Red Clover

Red Clover Extract (Trifolium pratense)

Red Clover has a long history of use in traditional Western herbal medicine and is one of the richest plant sources of isoflavones — a class of naturally occurring phytoestrogens. Red Clover isoflavones have been the subject of extensive scientific research, particularly in the context of women’s hormonal wellness.

This extract is prepared in 60% alcohol to capture the full spectrum of naturally occurring isoflavones, flavonoids, and other phytochemicals present in the flower and leaf.

Traditional Herbal Use

Women’s Hormonal Wellness

Red Clover is one of the most widely used herbs in Western herbal medicine for women’s hormonal wellness, particularly during the menopausal transition. Its isoflavone content gives it phytoestrogenic properties — meaning the compounds can interact with oestrogen receptors in the body. It has a long traditional history of use to support hormonal balance and general wellbeing in women.

Cardiovascular & Circulatory Wellness

Red Clover has a traditional history of use in herbal practice to support cardiovascular and circulatory health. Its isoflavone and flavonoid content has made it a common inclusion in herbal formulas for heart and circulatory wellness.

Skin, Hair & Connective Tissue

Red Clover is traditionally used in herbal practice to support skin vitality, hair health, and connective tissue. Its phytoestrogen content is considered relevant to collagen-related wellness in traditional herbal systems.

Lymphatic & Detox Support

Red Clover has a long traditional history of use as a lymphatic herb and mild alterative — a class of herbs traditionally used to support the body’s natural cleansing and elimination processes. It is a classic ingredient in traditional herbal detox and blood-cleansing formulas.

How to Use

Take 20–30 drops under the tongue or in a little juice or water, up to 2–3 times daily, or as directed by your healthcare practitioner.

Precautions

Not recommended for long-term use without practitioner guidance. Consult your healthcare practitioner if you have a hormone-sensitive condition, are taking hormone therapies, or have a history of oestrogen-sensitive conditions.
