Chaste tree
Chaste Tree (Vitex agnus-castus) extract offers numerous benefits for women's health, thanks to its adaptogenic and regulating properties. It is particularly known for the following effects:
- Regulation of the menstrual cycle: Chasteberry helps stabilize the menstrual cycle, making it more regular. This is especially useful for women who suffer from menstrual irregularities, as the extract acts on the pituitary gland to stimulate the production of progestin hormones and balance prolactin levels.
- Relieving Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) Symptoms: thanks to its action on hormone production, chasteberry is effective in reducing common symptoms of PMS, such as irritability, anxiety, abdominal swelling, headaches and breast pain (mastalgia).
- Breast Health Support: Chaste tree extract has been shown to relieve breast pain associated with the menstrual cycle and contribute to a healthy balance in ovarian function, reducing the risk of discomfort.
- Anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties: Containing flavonoids and diterpenes, chasteberry offers anti-inflammatory and antioxidant benefits, helping to reduce inflammation and protect cells from oxidative damage.
- Calming effects: The sedative properties of chasteberry can help reduce nervous tension and anxiety, improving sleep quality and overall well-being.
