Black Cohosh - Natural Menopause Relief
Black Cohosh is the non-synthetic answer that assists in providing menopausal relief.** It helps to support the unique physiology of a woman, especially during times of occasional stress, and is well-known for supporting female health around the time of menopause.** Black Cohosh is an herb that is native to eastern North America, where it was widely used by Native American tribes.
Studies document that Black Cohoshcan help support the physical and emotional changes that occur in a woman’s body over time, including occasional sleeplessness and the day-to-day anxiety associated with menopause.** It also has a supportive influence on the mood changes that may accompany the menopausal years, promotes a positive outlook, and helps alleviate hot flashes and night sweats.**
Black Cohosh - Women’s Studies
A study of perimenopausal and postmenopausal women found that both 39 mg or 127 mg per day dosages of Black Cohosh were effective for helping to relieve symptoms associated with menopause.1 In a second four-week study, 21 women given a Black Cohosh preparation for four weeks reported a daily reduction in the number of hot flashes by 50%.2 Reductions were also reported for fatigue, sweating and occasional sleeplessness.
