What is Red Clover Extract ?
Red clover is a wild and very common plant. Red clover is abundant throughout Europe, Central and Northern Asia from the Mediterranean to the Arctic Circle. Red clover has been naturalized to grow in North America. As the other name, "bee-bread" suggests, red clover produces a honey but far less than white clover.
Red Clover Extract (RCE) refers to any extract that is taken from the red clover plant, known botanically as trifolium pratense which is a good natural source of isoflavone molecules.
Health Benefits of Red Clover Extract
Isoflavones can be extracted from red clover. These isolated isoflavones have not the same benefits as the whole red clover plant but they are used to treat menopause, hot flushes, cardiovascular health and bone loss. On dry matter basis, 100 g red clover contains 10 x more isoflavones than soy.
Red clover contains an impressive array of vitamins and trace minerals in synergy with many active medical compounds, including a strong concentration of isoflavones. Isoflavones are a type of flavonoids found in plants that act like estrogen in mammals. These isoflavones are also found in many plants in the (FABACEAE) or pea family like soybeans, red clover, alfalfa, garden peas, beans, licorice and kudzu. These phytoestrogens exert a weak estrogenic effect due to their ability to bind estrogen receptors. This is of special interest to women in relieving the symptoms of menopauseand providing protection against osteoporosis by helping to maintain bone density. These compounds have shown promise in studies for their protective effects against cancer ofthe breast.
Red clover maintains a strong following among traditional herbalists as a blood purifying depurative that has been used safely and effectively for hundreds, if not thousands of years in clinical practice.
