Hyperprolactinemia:

Can be defined as the presence of abnormally high level of prolactin in the blood

Normal levels are typically 10-35ng/ml a prolactinoma should be suspected if the serum prolaction is >100ng/ml

Signs and Symptoms

Lactation and breast discharge.

Low libido.

Visual disturbances.
Bone loss (osteoporosis)
Vision loss.
Low levels of other pituitary hormones.

Role of Ovitex in Hyperprolactinemia:

Vitex agnus castus:

Vitex acts on the hypothalamic-pituitary axis. One observed effect is that it increases the production of luteinizing hormone (LH) resulting in a corpus luteum like hormonal effect that shifts the estrogen/progesterone ratio in favor of progesterone.The ability of Vitex to increase or modulate the body’s progesterone levels is therefore an indirect effect and not a direct hormonal action.

Ginko biloba:

Is effective against congestive symptoms of PMS, particularly  breast pain and breast  tenderness.

Magnesium:

This vital mineral is involved in essential fatty acid metabolism and vitamin B6 activity.

Has been shown to help with symptoms such as water retention and when combined with vitamin B6 anxiety symptoms.

Calcium:

Dysregulation of calcium may underlie some PMS symptoms.

Studies have shown that calcium supplementation may effectively alleviates PMS symptoms.

Zinc:

Zn levels have been shown to be low in women with PMS. In particular, zinc serves as one of the control factors for prolactin secretion.

Single most important nutrient for preconception, support healthy pregnancy and subsequent healthy birth

Deficiency may produce symptoms such as abnormal ovarian development, increased risk of miscarriage, or increased risk of teratogenicity.

Has specific antioxidant properties required for the reproductive system and protects the oocyte from free radicals and reactive oxygen species. It enables reproduction, ovulation, fertilization and the development of oocyte.

Vitamin D3:

Vitamin D3 has been shown to regulate the transcription and function of genes associated with placental invasion, normal implantation, and angiogenesis.

Vitamin B6:

Declining levels of serotonin and dopamine are implicated in PMS. Vitamin B6 can help increase the synthesis of these neurotransmitters.
