What it is

Black Cohosh (Cimicifuga Racemosa) is a women's hormonal health supplement. Black cohosh root is one of the best-studied botanicals for menopausal vasomotor symptoms. Used in adult dosing protocols in India and internationally, it is sold as a single-ingredient supplement.

How it works

Triterpene glycosides act on serotonergic and possibly oestrogen-receptor-beta pathways to reduce hot-flush frequency without classic oestrogenic stimulation of breast or uterine tissue. Effects are dose-dependent and typically measurable within 4-8 weeks.

Who should take it

Peri- and post-menopausal women seeking non-hormonal relief from hot flushes and night sweats.

Avoid / careful

Avoid with liver disease and in pregnancy. Rare reports of hepatic reactions — stop if jaundice occurs.
