Red Clover (Trifolium Pratense)

The menopause herb — hot flushes, hormonal balance, bone density, and cardiovascular health from the isoflavone-rich meadow flower.

Red clover (Trifolium pratense) is one of the most isoflavone-rich plants in nature — containing formononetin, biochanin A, daidzein, and genistein — the same phytoestrogens found in soy but in a more diverse and bioavailable profile. These isoflavones bind to oestrogen receptors, providing hormonal balance during perimenopause and menopause, reducing hot flushes, supporting bone density, and benefiting cardiovascular health. Clinically studied and widely used as a natural alternative to HRT for women navigating the menopausal transition.
