| Red clover is
thought to "purify" the blood by promoting
urine and mucous production, improving circulation, and
stimulating the secretion of bile. Red clover, a
wild plant used as grazing food for
cattle and other livestock, has also been
used medicinally to treat a wide array
of conditions. These have included cancer,
mastitis (inflammation of the breast), joint disorders,
jaundice, bronchitis, spasmodic coughing, asthma, and skin
inflammations, such as psoriasis and eczema. While not
all studies are thoroughly convincing, several studies
of a proprietary extract of red clover
isoflavones suggest that it may significantly reduce
hot flashes in menopausal women. Menopause
increases a woman's risk for developing osteoporosis
(significant bone loss). Some studies suggest
that a proprietary extract of red clover
isoflavones may slow bone loss and even
boost bone mineral density in pre- and
perimenopausal women. Menopause increases a woman's risk for
developing cardiovascular disease. Supplementation with red
clover isoflavones has been associated with a
sizeable increase in high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol,
or "good" cholesterol in pre- and postmenopausal
women, leading some researchers to believe that
these isoflavones may help protect against cardiovascular
disease. Other studies, however, have refuted
this finding. Interestingly, one recent study
found that menopausal women taking red clover
supplements experienced a significant improvement in arterial
compliance (a measure of the strength and
resilience of the arterial walls). Arterial
compliance diminishes during menopause and may increase
a woman's risk for heart disease.
Package Type: 1 oz
Warnings: The use of red clover is not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women. Women with a history of breast cancer should avoid red clover (some studies suggest that synthetic and/or natural estrogens may increase the risk of breast cancer). Red clover isoflavones should be used with caution, if at all, by people receiving hormone therapy (including birth control pills) containing estrogen, progesterone, androgen or any derivatives of these hormones.Because of the increased risk of bleeding associated with red clover, individuals taking blood-thinning medications (such as warfarin or aspirin) or blood-thinning herbs and supplements (such as ginkgo, ginger, garlic, and vitamin E) should avoid red clover.
