Black Cohosh Supreme

Black Cohosh (Actaea racemosa) has been used historically for various gynecological conditions for at least the last 500 years in North America and Europe. Also known as Cimicifuga racemosa, it is a perennial dicot of the Buttercup family native to the Eastern half North America. The roots and rhizomes are the parts of the plant used mostly for medicinal purposes. It is most well known for treating menopausal symptoms but also has been used for the following; endometritis, amenorrhea, dysmenorrhea, menorrhagia, sterility, spontaneous abortion prevention, post childbirth uterine subinvolution, severe after-birth pains, and to increase breast milk production. (1)Its main indication is as an alternative to postmenopausal estrogen therapy for symptoms such as hot flashes, depression, excessive sweating, sleep problems, etc.

To quote Lisa Ganora in Herbal Constituents “the triterpenoid saponins in Black Cohosh are not classical phytoestrogens; they do not bind to estrogen receptors… The use of Black Cohosh may be protective against breast cancer in humans although much remains to be understood.” It may even prolong survival rates as well as alleviate depression and anxiety in cancer patients. It has also shown strong anti-HIV activity (2)It has also proved an effective treatment for migraines that occur during menstruation (3)..Even though some estrogens might increase the risk of breast cancer and blood clots, black cohosh does not and may in fact have the opposite effect.Though lesser known for these, black cohosh can be quite effective for muscle and intercostal pain (5). Black cohosh has been historically considered one of the most effective herbs for the relief of neuralgic and rheumatic pains, so much so that a common name at one point was rheumatism weed.

Native Americans also used it for sore throat, headaches accompanying influenza, malaria (6).Some cases of tinnitus have also been helped. This is due to the fact that it directly inhibits vasomotor centers involved with inner ear balance and hearing .Other potential uses are anti-Alzheimer's, anti-inflammatory, anti-diabetic Antioxidant. It has shown anti-viral properties against coronavirus, hepatitis, enterovirus (7).

As with all our herbal products this is strictly a dried herb.  We avoid standardization so as not to use any chemicals in the process and to retain the God given rations in the plant. Beyond using a GMP facility and doing microbial and heavy metal testing (we do both) we also have it tested by practitioners using both applied kinesiology and energetic medicine to help select the batch of raw material with the greatest efficacy.

Black Cohosh Surpeme™ is packaged in a bottle of 90 veggie caps, each containing approximately 500 mg of Actaea racemose without fillers, binders or excipients.
