Black cohosh a gentle and natural alternative to
hormone substitution
The end for the classical hormone therapy?
A study of the Women‘s Health Initiative (WHI) with 16,609
women was abandoned prematurely due to a bad
benefit/risk proportion!

The end for the classical hormone therapy?
The probands took in daily, for on average 5.2 years, a
combination preparation of conjugated estrogen (0.625
mg) and medroxyprogesterone-acetate (2.5 mg/d)
compared to placebo:
- thromboembolisms + 100%
- cerebral apoplexy + 41%
- risk of breast cancer + 26%
- myocardial infarcts + 29%
- hip fractures (osteoporosis) - 33%
- colon cancer - 37%

Botany
Cimicifuga racemosa (L.) Nuttal
Family:
Ranunculaceae
(crowfoot plants).
Synonyms:
Black snake root, Bugbane, Rattleroot,
Squaw root
Origin:
Eastern and central part of North America,
Canada, Europe, moderate to arctic parts
of Asia.
Botany
Cimicifuga racemosa (L.) Nuttal
Medicinal drug: Black cohosh rootstock,
Cimicifugae rhizoma.
After the fruits have become ripe
in autumn, the rhizome is collected,
dried and cut up.
The fresh or dried rootstock
with attached roots is used for
production of the extract.
Brief profile - Black cohosh

The enduring plant can reach a height of up to 2 m.

The upright stems have big, multiple-feathered leaves
with deep-sawed small leaves.

The small white blossoms build long narrow clusters.

The originating fruits are ovoid capsules which
contain numerous flat seeds.

The rootstock which is used for extraction of the drug
is dense and branched.


triterpene glycosides (actein, cimicifugoside)
isoflavonoids

The drug basically contains
triterpene glycosides of the
type cycloartenol, e.g.
actein and cimicifugoside.

Therapeutic principle: Total extract
The estrogen-like ingredients attack in mesolimbic
and hypothalamic structures:

selective reduction of the LH-secretion

no influence on the FSH- and prolactin level

contains phyto-SERMs
(selective estrogen receptor modulators)

without undesired effects on uterus, mamma

reduction of the osteoporosis and arteriosclerosis risk

no undesired effects on the endometrium

estrogen-like effect
Therapeutic principle

LH-suppression (suppression of the hypothalamic
LHRH pulse generator)

binding to estrogen receptors
(competitively to estradiol)

stabilisation of neurovegetative symptoms
(effect on the vasomotor centre, balance vagus symphaticus)
Therapeutic principle
Hormonal circuit of regulation
at normal production
