Blackmores Vitex Angus-Castus 40 Tablets April 2025

Blackmores Vitex Agnus-Castus was traditionally used in Western herbal medicine to help stabilise menstrual cycle irregularity, as well as reducing the symptoms of PMT. Blackmores Vitex Agnus-Castus can also help to relieve pre-menstrual symptoms (PMS) such as breast pain, breast tenderness, premenstrual acne, fluid retention and to help maintain healthy hormonal balance. It is believed to act primarily on the pituitary-hypothalamic axis, rather than directly on the ovaries. Vitex inhibits release of follicle stimulating hormone, whilst stimulating the release of luteinising hormone. These effects result in a shift in the oestrogen and progesterone ratio in favour of the latter, and vitex may be of assistance in cases of progesterone deficiency (relative to oestrogen).
