Black cohosh works largely through thesynergistic activity of two types of compounds:phytoestrogens and triterpenes. Phytoestrogens, a class offlavonoids with mild estrogenic activity in the body, appear tohave normalizing effects on hormonal levels. In particular,black cohosh extract contains formononetin, an isoflavonephytoestrogen. Triterpene glycosides found in black cohoshextract act synergistically with formononetin to suppressexcessive secretion of luteinizing hormone (LH). Suddenincreases in LH secretion, which occur in response todeclining estrogen levels, appear largely responsible for manyproblems, such as hot flashes, night sweats, insomnia,irritability, heart palpitations, and headaches. Additionally,the concerted activity of formononetin and triterpenes appearsto aid in the regulation of estrogen balance. As with otherestrogenic compounds, the active constituents in black cohoshextract may also have beneficial effects on the cardiovascularand skeletal systems of postmenopausal women. As such,black cohosh, as well as other herbs found in the proprietaryblend offers a safe and natural method of balancing hormonelevels and easing the uncomfortable problems women mayencounter.Ipriflavone, derived from naturally occurring isoflavones,promotes bone density by inhibiting bone resorption.
