Chaste Tree Berry (Vitex agnus-castus L., fructus)
The ripe berries of Vitex agnus-castus contain active plant compounds such as flavonoids (e.g., casticin and vitexin), iridoid glycosides (for instance agnuside), and diterpenoids(1). These compounds are believed to work by influencing the body’s hormone-regulating systems, especially the pituitary-hypothalamic axis, which plays a role in the menstrual cycle and related symptoms(2). The herb has a long tradition in Europe for supporting women’s reproductive wellness, particularly for pre-menstrual symptoms and menstrual irregularities. The European Medicines Agency (EMA) has issued a community herbal monograph recognising the traditional use of Vitex agnus-castus for these herbal indications(3).

I was recommended the chaste tree berry tea buy a worker for my chin acne induced by hormonal imbalance and wearing a mask, and it has helped so much! I would recommend it to everyone. My chin has cleared up, hormonally however, I feel those results may take longer to see
