Monk's pepper(Vitex agnus-castusChaste tree (Vitex agnus-castus), also known as monk's pepper, is a medicinal plant traditionally used to support the female hormonal balance. The main effects of chaste tree stem from its ability to influence the balance of certain hormones.

• Regulation of the menstrual cycleChasteberry can help balance irregular menstrual cycles by affecting the hormonal balance and supporting the body's own progesterone production.
• Relief from PMS symptomsThe plant is frequently used for premenstrual symptoms such as mood swings, breast tenderness, headaches and water retention, as it influences the hormonal balance and can thus alleviate PMS symptoms.
• Support for menopausal symptomsChasteberry can also be used during menopause to alleviate symptoms such as hot flashes and mood swings.
• Positive effects on hormonally related skin problems: Due to its regulating effect on hormone production, chaste tree can also help with acne and other skin problems, especially if these have hormonal causes.
• Promoting fertilitySince chaste tree (Vitex agnus-castus) can support progesterone levels, it is also used in naturopathy for women trying to conceive. A stable progesterone level is important for maintaining the uterine lining and therefore for fertility.

The effect of chaste tree is due to its active ingredients such as iridoid glycosides (especially agnuside), flavonoids and essential oils, which modulate the release of certain hormones in the brain, such as prolactin.

OurChaste tree extractIt is extracted from the entire fruiting body of Greek Vitex agnus-castus plants. We obtain exclusive batches from growing areas around the island of Crete.

The extraction process is dual: once with pure water for all water-soluble ingredients and once with food-grade alcohol for all fat-soluble ingredients. The alcohol evaporates completely after extraction. As always, no chemical solvents are used, thus fully preserving the natural purity of the high-quality raw material.

The dried, pure 5:1 extract is blended with the neutral filler flaxseed flour and filled into our own vegan capsule shells. 100% free of additives, colorings, or other fillers. Production has always taken place in Germany under the strictest regulations – without compromise.
