Product Overview
Black cohosh (Actaea racemosa, formerly Cimicifuga racemosa) is a perennial flowering plant indigenous to the woodlands of eastern North America. Traditionally valued for its medicinal properties, this botanical treasure has been used for centuries to support women’s health.
Black Cohosh Extract Powder is derived from the dried rhizomes of the plant and standardized to contain 2.5% triterpenoid glycosides, the key bioactive compounds responsible for its therapeutic benefits. This fine brown powder offers a concentrated form of the herb’s natural healing properties.
Renowned for its antibacterial, antihypertensive, and cardioprotective effects, black cohosh extract helps modulate heart rate, promote relaxation, and alleviate discomfort associated with arthritis and bone density loss. Additionally, it is widely recognized for its ability to ease menopausal symptoms, providing relief from hot flashes, mood swings, and sleep disturbances.
