Oregon's Wild Harvest Black Cohosh Support-Review
Product Claims of Oregon’s Wild Harvest Black Cohosh Support for Menopausal Symptoms
The focus of this product review is for a product called Black Cohosh Support for Menopausal Symptoms. This product offers support for the symptoms associated with menopause including 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 manufacturer of this product claims that this supplement may also be beneficial to women who are premenopausal.
Ingredients
- Organic Black Cohosh Root (Cimicifuga racemosa) - 300mg
- 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. There are some lacking ingredients from this supplement that can help menopause symptoms including Protykin, manganese, and B vitamins. We found a possible concerning side effect of Black Cohosh Root relating to breast cancer. Women who have breast cancer or who have had breast cancer in the past, and women at high-risk for breast cancer, should avoid black cohosh.

Summary Of Our Black Cohosh Support for Menopausal Symptoms Review
We were encouraged by several aspects of Black Cohosh Support for Menopausal Symptoms. The supplement is non GMO, certified organic, and its capsules are vegetarian so suitable for vegetarians and vegans. We also liked that it is free from fillers, stearates, and binders. It is free from dairy, wheat, gluten, peanuts, soy, or corn allergens. Also there is no animal testing nor by-products, artificial flavors or colors. Pricewise, this supplement is good value for money at $16.95 for a six weeks' supply. We also liked that there is free shipping when spending over $50. The supplement was let down in several areas however. There is no manufacturer's guarantee nor return policy for this product. There are no bulk buying discounts, nor new customer incentives offered by the manufacturer. We were concerned by the number of warnings that the manufacturer included with this supplement including a worrying warning that states that you should not take this supplement if you suffer from an estrogen-dependent breast cancer. We suggest that you look elsewhere for a menopause supplement, ideally for one that is backed by a strong return policy and guarantee which also has a bulk buying discount, with fewer possible side effects.
