HERB OF THE DAY IS VITEX!

Herb of the Week: Vitex (Chaste Tree Berry)
Botanical name: Vitex agnus-castus
Chinese name: Man Jing Zi

Vitex is one of the most well-known and widely used herbs for supporting hormonal balance in horses.

Unlike hormone therapies, Vitex does not contain hormones. Instead, it works by supporting the pituitary gland, the regulatory center of the endocrine system, helping the body maintain healthy estrogen and progesterone levels naturally.

This makes it especially helpful for:

• Mares with difficult or irregular cycles
• Behavioral changes associated with hormonal fluctuation
• Horses needing long-term endocrine support (Cushing's)

Vitex has also been shown to influence dopamine pathways and support natural beta-endorphin release, which may help with mood and comfort during challenging cycles.

Because it works through endocrine regulation, Vitex is not a fast-acting herb. Consistent use for 8–12 weeks is typically recommended for best results.

 Vitex is a key ingredient in our Mare Mix and Stallion Mix, thoughtfully formulated to support hormone balance in mares, geldings, and stallions.
