What is in Black Cohosh Root Powder?
Each row as the label prints it, per serving of 0.25 tsp. The capsule beside an amount places it among every product in the NIH database that lists the same ingredient: the bar is the middle half of their amounts, the line in it the median, the whiskers the 10th and 90th percentiles; the green tick is the FDA Daily Value and the red dashed tick the adult upper limit (IOM).

|---|---|---|---|
| Black Cohosh powder | 1,000 mg | Higher than 98% of 431 products listing black cohosh (median 80 mg). Per day at the most servings: 3,000 mg. |

Is that a lot?
The rows in the top or bottom tenth of the products that list the same ingredient, and any above the adult upper limit at the most servings a day the directions give:
- Its 1,000 mg of black cohosh is higher than 98% of the 431 black cohosh products that print an amount; 4 list more.
The NIH database records 3 servings a day from the label's directions; its % Daily Values are for adults and children 4 or more years of age. The directions as printed are further down this page.
