Pharmacological Properties of Chasteberry:Phytoestrogens as Viable Option.
The precise active ingredients are known. The berries as well as the leaves contain an aromatic oil with a variety of unique compounds. The iridoid glycosides (monoterpenes), including agnuside, aucubin, and eurostosid are the major unique constituents considered to be medicinally active.The plant is thought to contain a progesterone-like compound. Studies in Germany showed that extracts of Agnus castus stimulated the release of Luteinizing Hormone (LH) and inhibited the release of Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH), both progesterone-like effects
Estrogen replacement therapy is one of the most commonly prescribed medicines in the United States by traditional medical professionals. Over the past decade, the market for complementary/alternative therapies for hormone replacement has dramatically increased. Women are seeking more "natural" alternatives to treat menopausal symptoms. Well-designed randomized clinical trials are often lacking, as is the information on efficacy and safety.
Popular herbal therapies for menopausal symptoms including phytoestrogens, black cohosh (Cimicifuga racemosa), dong quai (Angelica sinensis), chast tree (Vitex agnus-castus), and wild Mexican yam.
Composition: Either the dried ripe fruit of the chaste tree or Vitex agnus-castus extract (VACE) may be used for medicinal purposes. VACE is standardized to contain a specified concentration of one of two plant glycosides (agnuside or aucubin); commercial preparations are usually standardized to contain 0.5% agnuside. Chaste tree berries also contain bioflavonoids and essential oils; the latter impart a pepper-like aroma and flavor.
