Black cohosh (Cimicifuga) – Black cohosh plants are perennials notable for their tall flower spikes. In traditional herbal lore, it is mainly the underground parts of the plant that are used.
Its natural ingredients include different compounds depending on the raw material. The species contain triterpene glycosides, among other things. For a specific formula, the botanical species name is important, as plants with similar names are not necessarily identical.
Plant ingredients form during growth and can change depending on climate, location, harvest time and processing. The botanical name, the part of the plant used and the extract form are therefore more meaningful than a general plant name alone.
A look at the raw material form used reveals further special features. The product is ideal for women who are consciously looking into plant-based supplements and traditionally used plant substances at this stage of life.
