| Abstract: | Red clover, a perennial herb that is prevalent in Asia, Europe, and North America, has traditionally been used to treat skin disorders such as psoriasis and eczema, whooping cough, and mastitis. Red clover contains compounds known as isoflavones that act as phytoestrogens. Isoflavones have generated considerable interest in the last decade because of their possible cancer-preventive, cardioprotective, and anti-osteoporotic effects, as well as for their ability to relieve menopausal symptoms. Red clover supplements are available as capsules, tablets, tinctures, and teas. |
