Black Cohosh Root 75g

Pharma Germania Natural Products Black Cohosh Root is a dried preparation of Cimicifuga racemosa (syn. Actaea racemosa), a North American botanical with a long history of traditional use.

Black Cohosh is particularly well known for its use in menopause-related herbal preparations. Modern clinical research has investigated Black Cohosh extracts for common menopausal symptoms, particularly hot flushes and night sweats, although results vary according to the preparation and extract studied.

Traditionally, the root has also been used for menstrual comfort, muscular and joint discomfort and general women’s wellness.

The supplied product information describes Black Cohosh as balancing female hormones. It is more accurate to describe it as supporting menopausal and women’s wellness, as Black Cohosh is not established as a conventional hormone replacement and its mechanisms are complex.

Why Choose Pharma Germania Black Cohosh Root?

Black Cohosh is one of the best-known botanicals used in menopause-support formulations.

The root has traditionally been used for women experiencing changes associated with menopause and has subsequently been investigated clinically for symptoms such as hot flushes and night sweats.

The product is supplied as dried root rather than a standardised extract. Results from studies involving specific standardised Black Cohosh extracts should therefore not automatically be assumed to apply to this preparation.

Key Ingredient
