    I am 43 and had a lot of period problems, irregular cycles, too long cycles, etc. After some research, I have used myo-inositol 4100 mg daily, vitex -40 mg daily and wild yam supplement -880 mg daily and also wild yam cream (a small quantity twice a day alternating the part of the body). They suggest to use any supplement to regulate the cycle for 3 months to see the results. However, after around 1 month, my cycle has arrived just on time and lasted 4 days, the next cycle was again regular. So it worked perfectly for me. The wild yam should be used 3 weeks and you should stop doing wild yam for 1 week every month (best to stop it on the first day of the cycle). For PCOS, the best product I guess is the myo-inositol together with vitamin B6 (which helps to the liver to trash the extra oestrogen).

      Is Yam and Vitex safe with bleeding fibroids? I have estrogen dominance and hypothyroidism

    Very, very informative, thank you....I was using Vitex for a few weeks, didn't experience anything wrong but I just felt to stop... then after a year or two I started to take it again whilst doing further research. I think that when the body goes through side effects I don't think it's anything to do with what 'God has created for us through Nature', but what we eat, drink and our DNAs are different along with our thoughts. 🙏🏽

    Thank you so much for sharing these informations. I take a lot of PCOS suplements. I suspected that vitex could be causing some unexpected side effects. I'll talk to my doctor about this.

    My fertility doctor found my FSH is elevated at 23, do you think Vitex would be good for me? Have lots of skin and bloating issues, rosacea, hives, IBS. Haven’t been able to get pregnant. All started after a miscarriage 5 yrs ago now. I’m 42 yrs old. Periods are regular, about 25 day cycle every month.

    What are your thoughts on using natural
    Progesterone cream alongside Vitex? I’ve read mixed thoughts on this.

    • @LiveWellZoneChannel
      @LiveWellZoneChannel  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I think it has to be evaluated on a case by case basis by an herbalist or doctor (MD or ND, depending on who you're working with). Since vitex acts on the pituitary, it has a direct impact on everything else that happens downstream as far as hormone production goes. Knowing your hormone levels will allow the doc or herbalist to decide whether both are needed and dosage can be adjusted accordingly.

    It made me bleed inbetween periods and gave me itchy skin. Shame, as it worked well on reducing my hormonal breast pain. I was taking 1 x 4mg tablet a day.

    • @LiveWellZoneChannel
      @LiveWellZoneChannel  9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thanks for sharing this. Your experience highlights why I mentioned in the video that many herbalists say vitex is very, very dose-dependent. If you want to continue using it consult with an herbalist or naturopathic doctor.

      I have other videos on inositol and herbs that support fertility. You can have at this playlist for those videos: th-cam.com/play/PLzbx9OLG_gWDgASBrgtTlD2BAot9FB9w7.html
      Keep in mind that even though some herbs/supplements are generally helpful for PCOS, knowing your specific hormone levels makes it easier to choose the right herbs. So, take that into consideration and work a specialist like I suggested in the video, to get a more precise set of herbs for you.

    Wow. That video was really honest and informative. Thank you.
    May I ask for your honest opinion on my problem.
    I was diagnosed with Depleted ovarian reserve, Also I don’t have menstruation for 6-7 years. I am 40 years old at the moment.
    Do you think that Vitex can help me getting back my menstruation and maybe ovulating again.
    Thank you in advance

    • @LiveWellZoneChannel
      @LiveWellZoneChannel  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      If you're trying to address things naturally, it's best to seek the help of a natural practitioner (doctor, herbalist, etc.) to come up with a customized diet and lifestyle plan for you. At that time they'll be able to assess if vitex makes sense for you.

    • @LiveWellZoneChannel
      @LiveWellZoneChannel  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Vitex's main action doesn't change from what I described in the video: it acts on the pituitary and affects hormones produces by ovaries. This small study mentions that it helps with some menopause-related symptoms, including hot flashes and anxiety: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6887765/
      Also keep mind that during menopause you may benefit from using it combination with other herbs. An herbalist or naturopath can help you determine the best blend for you.

    • @missdatoo9590
      @missdatoo9590 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Probably eating a lot of sweet potatoes. I heard that people who don't really have a strong history of twins in their family, but tribes who eat a lot of sweet potatoes increase chances for twins. So a combination of vitex and sweet potatoes.

      Have you seen a doctor to get a thorough hormone test done? Based on everything you've mentioned, it will help a great deal to know exactly where your hormones so that you can choose the right herbs (as well as any other complimentary therapies that may be needed).

      Thank you so much for your reply, I have been to the doctors and she sent me for scans to see if is cyst ect but all came back clear, it's so frustrating not to know the cause as you can appreciate my clock is ticking so I'm hoping the vitex works as this is my last hope, iv read spotting is due to low progesterone is this the case? It's so hard to get into the doctors as the moment and are only taking phone appointments xx
