Remifemin
Nature's Way
Overview
Remifemin contains a specific black cohosh extract called RemiSure, intended to alleviate menopausal symptoms. While some studies suggest black cohosh may offer benefits, broader clinical evidence supporting black cohosh's efficacy is mixed. Specifically, studies have shown no significant differences between black cohosh and placebo for reducing hot flashes or menopausal symptom scores, indicating that this product, while well-studied in its own right, may not provide significant benefit over placebo. The marketed benefits for menopause symptom relief need to be taken with caution due to the broader research about Black Cohosh.
