How It’s Thought to Work
Chasteberry is used traditionally in herbal medicine for female reproductive and hormonal health. The proposed mechanisms include:
-
Influence on the pituitary gland, especially to modulate prolactin and possibly balance other hormones. Higher prolactin can interfere with progesterone production, so by lowering prolactin, chasteberry may help progesterone levels relatively increase.
-
Possibly helping with the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle (the second half).
