Indications / UsesBlack Cohosh, an herb with a long history of use in
Native American cultures for gynecological
disorders, is currently used throughout Europe for its
phytoestrogenic and hormone moderating properties.
Estrogen levels decline during menopause. This
initiates numerous physiological changes commonly
associated with menopause, including hot flashes,
insomnia, and depression. Traditional therapies, such
as hormone replacement therapy (HRT), offer relief
from symptoms of menopause; yet, as HRT is
associated with its own side effects and certain
increased health risks, many women are investigating
alternative means of achieving hormonal balance
during menopause.
Black Cohosh extract is quickly gaining popularity as
a natural way to moderate and balance hormone levels.
The active constituents of Black Cohosh appear to
regulate estrogen levels, thereby normalizing hormonal
balance and moderating the symptoms that accompany
fluctuating hormone levels.
Black cohosh extract works largely through the
synergistic activity of two types of compounds:
phytoestrogens and triterpenes. Phytoestrogens, a
class of flavonoids with mild estrogenic activity in
the body, appear to have normalizing effects on
hormonal levels. In particular, black cohosh extract
contains formononetin, an isoflavone phytoestrogen.
Triterpene glycosides found in black cohosh extract
act synergystically with formononetin to suppress
excessive secretion of luteinizing hormone (LH).
Sudden increases in LH secretion, which occur in
response to declining estrogen levels, appear largely
responsible for many symptoms associated with
menopause, such as hot flashes, night sweats.
