Black cohosh does not produce estrogen. Instead, it is believed to exert its effects through phytoestrogens, which are plant compounds that can mimic estrogen in the body. This makes it popular for alleviating menopausal symptoms, though its exact mechanisms are not fully understood. Always consult with a healthcare professional before using it for hormonal issues.
