                        All About Red Clover

                        Red Clover is useful as an herb for menopausal symptoms such as hot flashes, bone loss, and vaginal composition. Its isoflavones influence estrogen production. It also shows a potential cholesterol lowering effect.

                        Red Clover Research

                        A few dozen research articles were found, most clinical human studies. Red clover has an estrogenic effect that may help with menopausal symptoms, bone loss, cholesterol levels, prostate growth, and more. It has also shown potential in reducing alopecia and mastalgia (tender breasts). In vitro studies show potential for its anti-cancer, anti-mutagenic, chemo-preventative actions. It may also be a useful ingredient in sunscreen. More research is necessary. Click the button below for a detailed review of research.
