FAQ
Chasteberry Tincture is a natural food supplement made from chasteberry fruits (Vitex agnus-castus, fructus) using the traditional cold maceration method. This process helps preserve a broad spectrum of naturally occurring plant compounds.
The alcohol content is carefully adjusted to the characteristics of chasteberry fruits, allowing for the extraction of different groups of compounds, including bitter substances, flavonoids and other naturally occurring constituents. Water helps extract water-soluble compounds, while alcohol enables the extraction of less water-soluble substances. Together, they help capture a broad spectrum of the plant’s natural compounds.
Our raw materials are organically grown in the EU, carefully selected and processed with respect for the plant. Throughout the preparation process, we place great emphasis on quality, traceability and a respectful relationship with nature.

Chasteberry (Vitex agnus-castus)
Chasteberry is an aromatic deciduous shrub or small tree with palmately divided leaves and delicate violet-blue flowers. Native to the Mediterranean region and Western Asia, it is now also widely grown as an ornamental and useful plant. In English, it is also known as chaste tree or monk’s pepper, names that reflect its long history in European herbal tradition.
It belongs to the mint family (Lamiaceae). Although its appearance may not immediately suggest a member of this family, modern botanical classification places it among the Lamiaceae.
In herbalism, the fruits are the most commonly used part of the plant. These small, mature fruits contain the seeds, which is why the botanical term fructus is used when describing our tincture. The European herbal monograph on Vitex agnus-castus also focuses specifically on the fruit.
One of the fascinating aspects of chasteberry is its symbolic significance throughout history. The name “chaste tree” is associated with ancient traditions of chastity and restraint. Its fruits were also used as a mild spice in certain historical periods, giving rise to the name “monk’s pepper”.
In traditional herbalism, chasteberry is particularly well known as a herb for women, especially during the days leading up to menstruation and at different stages of hormonal transition. The European Medicines Agency recognises the traditional use of chasteberry fruit for the relief of minor symptoms in the days before menstruation. Its use has been firmly established in European herbal tradition for centuries.

Does Chasteberry Lower Testosterone?
Research on the effects of chasteberry on testosterone is inconclusive. Some animal studies suggest that it may influence the hormonal system, but this effect has not been clearly established in humans.
Chasteberry is not traditionally used to directly lower testosterone. Instead, it is primarily known in herbal practice as a plant associated with supporting hormonal balance.
Can Chasteberry Be Grown in Central Slovenia?
Yes, chasteberry (Vitex agnus-castus) can also be grown in central Slovenia, provided it has suitable growing conditions. It thrives in sunny, warm and sheltered locations with well-drained soil. During colder winters, additional protection is recommended. Planting it against a south-facing wall can provide extra warmth and shelter.
How Long Should You Take Chasteberry Before Noticing Changes?
Chasteberry is traditionally used regularly over an extended period. It is advisable to allow at least several weeks of consistent use, although noticeable changes may take up to three months.
In herbal practice, patience, consistency and paying attention to your body’s response are important. If symptoms persist or worsen, consult a healthcare professional.
