● What is Black Cohosh Extract ?
Black cohosh extract is derived from the perennial herb black cohosh (scientific name: Cimicifuga racemosa or Actaea racemosa). Its rhizomes are dried, crushed, and then extracted with ethanol. It is a brown-black powder with a special smell. Black cohosh is native to North America, and Native Americans used it to relieve menstrual pain and menopausal symptoms as early as two centuries ago. Modern research shows that the content of active ingredients in its rhizomes far exceeds that of other parts, making it a star raw material in the field of natural herbal medicine.
Our company continues to make breakthroughs in raw material preparation technology, such as using low-temperature extraction technology and HPLC detection methods to ensure that the content of triterpenoid saponins in the extract is stable at 2.5%, 5% or 8%, etc., meeting international quality standards.
The core active ingredients of black cohosh extract are triterpenoid saponin compounds, including:
Actein, Epi-Actein And 27-Deoxyactein: have estrogen-like effects and can regulate endocrine balance.
Cimicifugoside: assists in anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidation, reduces cell damage.
Flavonoids And Terpene Glycosides: synergistically enhance immune regulation and antibacterial effects.
Studies have shown that extracts with a triterpenoid saponin content of more than 2.5% can significantly exert pharmacological activity, and high-purity products (such as 8%) are more suitable for pharmaceutical-grade preparations.
