HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Organic Chasteberry by Ra Herbals
Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.
What’s inside
Low disclosure
This product contains one active ingredient: chasteberry (vitex agnus-castus), a plant extract traditionally used to support hormonal balance. The liquid form also contains cane alcohol and distilled water as inactive ingredients.
Does it work?
Moderate evidence
Chasteberry is possibly effective for premenstrual syndrome (PMS) and mastalgia (breast tenderness related to the menstrual cycle). For other uses — anxiety, aging skin, and premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) — the evidence we hold is insufficient to rate it.
For fractures, available evidence suggests it's possibly ineffective.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Chasteberry is generally well tolerated when taken short-term, though the safety notes advise caution because it may affect hormones and should be used under guidance. The most commonly reported side effects include diarrhea, fatigue, headache, insomnia, irregular menstruation, nausea, stomach pain, and vomiting.
Skin irritation, rash, acne, and hair loss have also been reported. Because it may influence hormones, the safety data advises against use during pregnancy and while breastfeeding.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Before taking this product, check whether you're on any antipsychotic medication, metoclopramide (Reglan), oral contraceptives, estrogens or hormone replacement therapy, or dopamine agonists. All of these carry Moderate-severity interaction concerns with chasteberry.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with some supporting evidence for its stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
Chasteberry may help with PMS symptoms and breast tenderness, but only if you're not on hormonal medications, antipsychotics, or dopamine-related drugs. If you take birth control, hormone therapy, or any psychiatric medication, talk to your pharmacist before starting.
Pregnant and breastfeeding people should skip it.
Educational only — not medical advice; always confirm with your pharmacist. Our editorial policy · How we use AI
Assessment coverage: 1 of 1 active ingredient matched to our full ingredient reviews (monographs). Based on the product label dated Jan 24, 2024.
This Scorecard evaluates available label information, ingredient evidence, and known medication-safety considerations. It does not independently verify product identity, purity, potency, contamination, or manufacturing quality. How these ratings are computed
