What is Black Cohosh?

Black cohosh, or Cimicifuga racemosa, is an herb that is said to have similar effects in the body to the female sex hormone estrogen. Therefore, the herb is often used as a practical alternative to hormone replacement therapy for menopausal women. Additionally, black cohosh is commonly used to help ease the discomfort of premenstrual syndrome (PMS).

Health Benefits

It is supported by several research studies that black cohosh is effective and safe for use by menopausal women in place of hormone replacement therapy, or by women experiencing PMS. There is no evidence to support claims that black cohosh is useful in the treatment of other conditions such as bronchitis, joint pain or insomnia.

Usage Indications

General recommended dosage is 40mg dried black cohosh per day. Formulations vary, so be sure to consult with the manufacturer’s suggested dosage, as well as your physician.
Black cohosh is available in fresh/dried root, liquid, capsule and tablet form.

It is generally recommended that black cohosh not be taken for a period greater than 6 months, except under medical supervision.

• Side effects: Taken in normal dosages, stomach or intestinal pain may sometimes occur in sensitive individuals. Extremely high doses (5 grams or greater) may be toxic and should be treated immediately as a medical emergency.
• Indications: Pregnant/breastfeeding women should avoid this supplement. Consult your physician before beginning the use of this and any other dietary supplement.
