Naturally. back to top About menopause Menopause is a natural occurrence which indicates the end of a woman’s ability to reproduce. During this process, the ovaries stop producing oestrogen and progesterone, however small amounts of oestrogen are still made by her breasts and fat tissue. As a result of the low level of oestrogen, ovulation stops and menstruation gradually ceases, usually between the ages of 45 and 55. The process leading towards menopause can take up to five years. back to top About black cohosh Black Cohosh, a member of the buttercup family, is a perennial plant that is native to North America.

Today, the root and rhizome of black cohosh are still often used for these purposes. Black Cohosh, on which a number of studies have been carried out, is one of the largest selling herbal supplements used in the United States for reducing symptoms associated with menopause.
