Starwest BotanicalsOrganic Chaste Tree Berries Whole, 1 LbUSDA Organic

Arrived quickly, tastes ok though not something to serve for dessert. Too early to say how well it works.

My 19 year old Clyde/TB has been on Chasteberry more than on than off for 2-3 years as preventative measure. His first 12 years (before he came to me) were pretty rough and he had EPM and was malnourished.His coat is gorgeous, he is very healthy, and the happiest he’s been since arriving in my care.He gets a partially homemade diet, and I will continue adding .5 - 1 teaspoons daily.

Very happy with the quality of this chaste berry. I would expect nothing less from Starwest Botanicals, a quality herb company.

I was a bit skeptic to use this supplement after seeing multiple write ups with mixing chasteberry with prascend. My medium pony (700lbs.) takes 1/2 pill. But there was no sign that his long grizzly bear like coat would shed this year. since it has not the past few. I always ended up shaving him a few times a year. I fed just 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon to him once a day along with the precend. And he shed out!!! It was a long process and used shedding blade almost daily. But I dont have to shave him. Since he is all shed out, I decided to stop using it see what happens. He can be a picky eater but ate it fine.

Mr Coffee and Ninja blender as well as Ninja food processor totally failed to grind these. I tried for minutes long at a time. Took over an hour to blend 10 tablespoons. Found a new grinder on Amazon and it was able to get the job done super fast, quiet, and efficient.I am hoping based on others reviews this will help in conjuction with prascend for my horse. Fingers crossed now that we have it blended we see good results!

Ground into tincture. Already bought another bag!

Since reading that chaste berries are supposed to be helpful in regulating certain hormonal imbalances and that they can be very beneficial for horses with PPID, aka equine cushings, I decided to try these out for my 29 year old German riding pony mare. I have been giving her one tablespoon mixed in with her feed daily and after a few weeks of eating the berries she started to shed out her winter coat almost normally which hasn't happened in years. Her mood also became more balanced and she seems less plagued by irritability. The berries also smell very pleasant and fresh. Definitely a thumbs up from here!

I originally was looking for a supplement that would help my gelding with suspected insulin resistance. He had a weird shed pattern this spring and I noticed he was urinating A LOT. I started him on chaste tree berries and within days noticed a difference with the urination. He is also peeing a normal amount now and not making a giant muck spot in his stall. He also began shedding his summer coat, like I would usually expect. I put my mare on this too because she is pretty moody, especially when she goes in to season.
