In women especially. It's actually got an interesting combination of effects, as an adaptogen. If you take a very low dose it should do what you need. I'm not using it anymore mainly because PC is easier to control levels with and cheaper. Plus vitex also affects prolactin, whilst PC does not.
But if you can't get PC... Then vitex is the next best thing. Just be careful with it. Too much and you WILL spike your prolactin levels as well. Leaky boobs would be the least of the effects THAT would have!
