Black Cohosh - Active Components

The key constituents of black cohosh are isoflavonoids and triterpene glycosides, such as actein and cimicifugoside.

  • One product, Remifemin™ Enzymatic Therapy, is an extract of black cohosh that has been standardized for the triterpene glycosides content, which is calculated as 27-deoxyactein.
  • At least one black cohosh flavonoid, formononetin, has been reported to possess hormonal activity (Jarry et al 1995; Schulz 1998).
