VITEX - What Does Aucubins mean??

[sethsmummy]

I got my Agnus Castus through today.. i got 100 * 100mg tablets... in small print it says

each tablet contains concentrated extract from 1000mg dried agnus castus and is standardised to guaruntee 600mcg aucubins

so now im a little confused?

Aucubins are a unique property to Agnus Castus as well as a few random other plants you may have heard of like marigolds. They are classifies as a new type of hepatoprotecting iridoid glucoside. Okay so unless biology is your major it mainly means it has special properties that allow it to bind in the blood a certain way as to be more effectively absorbed into the body. Good for a brand selling agnus castus because hypothetically speaking you are getting a better product when this element of the plant is included in the formula...make sense? They are actually trying to better isolate it's properties to create drugs for people with diabetes and hypoglycemia currently.
