Nature's Way Black Cohosh extract is standardized to 2.5% Triterpene Glycosides. Black Cohosh is the most popular herbal supplement in Europe for women experiencing change-of-life(perimenopause) symptoms. Black Cohosh provides isoflavones and other constituents that help support a woman's health during this phase of her life. The active constituents in black cohosh, that are reported to provide its medicinal value, include triterpene glycosides (e.g. acetin and deoxyactein) and isoflavones. Additional ingredients that may lend to its medicinal value include aromatic acids, resins, fatty acids, tannins, starches and sugars.As a woman reaches menopause estrogen production decreases while luteinizing hormone (LH) secretions increase. The result often is intense hot flashed. Studies suggest that black cohosh has some estrogen regulating ability and may also decrease LH secretions whereby dampening the severity of hot flashes associated with menopause.
