Moderate Evidence

Evidence Summary

Black cohosh root is a plant extract long used to ease menopause-related symptoms like hot flashes, mood changes, and discomfort. Clinical trials show it can meaningfully reduce these symptoms compared to placebo, particularly in women in the early stages of menopause or those with moderate-to-severe symptom burden. Studies used 40 mg daily for 12 weeks, with effect sizes comparable to some hormone replacement therapy results.
