" black cohosh is an herbal supplement that has been used mostly in europe. It is linked to a few cases of liver damage in the states and quite a few in europe so do be careful. it is reccomended to have liver function tests if you use it. It can be bought in health food stores. It is also the main ingredient in estroven and remifemin which can be bought in most drug stores. "
