Worth knowing

Black cohosh has been linked in published case reports to liver injury, ranging from mild to severe; the EU has required a liver-injury warning on these products since 2012. Stop use and seek medical care if you notice yellowing of the skin or eyes (jaundice), dark urine, or upper-right abdominal pain, and talk with a clinician before use.
