Black Cohosh Root Liquid Extract contains a particular species of Black Cohosh native to the rich woodlands of the Eastern part of the US from Massachusetts all the way west to Indiana and as far south as Missouri and Georgia. Also known as Actaea racemosa , Black Cohosh: • Supports the Normal Transition into Menopause* • Supports Adaptation to Normal Menstrual Cycles* • Supports the Female Reproductive Organs* The nutritional uses of Black Cohosh are well noted in literature dating back to the 1800s where you will most likely find with the name 'Macrotys' after a group of “resins” that early chemists isolated from the rhizomes. Native American tribes including Cherokee, Algonquian, and Iroquois used the plant as an alcohol extract (“in spirits”) to support a healthy inflammatory response in rheumatism, to support bronchial health, to support normal levels of energy, and to support the female reproductive system during the menopausal and perimenopausal years.*There are many “active” chemicals in Black Cohosh root, including: Phytosterin, the isoflavone formononentin; isoferulic, fukinolic, caffeic, and salicylic acids; sugars; tannins; long chain fatty acids; and 15-20% resins including cimicifugin and triterpene glycosides.
The triterpine glycosides, particularly 27 deoxyacetin and acetin, are the chemicals used to standardize the most effective preparations used in published clinical trials. It is approved by the German Comission E monographs for the following applications: complaints of premenstrual, dysmenorrhoeic, or climacteric origin.
In one randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled comparative clinical trial, 80 women with climacteric symptoms received a standardized preparation of Black Cohosh, conjugated estrogens (.625 mg/day) or placebo for 12 weeks. At the end of the treatments patients receiving Black Cohosh had improved compared to both placebo and estrogen. Both physical (measured by the Kupperman index) and psychological (measured by the Hamilton Anxiety Scale) symptoms were significantly improved. More research is needed to fully understand the exact mechanism of activity.*
