Chaste Tree Berries (Powder)

Description

Chaste Tree Berries (Vitex agnus-castus) for Horses

Chaste tree berries are an herbal supplement sometimes used in horses to support hormonal balance, particularly in mares with reproductive or behavioral issues related to the estrous cycle.

Potential Benefits

Hormonal & Reproductive Support

• May help mares with:

  • Irregular estrous cycles

  • Excessive “moodiness” during heat

  • PMS-like behavioral changes (e.g., irritability, restlessness)

• Works by supporting pituitary gland regulation, particularly influencing prolactin and progesterone balance.

Behavioral Support

• Can reduce behaviors like:

  • Nervousness

  • Aggression or crankiness during estrus

  • Restlessness in mares

Important Considerations

• Effects are subtle and gradual, often taking 4–6 weeks to notice changes.

• Not a sedative; it regulates hormonal response, so it does not calm all anxious horses.

• Should not be used in pregnant mares without veterinary guidance.
