Chaste Tree - Uses and Benefits
Family: Verbenaceae
Genus: Vitex
Species: Agnus Castus
Other Names: Chaste Tree, Chasteberry, Monk's Pepper, Chasteberry, Cloister Pepper, Monk's Berry, Vitex, Vitex agnus-castus.
Composition of Chaste Tree
Either the dried ripe fruit of the chaste tree or Vitex agnus-castus extract (VACE) may be used for medicinal purposes. VACE is standardized to contain a specified concentration of one of two plant glycosides (agnuside or aucubin); commercial preparations are usually standardized to contain 0.5% agnuside. Chaste tree berries also contain bioflavonoids and essential oils; the latter impart a pepper-like aroma and flavor.
