Black Cohosh Extract is a botanical supplement derived from the root and rhizome of Actaea racemosa (formerly Cimicifuga racemosa), a perennial plant native to North America. Traditionally used by Native American tribes, it has long been valued for its ability to support women’s health, especially during hormonal transitions like menopause. The extract is typically standardized to contain key active compounds such as triterpene glycosides (e.g., actein and cimicifugoside), which are believed to be responsible for its physiological effects.
