Info: 100 Veg. Caps; 400 mg Per Capsule
Vitex or Chaste berry is mostly known as a hormone normalizer for addressing female reproductive system issues like helping relieve premenstrual symptoms, stabilize menstrual cycle irregularities, or relieve symptoms associated with menopause, such as hot flashes, breast pain, or mood changes. But people forget it was originally used for men's issues as well - including for dampening libido (one of its early names was Monk's Pepper, for that reason).
