Best Answer: No. It balances your hormones to help with PMS.
I wouldn't stop taking it, at least for a little while. I am 47 and have been taking it everyday for about 2 years because of very heavy bleeding. If I stop taking it, the bleeding becomes heavy again. I take 2 capsules twice a day and always have a spare bottle so that I don't run out of it!
we dont stop, my daugther all the time

Unfortunately, I can't answer your question! I purchased this back in January 2013 after a friend recommended it to me as part of a vitamin regimen to help me get pregnant! Must have worked, as I was pregnant 2 months later! Sorry I couldn't be of any help here. Hope you find your answer!
shannon, did u take it daily the whole two months or just couple of days before,during,and after period?thanks
Unsure if vitex would help nausea or dizziness, but because of it's overall benefits for women during menopause, it probably wouldn't hurt to add it to your regime. I've noticed that it just helps my overall sense of wellbeing and makes my periods less eventful.
This did not help to diminish my hot flashes or night sweats. It did help to regulate my cycle though. I don't know if it will help your nausea or dizziness. What has helped my premenopausal symptoms significantly is Maca powder (gelatinized) by Gaia.
I really don't know the answer to that question. I would talk with a health care professional about the nausea and dizziness. The Chasteberry along with Black Cohosh helped me with the night sweats and hot flashes. Hope this helps.
It won't get rid of anything, and must be a part of a larger picture of lifestyle adjustments, but yes, it helps.
Thanks so much i will definately look into maca powder

I used to take 2 a day; 1 a.m. and 1 p.m. It work for a little bit, but then it seemed to stop working for me. I wanted something natural and in the end chose to let my body just go through it's season. That worked the best! My best to you.
Two each morning except during my menstrual cycle- then none.
I take 4 a day ... 2 in the morning and 2 at night.
4, 2 in the morning and 2 at night.

I have used this product for a couple of years. I experimented with the dosage to find what works for me. I keep it by my bed and I take 2 in the morning and 2 before I fall asleep. I go off it for 5 days when I am on my period. It especially helps with the waves of irritability and moodiness. I have never had any side effects. I am not a doctor. But you could try 1 pill in the morning right when you get out of bed. I would try for 2 cycles. Then add one at night for a couple cycles til you find what is best for you. If I have forgotten to take them or I run out my husband totally can tell. He will gently ask if I reordered! Haha! Good luck!
I have been using it as part of a regimen to reduce menopausal symptoms and it's worked better than I've ever expected and have had no issues with the dosage.
I have been taking 2 capsules twice a day for at least 2 years and haven't experienced any side effects from it.

No, not really. I use Nature's Way System Well for immunity issues. Highly recommend that for "Ultimate Immunity."
No, I didn't.

I have used Vitamin Shoppe brand Chasteberry Vitex Extract capsules for 8 years. It is the only natural remedy I found that stops the hot flashes and keeps them away with a daily regimen of use. For me 2 capsules in the AM and 2 in the PM works. I had a complete hysterectomy at age 28 and used synthetic replacement until age 55. For over a year I tried multiple natural remedies but nothing took away the hot flashes except Chasteberry. That is all I use for them. If I go off them for 2 days the flashes come right back so I know it works. It is WORTH A TRY so give it a good 4-6 weeks to take effect but it could work sooner than that. My flashes were severe because I had nothing to produce any estrogen at all so for me it took a few weeks. It is a blessing to me. Abi E.
I have taken this for about three years now. Have no complaints. It helps me with my moods, hot flashes and breast tenderness
