Chaste Berry (Vitex Agnus Castus) Powder
Beneficial for the hormonal system. Chaste Berry has been in use for centuries for balancing and regulating the hormonal system. It gently, but effectively, supports the normal functioning of the pituitary gland, correcting hormonal disturbances. Supporting the progesterone level is extremely helpful in counteracting the irritability and unpredictability that can happen with mares "in season," making them more comfortable, co-operative and safer to handle. Agnus Castus can also be used for overly aggressive stallions and geldings. Agnus castus may benefit your mare if she is experiencing mood changes, anxiety, nervous tension, and physical discomfort related to oestrous cycle.
