I took black cohosh for a few years in my 50's and never had a hot flash or any other menopausal symptoms.
Yes, black cohosh worked within 4 days but the only issue for me was I only four weeks of relief from this supplement & went right back to the hot flashes. I haven't found any miracle vitamins to help more than a few weeks out to 2 months relief..
I can not go on hormone replacement because the cancer risk is way too high for me.
When I was young (I'm 70 now) and going through hot flashes, a kind neighbor told me to try black cohosh, I got some capsules at the store and took one each morning... I never suffered hot flashes or night sweats again. I hope this works well for you as it did for me.
