Vitex is a shrub from Italy and Greece. The berries that the shrub creates has been used as an herbal remedy for centuries. In fact, it is one of the most popular natural, over-the-counter herbal supplement in all of Europe. It is most often used to help treat hormonal imbalances in women, which is causing them to struggle to become pregnant. Claim Your 20 Free Pregnancy Tests – Click Here

The best thing about Vitex is that it is natural, so there are no harsh chemicals or hormones to worry about. This means that you can take the supplement without worrying about any negative side effects. The results for this supplement have been pretty amazing.

How it Works

Although the exact way Vitex affects the body is still unknown, it is believed to affect the pituitary gland. This is a gland that controls many functions in the body. For the ovaries, it sends signals that tell them what kind of hormones they need to make.

One of the hormones that Vitex has been shown to affect is FSH. By affecting this hormone, LH is increased, which, in turn, will increase the amount of progesterone that the body makes. Increasing progesterone is important because not having enough of it could make it difficult to ovulate.

In addition to this, Vitex also helps regulate the luteal phase. The luteal phase is when your body will thicken the lining of the uterus. When the lining doesn’t have enough time to thicken, this could mean the embryo isn’t able to attach to it. In the end, this could cause you to miscarry or not be able to become pregnant at all.

Disorders it Helps

Along with the natural functions of the body, Vitex can also help women with certain medical conditions that make it harder to become pregnant. For example, it can help treat mild endometriosis and help to keep it from becoming more severe. It can also help reduce uterine cysts that can grow in the uterus, making is harder to conceive.

For women who are struggling to begin ovulating correctly after they have stopped birth control, this is also a helpful supplement. Even for women who are not trying to conceive it is helpful. Vitex helps to control PMS symptoms and make a menstrual cycle balanced. It even helps women who have a period that occurs too frequently or is heavy.

This is a fantastic supplement that women can take when they are trying to get pregnant. It is a natural way to boost fertility and helps women avoid taking prescription medication that can have some dangerous side effects. However, keep in mind that natural supplements tend to take longer to work than prescriptions because they do work naturally in the body rather than force the body to do something differently. Also, always discuss with your doctor the supplements you are taking.
