Black Cohosh is a Native American herb that has historically been used by middle-aged women to help support a number of female challenges. This potent extract is standardized to contain 2.5% total triterpene glycosides, the active measurable component in Black Cohosh.
There are numerous active compounds in black cohosh, including triterpene glycosides, saponins, cinnamic acid esters, and cycloartane glycosides. These biologically active ingredients have many health benefits, including balancing estrogen by mimicking. They are not estrogenic, however- they do not bind to the estrogen receptor.
By introducing plant hormones similar to those produced by the body, blach cohosh keeps estrogen levels steady, which are often unbalanced during menopause. This leads to sleeping better, overcoming night sweats, gaining more energy, and regaining control of their lives.
Many studies have been done with women who have experienced significant improvements in hot flashes, mood swings, depression, anxiety and vaginal dryness. Black cohosh has been known to help women lose unwanted weight when going through menopause.
