A clinical trial1 studied the effects of A.Vogel Menopause Feminine (sage extract) for the relief of hot flashes in menopausal women. During 8 weeks, women taking either the extract or a placebo kept a personal diary of their symptoms. It was determined that:
75% of women rated their overall condition as “better” or “much better” compared to 47% in the placebo group.
After 8 weeks women experienced 56.3% less hot flashes on average, compared to an increase of 4.8% in the placebo group.
