Tried
Black Cohosh helped somewhat with my embarrassing flushing episodes — hot flashes reduced a bit, though my mood was still up and down. I may try increasing the dose.

Tried
I started Black Cohosh after dealing with hot flashes disrupting sleep for months. By week 4 I noticed my mood stabilised. At 6 weeks, my quality of life improved dramatically. Very happy with the results so far.

Tried
I tried black cohosh because I wasn't ready for HRT. After 3 months the hot flashes had barely changed — maybe slightly less frequent but still 6-7 per day and very disruptive at night. I also had persistent stomach cramps and occasional headaches. I've now accepted I need to discuss HRT with my GP as the supplements aren't managing my symptoms.
