The evidence in words
How much to take
Standardized extract (e.g., ~40 mg) daily; reassess after a couple of months.
Timing & separation
There are no strict timing conflicts on record for Black Cohosh; consistency matters more than the exact hour for most goals.
Why the dose is what it is
Non-estrogenic; proposed serotonergic and other central actions on thermoregulation.
Bottom line
Might help hot flashes, might not — the evidence can't decide. Worth a monitored trial; stop at any sign of liver trouble.
How it is used
As the entry records it, from the studies it summarises. Not a recommendation for you — doses that suit a trial population may not suit you.
