Red clover (Trifolium pratense) is a sweet, salty, and cooling herb, belonging to the legume (or pea) family and is known as a nutritional powerhouse and gentle plant medicine.

As a nutrituve, red clover is rich in minerals such as calcium and contains phytoestrogens that support healthy hormones, heart, and bones.

In herbal medicine it’s revered for its cleansing properties. Known as an alterative, “blood-purifier,” it is a good choice for helping the body detox. Alteratives are a class of herbs that work to gradually restore the proper function of the body. This helps to increase overall health and vitality. Simply put, alterative herbs help the body find homeostasis.

In traditional medicine Red Clover is commonly recommended for skin conditions such as acne, eczema, and psoriasis.

It’s also recommended for treating menopausal symptoms, rheumatoid arthritis, swollen lymph glands, asthma, autoimmune conditions and even cancer.

Red clover contains isoflavones, which are a type of phytoestrogen — a plant compound that can weakly mimic estrogen in the body. Some research has shown a connection between isoflavone intake and a decrease in osteoporosis risk. 

A 2015 study in 60 premenopausal women found that taking 5 ounces (150 mL) of red clover extract containing 37 mg of isoflavones daily for 12 weeks led to less BMD loss in the lumbar spine and neck, compared with the placebo group.

Menopausal symptoms

Red clover’s high isoflavone content is believed to help lower menopause symptoms, such as hot flashes and night sweats.

Two review studies found that 40–80 mg of red clover (Promensil) per day may help alleviate hot flashes in women with severe symptoms (5 or more per day) by 30–50%. Still, many studies were funded by supplement companies, which may lead to bias

Red clover has also shown mild improvements in other menopausal symptoms, such as anxiety, depression, and vaginal dryness

Skin and hair health

Red clover extract has been used in traditional medicine to promote skin and hair health.

In a randomized study in 109 postmenopausal women, participants reported significant improvements in hair and skin texture, appearance, and overall quality after taking 80 mg of red clover extract for 90 days.

Heart health

Some preliminary research has shown red clover may improve heart health in postmenopausal women.

One 2015 study in 147 postmenopausal women indicated a 12% decrease in LDL (bad) cholesterol after taking 50 mg of red clover (Rimostil) daily for 1 year

At-risk populations

Those with hormone-sensitive conditions, such as breast cancer, ovarian cancer, or endometriosis, should speak to their healthcare provider before taking red clover due to its estrogenic activity. Not recommended for use during pregnancy.
