[rstitan53]

i did a search and didnt get the info i wanted....i have read on the board that vitex at 1500mg a day help with gyno when taking fina....is this right? does it only help with fina? thanks for any replies i'm curious

 

[jack hust]

should help with deca also ansd maby abombs

 

[rstitan53]

how about with a test, eq, cycle ...come on guys

 

[jack hust]

you need nolva or arimi. for test or eq vitex only helps with progestrogin

 

[perfectspecimen]

u are all misinformed. vitex is for lowering prolactin levels when u take 450mg a day and more. if u take less than it will increase prolactin.

 

[drveejay11]

perfect specimim is correct (as is jack regarding the test and eq---nolva/arimidex will aid here)

First, there are no studies that I am aware of that show vitex prevents or treats gyno caused by anabolic steroids, so any remarks in that regard are speculation. That said, vitex has been shown to lower prolactin levels in mice and women. Prolactin secretion is inhibited by dopamine, and vitex seems to show dopaminergic activity.

Progesterone is one of many compounds that seems to raise prolactin levels. Some anabolic steroids, like deca and fina, bind relatively strongly to the progesterone receptor. It is possible that these agents could elevate prolactin levels, but studies (1) have shown otherwise.
