Extracts of Black cohosh (Cimicifuga racemosa or CR) have been used for the treatment of climacteric complaints since decades. Efficacy, particularly concerning neurovegetative and psychic symptoms, has been proven in clinical trials. As active principle yet unknown substances with selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM) activity are assumed. Recently, evidence arose that CR may also contain dopaminergic compounds, which may contribute to the therapeutic activity of the extract.
