Each European country has its own brand of black cohosh. The quality and quantity of the actual active ingredient varies from product to product. Not all of the above products work and not all of them have been evaluated. The only evidence for the majority of the black cohosh products are anecdotal reports by individual women and folklore tales from grandmas.
Is black cohosh same as blue cohosh?
No, one should not confuse black cohosh with blue cohosh, which contains chemicals that have been shown to damage the heart and even increase blood pressure. Further, do not confuse black cohosh with Cimicifuga fetid, bugbane, fairy candles, or sheen ma; these extracts of black cohosh are from the same family (Ranunculaceae) but have drastically with different effects.
