if you have lost hair from vitex, drop it. maybe substitute saw palmetto.

I've been on it for about 3 months and haven't had any problems. In fact, I will keep taking it for other reasons besides NBE. My periods and PMS are almost non existant now!! Enough reason for me to keep taking it:-)

I haven't had any problems with hair loss, and I have been taking vitex for 6 months, I did some research online and a lot of websites say it actually promotes hair growth, but then there are other sites that some of the side effects are hair loss. I hate when I find information like that, but here are the links that I found:

These are the ones that say it helps:

here are some that say it doesn't:

Hope it helps

I have been on Vitex since Dec, and have had no hair loss, just the opposite. I have noticed less hair falling out now, then I did before I started taking it. Although I haven't noticed any major improvement for NBE with it, I will say that it does wonderful things for pms symptoms.

Nope, no weight gain at all! I did have weight gain when I was on the individual herbs. About 10 pounds worth! Since I've stopped all those and am only taking the Vitex and BO, I've lost the 10 pounds. I have found that I have no acne (at 41, that's a good thing), PMS is gone, periods use to last 7 days at least and now they are over in 3. I still have a pretty bad first day, but after that, I can't even tell I'm having it!

But doesn't the Vitex stop the Bovine Ovary from having any effect since it balances out hormones rather than allow raised levels of them?

No hair loss. Actually, my hair has grown thicker overall, but that is also because I have been taking silica and biotin.

Weelllll, that is an interesting question. And, one I hadn't thought about. I have pains with the BO and I am having some progress as well. But, if the Vitex interfers with it, then I may have to stop the BO and go with something else. I'm not giving up the Vitex!:-)) Anyone else here have info on taking the Vitex and BO together??? I really don't want to have to start over again with, yet again, a new pill. I already feel like a science project. Like I belong in one of those booths at the fair. "ladies and gentlemen, step on up and see the lady that has tried every pill in the world to make her boobs grow" Sorry, I'm not awake yet:-)))

I believe it has caused me much heartache. Perhaps I am extreme case. Took vitex for 3 months. Did not know it could cause hair loss since most sites do not mention it. Now stopped and am in wait and see mode.

I think the only hair loss will be on your body and face I doubt it will be the hair on top of your head. I have been taking Vitex for awhile and it has only made my body hair almost to the point it isn't even trying to grow anymore.
