For the Second Half of the Cycle
A lot of women's hormone complaints live in the two weeks before a period: mood, breast tenderness, heavy or irregular bleeding. The herb with the longest record there is chaste tree (vitex), and Progestaid pairs 200 mg of it with 200 mg of shepherd's purse, the traditional herb for heavy flow, plus active B vitamins, vitamins A, D, E, and K, and plant enzymes. Apex designs it to support hormonal balance and normal menstruation in women of reproductive age, and normal menstrual bleeding.*
Who I Reach For This With
- PMS that gets worse each year
- Heavy or irregular periods with no structural cause found
- Cycle changes after coming off hormonal birth control
- Women in their late 30s and 40s whose cycles are starting to shift
What Makes This Form Different
Vitex on its own is widely sold. Progestaid adds shepherd's purse for flow and the B vitamins the liver uses to clear hormones, in one capsule a day. Estrovite is Apex's estrogen-metabolism formula; the two address different halves of the picture and are sometimes used together.
How It Fits Into a Protocol
One capsule daily for at least three cycles before judging; vitex works slowly. With Adaptocrine when stress is disrupting the cycle.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I take it on birth control?
Ask your prescribing provider. Vitex works on the hormonal signaling that birth control also acts on.
Can I take it while trying to conceive?
Many practitioners use vitex in that setting, but it's a conversation with your provider, and stop once pregnant.
How long until my cycle changes?
Three cycles is the honest minimum.
Suggested Use: Take 1 capsule once a day, or as directed by your healthcare professional. 90 vegetarian capsules per bottle.
