What ProEstro is
ProEstro is a women's herbal dietary supplement from VH Nutrition, sold here as one bottle of 60 capsules. The Supplement Facts panel counts those 60 capsules as 30 servings of two capsules, and the panel gives 1,500 mg per serving of a six-botanical mixture it names the ProEstro Proprietary Blend. The front of the bottle carries the same 1,500 mg figure alongside the words "60 Capsules" and "dietary supplement". The capsules themselves are gelatin, in a gold-toned size 00 shell that the brand's own directions card measures at roughly 0.91 inches, or 23.1 mm, long.
Every figure on this page is transcribed from the product's own packaging and label artwork — the Supplement Facts panel, the directions card and the bottle front.
What's inside
The panel lists six botanicals in a single proprietary blend: Black Cohosh, Shatavari, Chaste Tree Berry, Dong Quai, Ginger root and Epimedium. Because they are declared as a blend, the label gives one combined figure — 1,500 mg per two-capsule serving — and does not break that total down ingredient by ingredient. No Daily Value is established for any of the six, which the panel marks with an asterisk. Here is what each one actually is:
- Black Cohosh — a woodland perennial native to eastern North America, in the buttercup family. The part used in supplements is the root and rhizome, and it has a long documented history in North American herbal practice. The NCCIH "Herbs at a Glance" index keeps general background entries on botanicals of this kind.
- Shatavari — Asparagus racemosus, a climbing relative of garden asparagus that grows across the Indian subcontinent. Its Sanskrit name refers to its clustered tuberous roots, which are the part traditionally prepared, and it is one of the long-standing herbs of Ayurvedic practice.
- Chaste Tree Berry — the dried fruit of Vitex agnus-castus, a Mediterranean shrub. The small berries are peppery enough that they were historically used as a seasoning, and they have a long record in European herbal tradition.
- Dong Quai — the root of Angelica sinensis, a tall aromatic plant in the same botanical family as carrot, celery and parsley. It is cultivated in the mountainous provinces of China and is one of the most widely traded roots in Chinese herbal commerce.
- Ginger root — the rhizome of Zingiber officinale, the same ginger sold in grocery produce aisles and used as a kitchen spice worldwide. It is among the most familiar botanicals that turn up in supplement blends.
- Epimedium — a genus of shade-loving perennials, known to gardeners as barrenwort, whose leaves have been used in Chinese herbal preparations for centuries.
The only other ingredient on the panel is the gelatin capsule shell itself. There are no listed fillers, flow agents, colors or sweeteners. Gelatin is animal-derived, so these capsules are not vegetarian or vegan. The NIH consumer fact sheet on botanical dietary supplements explains how blends like this one are regulated and labeled, and the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database is a useful place to compare printed panels across products. Neither source refers to this product.

How to use it
The directions printed on the brand's own card read: take one serving of ProEstro with 12 oz of fluid in the morning and again in the early afternoon, and always consult a physician before beginning any dietary regimen. One serving is two capsules, so following that schedule in full means four capsules across the day.
At two servings a day, the 30 servings in a bottle work out to a 15-day supply. The capsules are size 00 — a standard large capsule, about 0.91 inches long — and the directions call for a full 12 oz of fluid with each serving rather than a small sip, which is worth knowing if you find big capsules awkward to swallow.
Who it's for
ProEstro is sold as a general herbal dietary supplement for adult women, 18 and over. It sits alongside the rest of our supplements for women range, and in the broader women's adult products category. A single 60-capsule bottle is the format to pick if you want to see what the blend is like before committing to a multi-month routine, since it covers the directed intake for a little over two weeks.
It is not suitable for anyone under 18, and the gelatin shell rules it out for shoppers who need a vegetarian or vegan capsule. If you are pregnant or nursing, take prescription medication, or are managing a medical condition, speak to a licensed healthcare professional before adding any herbal supplement to your routine.
Good to know
This is a proprietary blend, which means the label is not obliged to publish how much of each of the six botanicals it contains, and it does not. If you are comparing ProEstro against another product on individual herb amounts, that comparison cannot be made from either panel. Several of the botanicals here — black cohosh and dong quai among them — are ones shoppers often want to raise with a pharmacist or physician alongside any medication they already take, which is a sensible conversation to have before starting.
Keep the bottle out of reach of children. The NCCIH page on dietary and herbal supplement safety covers general questions about herbal products and medication alongside them; it is background reading and not a comment on this product.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many capsules are in a bottle, and how many servings is that?
A bottle of ProEstro holds 60 capsules, which the Supplement Facts panel counts as 30 servings of two capsules each. Following the label's schedule of one serving in the morning and one in the early afternoon, a bottle covers 15 days.
Are ProEstro capsules vegetarian or vegan?
No — the capsule shell is gelatin, which is animal-derived. "Gelatin Capsule" is the single entry under Other Ingredients on the panel, so there is no plant-based shell option for this product.
Does the label say how much of each herb is in the blend?
No. All six botanicals are declared together as the ProEstro Proprietary Blend at 1,500 mg per two-capsule serving, with no individual amounts printed and no Daily Value established for them. That is a standard proprietary-blend declaration, and it is all the panel gives.
When does the label say to take it?
The directions say to take one serving with 12 oz of fluid in the morning and again in the early afternoon, and to consult a physician before beginning any dietary regimen. One serving is two capsules.
How is the order packaged?
Orders ship in plain outer packaging that says nothing about the contents. It will not show the Gear Isle name. Orders go out no later than the next business day, and faster paid delivery services can be selected during checkout.
