It has a very similar make up to saw palmetto, but is more stake in the raw herb form so it doesn't need any binders. This makes it gram for gram more effective in the long run.
Hi Etna,
How much black cohosh do you currently take?
50 mg early
50 mg mid day
100 mg before bed
Always with PM
You'd have see these posts here regarding black cohosh,

It probably doesn't get much fanfare because of those reports, regardless, the liver needs to be up to snuff to handle NBE in general. I had BC early in my starting program and stopped because I didn't think it was helping, It does shift the balance towards E1, which in the long run is the estrogen that is more protective against breast cancer.
Quote:I had originally stayed away from BC because of its weak estrogen like effects ( i did not want it to compete with my PM ) but, If I read into it a little more : In men, LH is also produced in the pituitary gland. LH binds to receptors in certain cells in the testes called Leydig cells. This leads to the release of testosterone, a hormone that is necessary for producing sperm cells. So I would think the BC is shutting the tests down, by suppressing the LH.
