Hale Center Clinical Pharmacy – Black Cohosh Plus 40 mg Standardized Extract with Dong Quai

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 overthe-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.
SUGGESTED USE
Adults take 1 capsule, 4 times daily with meals or as
directed by a healthcare professional.
