Red clover (Trifolium pratense ) is a wild herb that belongs to the legume family, along with beans and peas. 1 It’s often promoted as a remedy for menopause symptoms, bone loss, and high cholesterol. Red clover benefits may be due to plant chemicals called isoflavones, which may have some estrogen-like activity. BENEFITS Red Clover has become a popular herbal supplement to support issues caused by altered oestrogen levels, particularly during menopause. It may also be used to support cardiovascular health and other health conditions, as will be discussed further below. USE Red clover has most often been used by adults in doses of 40-80 mg by mouth daily for up to one year. Keep in mind that doses vary depending on the specific product used. Speak with a healthcare provider to find out what product and dose might be best for a specific condition.
