This review is for a product called Black Cohosh Support for Menopausal Symptoms. This product offers the consumer support with the uncomfortable symptoms that are often associated with going through the big change that is menopause. These symptoms include hot flashes, sweating, irritability, mood swings, decreased libido, and insomnia. Women who go through menopause also state that they notice a significant decrease in their cognitive functioning as well as their ability to concentrate. The manufacturers of this product claim that use of this dietary supplement cannot only reduce symptoms of menopause but it may also be beneficial to women who are premenopausal.
Ingredients
- Organic Black Cohosh Root (Cimicifuga racemosa)
- Organic Brown Rice Flour
- Pullulan Non-GMO vegetarian capsules
Black Cohosh Root is effective when used to treat menopause symptoms in women due to it being a natural source of triterpene glycosides. We are skeptical that this short list of ingredients can adequately address all of the varied symptoms associated with menopause including hot flashes, sleep issues, irregular periods, and more.

Conclusion of Our Black Cohosh Support for Menopausal Symptoms Review
There were several aspects of Black Cohosh Support for Menopausal Symptoms that we found encouraging. The supplement is non GMO, certified organic, and vegetarian. We also liked that it is free from excipients, stearates, and binders. It does not contain dairy, wheat, gluten, peanuts, soy, or corn allergens. Also there is no animal testing or by-products, artificial flavors or colors. Regarding the price, this supplement is good value for money at $16.95 for a six weeks’ supply.

The manufacturer does not state the best time of day to take the supplement nor who should take one capsule, or two capsules. There are no bulk buying discounts, nor new customer incentives offered by the manufacturer. The lack of a guarantee, or return policy is very disappointing. We were concerned by the number of warnings that the manufacturer included with this supplement. Lastly, we had a hard time finding a good selection of reviews for this supplement. Our recommendation is that you look elsewhere for a product that is backed by a strong return policy and guarantee and one that has a bulk buying discount.
