Black Cohosh Extract

Black cohosh extract is made from the roots and rhizomes of the black cohosh plant, which is native to North America. It contains several active compounds, including triterpene glycosides and isoflavones, which are believed to have estrogen-like effects on the body and help to reduce menopausal symptoms.

Black cohosh extract is available in various forms, including capsules, tablets, and liquid extracts. It is generally considered safe when used as directed, but it may cause side effects such as stomach upset, headache, and dizziness in some people. It may also interact with certain medications, so it’s important to talk to a healthcare provider before using black cohosh extract if you are taking any medications or have any underlying health conditions.

As with any herbal supplement, it’s important to use black cohosh extract as directed and to follow manufacturer instructions. If you experience any adverse effects, discontinue use and talk to a healthcare provider.
