Wowowow, you definitely did a ton of research! I'm kinda interested in taking vitex too, I feel like I have estrogen deficiency or something that's what it said when I took those online hormone tests. But is it okay to take with BO? BO has been working pretty well for me I think.

What country are you in?

Okay so first of all, I'm an animal lover.Not vegan, not vegetarian not any category. I just like to live consciously. That means I don't see animals as being food,but companions. Not that it has anything to do with the fact that you're taking BO or not. It's just that I don't feel comfortable recommending certain products to people if I don't agree with that certain industry's policy kind of. If it does not sound ethical.
Put that aside, BO stimulates the human pituitary gland. The pituitary gland is also called the "Master gland" and it really is so. This particular gland produces hormones that control many functions of other endocrine glands. The anterior pituitary makes growth hormone, puberty hormones, thyroid stimulating hormone, including prolactin. So taking Vitex won't do much in comparison with BO. One of the problems though is that you DON'T want to mess with the endocrine system. Those are very delicate glands that control A LOT of things in your body and taking a supplement like BO interferes with those. You have to know what's happening with your body while taking it and be very cautious. Also you can't rely on it because it's not recommended that you use it for long periods of time. Another problem would be that you don't 100% know the provenience of the ovaries. I'm saying this because I came across this article, and there was a doctor that replied to a woman about the side effects that BO administration can have and he said that, quote:
Another concern is that there are infectious agents called 'prions' that can possibly be carried by cow glandular products. Prions are scary for a number of reasons. They are not eliminated through any of the currently used 'purification' techniques for most supplements (like heating, filtering, etc.). In other words, you can't guarantee that they aren't in the pills. Also, they can lie dormant in our nervous systems for years, then manifest later as some kind of neurologic disease (the most famous prion-caused disease is Mad Cow, but there are others).

I'm not an expert, so I can't say that some of you might not really benefit from it. It's just that I can't say it's 100% safe. I always prefer the natural/non cruel way.

If you say you've had good results from taking it ,then by all means do take it. I just recommend you being more conscious about it.
