Black Cohosh (Actaea racemosa) has a long history of use in Western herbal medicine, first valued by Indigenous North American healers. For centuries it has been chosen to ease menstrual pain, reduce cramping, and relieve discomfort linked with menopause. It gained a reputation for helping women manage hot flushes, night sweats, and body tension during key stages of hormonal change.
Traditionally, Black Cohosh was also used to calm headaches, relax muscle tightness through the back and womb, and improve sleep disturbed by menopausal symptoms. Herbalists often selected it to support women experiencing irritability, low mood, or restlessness tied to hormonal cycles. Its wide range of applications made it a trusted herb for maintaining comfort and reducing the intensity of menstrual and menopausal symptoms throughout a woman’s reproductive life.
Energetic qualities: In Western herbal traditions, Black Cohosh is considered cooling and moistening. It is often chosen where there is heat with hot flushes, restlessness linked with poor sleep, muscle tightness or uterine cramping, or tiredness combined with body aches. Among Indigenous North American healers, Black Cohosh was also valued for easing childbirth, soothing joint and muscle discomfort, and supporting women’s cycles. These diverse traditions explain why it has remained a trusted herb for women across different phases of reproductive life.
NatroVital Black Cohosh delivers this time-honoured herb in a pure, alcohol-free liquid extract. Using only vegetable glycerine and purified Grander water, it offers a clean, easy-to-take form that fits effortlessly into daily wellness routines—ideal for those seeking the traditional benefits of Black Cohosh without alcohol or unnecessary additives.

How NatroVital Black Cohosh is Made
We start with a pharmaceutical-grade alcohol extraction to draw out the full spectrum of active compounds from the raw herb. This time-honoured method allows us to capture the complete phytochemical profile needed for a potent extract.
Once the extraction is complete, the alcohol is carefully removed under vacuum at low temperatures to protect the herb’s natural integrity. The resulting concentrate is then blended with vegetable glycerine and purified Grander water, creating a gentle, high-quality tonic with no residual alcohol.
Unlike capsules, tablets, or powders that require breakdown in the digestive tract, herbal tonics deliver their compounds in a liquid form that’s ready for absorption. With no synthetic binders, fillers, additives, or flavours, these extracts begin working from the moment they reach your mouth.
Locally Made with Integrity: Every bottle of NatroVital Black Cohosh is proudly produced in our Australian facility. As a small, independently owned business, we’re committed to local craftsmanship, ingredient purity, and formulas made with genuine care.

- ▼What is the recommended dosage of NatroVital Black Cohosh?
- The therapeutic adult dose of Black Cohosh is 4mL per day, ideally split into two equal doses — morning and night. One mL equals approximately 20 drops. For best results, add the measured dose to a small amount of water or juice, drink immediately, and then swirl the glass to ensure any remaining liquid is also consumed.

- ▼Why choose NatroVital over other supplement brands?
-
NatroVital is a proudly Australian-owned and operated business, founded by Greg Newson — a qualified naturopath, herbalist, and nutritionist with over 20 years of clinical experience. Our range was created out of frustration with the supplement industry, where too many products were filled with synthetic binders, fillers, flavours, and unnecessary additives that often compromise quality and efficacy.
At NatroVital, we believe that what’s left out is just as important as what goes in. That’s why every product we create, including Black Cohosh, is formulated without alcohol, synthetic additives, binders, fillers, or artificial preservatives. Instead, we use clean, functional ingredients that deliver nutritional support without compromise.
All NatroVital products are developed and produced in small batches at our own facility here in Australia. We're a family-run business committed to creating honest, effective, and practitioner-formulated supplements you can trust.

- ▼Is NatroVital Black Cohosh a therapeutic medicine?
-
NatroVital Black Cohosh is a practitioner-formulated herbal supplement made from Actaea racemosa, a herb traditionally valued in Western herbal medicine for supporting women’s health during menstruation and menopause. It is not listed with the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any medical condition.
In Australia, only products listed or registered with the TGA are permitted to make therapeutic claims. Instead, we share the recognised traditional uses of Black Cohosh in promoting female health and comfort. If you’re unsure whether this supplement is right for you, please speak with your healthcare provider.
- ▼Why isn’t NatroVital Black Cohosh listed with the TGA?
-
We’ve chosen not to list NatroVital Black Cohosh with the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) so we can speak more openly about its recognised traditional uses in supporting women’s health. TGA listing requires strict language restrictions, significant regulatory costs, and licensed manufacturing — factors that can reduce flexibility and increase product pricing.
By remaining AustL-exempt, we’re able to formulate and produce in small batches, maintain affordable pricing, and stay true to our commitment to clean, transparent, practitioner-designed supplements.
At NatroVital, we believe supplements should work with your body, not against it. That’s why every product we create is grounded in clinical experience, made with care, and designed to support your health simply and effectively.
