Condition
Hyperprolactinemia
Hyperprolactinemia is a state of too much prolactin, a pituitary hormone that drives breast milk production and also influences reproductive function, so it can bring irregular or absent periods, infertility, breast discharge, or low libido. Little research on supplements for it has been reviewed here so far. Vitex has the strongest support of those considered, rated moderate, while vitamin B6 is limited and maca and ashwagandha are very limited.
