Has anyone else had serious restless leg problems while taking a dietary supplement with Black Cohosh in it?
(I started taking a dietary supplement containing 40mg of Black Cohost extract to help with my hot flashes) . . . however,
I have been experiencing serious restless leg symptoms ever since I started taking it a couple weeks ago. I have even tried taking it at different times, but the results is always the same. I can take a capsule in the morning, suffer restless leg symptoms most of the night, and still have lingering restless leg symptoms most of the next day.
It may just be a coincidence to have the restless legs symptoms at the time you started taking the Black Cohosh as I haven't heard of this being a side effect of the herb.
I would continue taking the Black Cohosh for now and try something to help with the restless legs. I have heard that Coral Calcium is really good or alternatively try a magnesium/calcium combination tablet from any health store, such as dolomite or a proprietary formula/blend that is more easily absorbed such as a citrate blend. This should be in a ratio of 2:1 calcium:magnesium, such as 500mg calcium and 250mg magnesium. It is the magnesium in particular that helps with any muscular tension and spasms,but it is always best taken in combination with calcium. Take one after your evening meal.
If you don't have any success with the Black Cohosh after taking for 3-4 months then try Sage leaf capsules (Salvia officinalis). These can also help alleviate any sweating.
I would also seriously recommend taking 400iu of Vitamin E as this can preserve any hormone you do produce and in so doing should help counteract any flushes. If you are still pretty much perimenopausal as opposed to full-blown menopausal then the herb Agnus castus could help by improving your natural regulation of hormones. Basically, there are a few alternatives to Black Cohosh if that doesn't help. But you do have to try a herb for a few months to see any real effect.
Others include: Red Clover blossoms, Dong quai (Angelica sinensis), Licorice extract (not if you have high blood pressure though), and Soya isoflavones (not if you are hypothyroid/borderline hypothyroid though). All beans and pulses increase the amount of isoflavones available in the diet and can help with menopausal symptoms in theory.
Hope this helps.
Best wishes.
