Adults: Take 1 tablet daily, in the morning, or as directed by your health professional.

Vitex agnus-castus may affect hormones and medicines such as oral contraceptives. Consult your health professional before use.
DRUG INTERACTIONS:
Contraindicated with fertility drugs or IVF - the addition of Vitex could potentially cause hyperstimulation of the ovaries.
Caution with hormone replacement therapy, oral contraceptive pills and progesterone drugs - given Vitex's hormone modulating effect, it may theoretically interfere with the action of these drugs.
CAUTIONS:
Avoid use in individuals with tumours sensitive to oestrogen or progesterone.
Vitex is not generally recommended in females under 20 years of age as the natural hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis can be easily disrupted.
Vitex is most effective during the first three to six months of use. After that, its effect on the pituitary starts to diminish. It is recommended to take a break from Vitex for two months before resuming use.
Not recommended during pregnancy without medical advice and breastfeeding due to insufficient studies relating to safety.
SIDE EFFECTS:
In some cases, Vitex may initially worsen PMS symptoms.
