Agnus Castus (also known as Chaste Tree, Monk's Pepper and Vitex) is a popular natural aid for the symptoms of Pre-Menstrual Syndrome (PMS).
Agnus Castus helps to relieve the symptoms of PMS including irritability, depression, headache and bloating.
Recent research has indicated that Agnus Castus increases levels of the hormone progesterone in relation to oestrogen and there is compelling evidence that these effects could help to correct hormonal imbalances common in PMS, thereby helping to ease its symptoms.
Furthermore, a study from the British Medical Journal (1), that evaluated the effects of 20mg Agnus Castus fruit (Ze 440) per day, concluded that the "extract of Agnus Castus fruit is an effective and well tolerated treatment for the relief of symptoms of premenstrual syndrome".
Ze440, regarded as a premium extract of Agnus Castus, is a non-hormonal and a completely 100% natural extract.
