A Swiss research group at the University of Basel recently reported their results of studies designed to investigate liver toxicity by black cohosh. Their publication in the October 12, 2007 issue of Cellular Molecular Life Sciences described the results of their studies in rats, and led them to conclude: "The results are compatible with idiosyncratic hepatotoxicity as observed in patients treated with Cimucifuga extracts." The abstract of this paper is available on PubMed as PMID 17928951.
