Please do, we always welcome candid feedback. But this formula truly outshines all the rest.

Resurrecting an old post yet again .... seem to be doing that lately. But I have a question for OL .... I've been very happy with all their products over the years and have used Arimacare Pro on all my cycles. Just curious about the addition of Vitex Agnus Castus in this new formula. Controversial evidence on what the effects are on men everywhere I look. I am about to start another cycle after being off for the past 6 months and took out my stash of Armicare Pro and noticed this on the ingredients list .... got me thinking. Hope someone from OL will respond to this old post. Segansational

Addition to my post above .... I have used arimicare pro on all my cycles in the past but its been the old original formula ... haven't used the new stuff yet although I purchased several bottles to add to my stash for future use ... and now its about time to use them but I am a bit apprehensive now that I see the vitex agnus castus in there .... just want some clarification on why OL put it in there ... naturally they may know more than I do or more than I seem to be able to find out through online research

Vitex is in there for prolactin control, you can read the write-up which provides some more context here:

^ As GNO mentioned, Vitex is included as part of a comprehensive prolactin control matrix in Arimacare Pro. Vitex has been shown to reduce levels of prolactin both in vitro and in vivo in cases of hyperprolactinemia. And even if you're not sold on vitex, the inclusion of P-5-P and mucuna pruriens will help keep prolactin levels down, so you'll be covered either way.

Its not that I am not sold on Vitex ... its just that I have read a lot about its negative effects on male libido .... so much so that there are references to monks chewing on the raw plant to help control sexual urges lol Now I am also aware that with herbal products the effects are generally dose dependent ... and all the doses I have seen in my research that reduce T and lower libido have been in the 120-200mg range ... and Arimcare Pro has it at 600mg ... so my thoughts are that at higher doses the effects on the male libido are much different. Keep in mind that I trust OL and have always loved their products ... this one ingredient just caught my eye. I tend to research just about everything I ingest so this is nothing new.

Well, keep in mind that ARIMACARE PRO would be taken presumably while you are supplementing with exogenous androgens, so libido will already be high and should not be a concern. But you are correct that certain herbs or drugs can have biphasic, differential effects at low vs high doses as well. Again, the key here for vitex being that the higher dose used here is included to help reduce prolactin. Hope that helps.
