Well I went to GNC today and they did not have Vitex, but they did have something just like it. It is a cycle balancer and it is standardized agnus castus. Which is what vitex is plus on the back it says vitex agnus-castus, so I figured I was getting the right thing. This is my first time using it.
Well it says that each pill is 40mg and that seems so low. Plus is says I should only take one a day. I have been seeing other cysters saying they take 1600mg!!WOW what a difference!! So my question is: Am I truly taking the right thing? Should I go get something different. I have already opened this so I am stuck with it. Our walmart doesn't have it, so I would order it online this time. What do you think??
Thanks
~Tracy

Virtex is also know as angus cactus and chaste berry tree so yes i'd say you have the right one. As for dosages i would do what it says on the back of the bottle. I'm sure there are other cysters in your area that r taking it and have bought the higher dose hopefully one will reply to yr post and maybe let you know where to get it from.

Its hard to say why doses r different on different makes it could be that some are more concentrated than others thats why its not recommended to take more than the rec dose

I purchase my Vitex from GNC and was taking 400mg. I was only experiencing a light spotting for many days so I increased my dosage to 800mg and my cycles are much more balanced.

Hi I just wanted to add when I bought my herbs from GNC the guy told me to keep my reciept and for any reason if I needed to return it wouldn't be a problem Opened or Not.. I would call if you don't think you got the right one. I also called 2 different GNC and they both had 2 different things. One had the womens blend that had some Vitex and other stuff in it. I didn't want that one so I called the next one on the list and they did have Vitex by it self and all the other herbs. HTH!!!

I was approved on 8/4/09 for RNY! Surgery Date is 9/22/09
They will really take it back? I opened it and used one today. I will call them tomorrow and ask about it. I don't want to go in there acting foolish about wanting my money back for an opened used product.
dosage of vitex?
