Can I take Black cohosh and Vitamin D together?

Por que isso acontece

Black cohosh and vitamin D are processed by the body through different pathways. Black cohosh is primarily broken down by liver enzymes, while vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin that undergoes a different metabolic process involving the liver and kidneys to become active. They do not interfere with each other's absorption or effectiveness.

You can continue taking both supplements as directed. However, always inform your doctor or pharmacist about all supplements you are taking, especially if you have a history of liver problems, as black cohosh has been rarely linked to liver issues.

Gravidez

Do not use black cohosh during pregnancy. It may stimulate uterine contractions, potentially increasing the risk of miscarriage or premature labour.

Doença hepática

Black cohosh has been linked to rare but serious cases of liver failure. You must stop taking it and see a doctor immediately if you develop yellowing of the skin or eyes, dark urine, or severe stomach pain.

Hormone-sensitive conditions (e.g. breast cancer)

Because black cohosh may act like the hormone oestrogen, you should not use it if you have a history of breast cancer, uterine cancer, or endometriosis without specialist medical supervision.

Álcool

Black cohosh has been linked to rare but serious cases of liver damage. Because alcohol also puts strain on the liver, it is advisable to limit or avoid alcohol consumption while taking this supplement to reduce the risk of liver toxicity.

High-fat meals

Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin. Taking it with a meal that contains healthy fats (such as avocado, nuts, or olive oil) significantly improves how well your body absorbs the supplement.
