Black cohosh (Actaea racemosa) is a perennial plant from the buttercup family that naturally grows in the forests of eastern North America. The plant owes its name to the long, white flowering spikes that stand above the leaves like candles. Internationally, the plant is mainly known as black cohosh.
Cimicifuga racemosa is the older botanical name of black cohosh. After new botanical research, the plant was classified into the genus Actaea. Both names are still used, so you will find them both on packaging and in literature.
In this supplement, the root of the black cohosh is used. An extract is made from this, which is then standardised.
This means that the extract contains a fixed content of 2.5% triterpene glycosides, which comes down to 2 mg per capsule. The content is calculated as 27-deoxyactein, one of the triterpene glycosides used as a reference substance. This standardisation ensures the composition remains consistent per batch.
Triterpene glycosides are a group of natural plant substances that are naturally found in the root of black cohosh. They are used to identify and compare the content of black cohosh extracts.
Liquorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra) is a plant from the legume family that naturally grows in Southern Europe and Western Asia. The root has a sweet flavour and has been used for centuries in sweets such as liquorice and in herbal teas.
Dong quai (Angelica sinensis), also known as Chinese angelica, is a plant from the umbellifer family that occurs naturally in China. The root has been used for centuries in Asia, including in soups and traditional dishes.
