Menotab is indicated for:
Pharmacology
Red clover isoflavones are natural plant compounds with a chemical structure close to that of steroidal estrogens. They mimic the body's own estrogen, and because of this they interact with the human estrogen receptor.
Red clover isoflavones preferentially activate the beta estrogen receptors, which are found in the brain, bones and cardiovascular system. In the alpha estrogen receptors found in breast and uterine tissue, they show very little activity.
