Furanochromone dosage (as cimifugin)

Cimifugin is a furanochromone naturally present in Cimicifuga racemosa, also known as black cohosh. Long used in herbal medicine, this molecule is primarily sought after for its potential effects on women's health, particularly during menopause. It is one of the key analytical markers for ensuring the quality and traceability of Cimicifuga extracts.

Why dose cimifugin?

The dosage of furanochromone (cimifugin) is essential for:

• Standardize Cimicifuga racemosa extracts used in nutraceuticals or phytotherapy,
• Check the content of active ingredients in food supplements dedicated to hormonal regulation,
• Ensure regulatory compliance of marketed herbal products,
• Validate functional claims related to female comfort.

The presence and concentration of cimifugin in the extracts guarantee reproducible efficacy, while controlling the risks linked to natural variability.

Analytical methods: precision and reliability

The dosage of cimifugin is based on reference methods recognized in the phytopharmaceutical analysis sector:

HPLC (High Performance Liquid Chromatography)

Used for precise quantification in plant matrices, this method relies on chromatographic separation followed by UV or DAD detection.

LC-MS / LC-MS-MS (Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry)

Recommended for complex matrices or low contents, this method allows specific identification and high sensitivity detection.

Matrices involved in the cimifugin dosage

• Standardized dry extracts of Cimicifuga racemosa,
• Vegetable powders or capsules containing botanical extracts,
• Food supplements for hormonal or female well-being purposes,
• Phytotherapeutic products formulated with black cohosh.

Areas of application

• Nutraceuticals: formulation and quality control of supplements for menopause;
• Medicinal plants: evaluation of the active ingredients present in the extracts;
• Natural extracts industry: standardization of raw materials;
• Clinical or toxicological research: studies on efficacy or safety of use.

Recommended additional analyses (internal links)

You can complete the quality control of your plant extracts with:

• Dosage of biochanin A – Isoflavone with phytoestrogenic effects;
• Dosage of daidzein – Isoflavone present in soy, widely studied for hormonal health;
• Dosage of diosmetin – Flavone with vasoprotective properties;
• Glabridin dosage – Lightening active ingredient used in cosmetics and nutraceuticals.
