NOW Black Cohosh Details
Black Cohosh (Cimicifuga racemosa) is a plant indigenous to North America that has been traditionally used by Native Americans for generations to support female health as well as a host of other physical challenges. The dried root and rhizomes portion of the plant is generally used for herbal preparations. Black Cohosh has been successfully researched and used in Germany as herbal support for common symptoms related to menopause. The German Commission E included the monograph for Black Cohosh in 1989 based on the many years of clinical efficacy and safety of this herb. The active components identified belong to a family of triterpene glycosides and the best formulas are standardized to contain a guaranteed amount of these naturally occurring compounds. Though it was once theorized that Black Cohosh exerted its beneficial effects via estrogen like activity, more recent animal and human clinical studies performed in Europe have indicated that the pharmacology and mechanism of action is not estrogenic.
