Description

DESCRIPTION

Black cohosh is an herb that provides a natural way to

normalize hormonal changes and moderate the uncomfortable

changes that accompany menopause. Wellness Works Black

Cohosh Plus is made under strict European quality standards

which are comparable to over-the-counter drug standards

in the U.S. It provides optimal levels of naturally occurring

triterpene glycosides.

FUNCTIONS

Black cohosh has traditionally been used to help alleviate

perimenopausal and postmenopausal symptoms and the

German Commission E supports its use as such. The

mechanism of action is still unclear, but it is thought to

have an estrogen-like effect or modulate estrogen receptors.

Although more research is needed, black cohosh may help

support normal, healthy levels of luteinizing hormone (LH).

Increased LH levels, which is often the result of declining

estrogen levels, are typically responsible for the changes

associated with menopause. Studies showing a positive effect

for symptoms of perimenopause and postmenopause have

used primarily extracts standardized to contain triterpene

glycosides. Dong quai is added as it helps support a normal,

healthy response to female hormone imbalance. Chasteberry

helps support normal, healthy levels of LH and prolactin, and

is added to help provide support for symptoms associated with

menopause.

INDICATIONS

Black Cohosh Plus may be an effective way to help support

perimenopausal and postmenopausal women, particularly

those with intolerance or contraindications to traditional

hormone replacement therapy.
