I went to a health supply store for all natural meds and such yesterday. I picked up some black cohosh because it was recommended to me for female problems as well as the fact over the past few months I've had darker discharge slowly happen more often. The one I got is European standardized as well as it has chasteberry and dong quai in it.

The pros of it seem worth it. The cons are it can potentially damage the liver, there has been no true safety study done on it for it to be accredited for american standardization, and this is leaving me to research.

It says to take it 4 times a day everyday, I took one last night and plan on starting out 2 a day because I'm smaller and have a higher metabolism.

I was wondering if anyone here has tried black cohosh or knows anyone who has. Also, the effects of dong quai and chasteberry on the body. Still doing research, but personal experience/knowledge would give me a better understanding/insight.

Hey! Sorry I didn't see this earlier.

Are you still taking this? How is it working for you?
