Black Cohosh Extract Triterpene Glycosides powder

Brief Introduction

Black cohosh (cimicifuga racemosa) is a tall perennial plant in the buttercup family which grows in eastern and central areas of United States. Black cohosh was used by Native Americans as a traditional folk remedy for womens' health conditions, such as menstrual cramps, hot flashes, arthritis, muscle pain, sore throat, cough and indigestion. The juice of this plant was used as an insect repellent and was made into a salve and applied to snake bites.

Today, black cohosh is primarily used as a nutritional supplement for hot flashes, mood swings, night sweats, vaginal dryness and other symptoms which can occur during menopause, as well as for menstrual cramps and bloating.

The parts of this plant used medicinally are the fresh or dried roots and rhizomes (underground stems), which are available in health food stores, some drug stores and online in tea, capsule, tablet or liquid extract forms. The active compound is believed to be 26-deoxyactein.
