KadeKliman Hormone-free, herbal remedy for symptoms of the menopause
We all known that the menopause is simply a natural processes in any woman’s life. Nonetheless, this change is often accompanied by physical and psychological discomfort. Symptoms such as sudden hot flushes, night sweats, sleep disturbances and irritability are very common.
How KadeKliman relieves symptoms of the menopause
KadeKliman is a herbal remedy containing black cohosh (Cimicifuga racemosa) intended to support you during the menopause. Based on the latest scientific findings, experts assume that its effect is independent of hormones. The ingredients in Cimicifuga instead appear to act in the central nervous system. It is assumed that ingredients in cimicifuga rhizome extract have an effect on certain nerve cells, the dopamine-sensitive and serotonin-sensitive nerve cells in the brain, which is how cimifuga helps alleviate symptoms of the menopause.
Numerous scientific studies have now also confirmed its positive effects. Black cohosh extract is particularly effective at treating hot flushes and sweating*.
