Red Clover [Trifolium Pratense]

Red Clover extracts act as an estrogen agonist by binding to intracellular estradiol receptors. The extract was described as an antiprogestin, because it inhibits progesterone's induction of alkaline phosphate, which is an end product of progestin activity. Red Clover increases uterine weight and decreases cervical mucus viscoelasticity.

Red Clover (Trifolium pratense) is a herbal extract that is high in isoflavones, which are natural plant estrogens. These isoflavones mimic the action of estrogens, and many women use them to maintain their health and vitality, especially around menopause. Red Clover contains 4 key isoflavones (Genistein, Daidzein, Biochanin A and Formonoetin). They help balance female hormones by mimicking the effects of estrogens in the body, and this in turn helps support women during menopause. Unlike traditional hormone therapy (HRT), these natural plant estrogens prefer to bond with beta estrogen receptors and show no affinity to bond with alpha estrogen receptors.
