Dopaminergic Activity – Vitex agnus castus is thought to exert some of its effects via binding to the dopaminergic D2 receptors, modulating hormonal activity and indirectly normalising progesterone. In a placebo controlled crossover double-blind study of 20 healthy men, vitex had different effects on prolactin release at different concentrations. Men received doses of 120 mg, 240 mg or 480 mg of a vitex extract daily for 14 days. There was a significant increase in prolactin level in men receiving the lowest dose, but a slight reduction in prolactin level in those receiving the higher doses.

Improving Prementrual Tension – Vitex agnus castus has shown to be helpful in improving symptoms of PMS including irritability, mood alteration, anger, headache, breast fullness and other premenstrual symptoms such as bloating.

Addressing Oestrogen Dominance – Increasing progesterone levels may alleviate symptoms stemming from excessive oestrogen levels. Both hormones may be assessed by DUTCH urine hormone testing.

Improvements on Female Fertility Health Markers – One study found that concentrations of FSH and estradiol were significantly decreased, as well as estradiol levels on ovulation day, in patients receiving Vitex agnus-castus. It was also found that the average time of serum positive ß-HCG test was decreased. Ovulation day, endometrial thickness, chemical and clinical pregnancy rates in the experimental group were significantly higher than the control group throughout the course of treatment.
