Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study compares the efficacy of a fixed combination of black cohosh (EP-40) and Rhodiola rosea (EPR-7) with low (6.5 mg) and high doses (500 mg) of a standardized black cohosh extract only in adult woman with menopausal complaints.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Due to the problems caused by Hormone Replacement Therapy with chemical entities, some medicinal plants used in the traditional systems of medicine have shown immense potential in non-hormonal treatment of menopausal symptoms without major adverse events. We hypothesize that Menopause Relief EP-40 (a fixed combination of Cimicifuga EP-40 and Rhodiola EPR-7 extracts) will significantly relieve menopausal complaints such as hot flushes, profuse sweating hot flushes, excessive perspiration, night sweats, sleep disorders, nervousness, mood swings, physical and mental fatigue as compared to EP-40® capsules or placebo in adult females in menopause.
