Chaste Berry is an herbal supplement used to support mood and hormone balance in horses. It has also been shown to help alleviate symptoms of Cushing’s disease (PPID). The fruits and leaves of the chaste berry shrub contain active ingredients such as essential oils and flavonoids that influence hormone levels. It is said to help make moody mares easier to handle and have a calming effect on aggressive males.

The active ingredients in Chaste Berry can support healthy function of the pituitary gland — the region of the brain affected by PPID.

Chaste Berry will not cure or treat PPID, but it can be used to support pituitary function and help improve some symptoms of the disease. It can stimulate shedding and improve energy levels in horses with PPID.

Chaste Berry might also support metabolic health in horses with PPID by improving glucose and insulin levels. That can help lower the risk of laminitis and reduce abnormal fat deposits.
