Nesselhut, T.; Liske, E. 1999. Pharmacological measures in<br />
postmenopausal women with an isopropanolic aqueous extract of<br />
Cimicifuga racemosa rhizoma [Abstract]. Menopause. 6(4): 331.<br />
Evaluates the effects of a high dose of black cohosh (136 mg/day) on<br />
28 postmenopausal patients for 98 days. No changes were observed in<br />
endometrial thickness or vaginal cells, though 80 percent of patients<br />
reported an improvement in symptoms after therapy. The authors concluded<br />
that black cohosh acted as a phyto-selective estrogen receptor modulator<br />
with a non-estrogenic effect.<br />
