Red clover
(Trifolium pratense)

Red clover’s Latin name ‘Trifolium pratense’ means ‘three leaves growing on a meadow’.

One can find Red clover all over Europe and up to the Himalayas. Red clover has been cultivated in China for its usage in traditional medicine for over 2000 years. Already the abbess scholar, Hildegard von Bingen (1098-1179) praised this clover as a highly effective herb.

Today we know that the effectiveness of Red clover is caused by the extremely high availability of isoflavones.

METABOLISM

From the Asian dietetics we know that the positive influence of the phyto hormones improves our sense of well being, this is especially true in the latter-stage of life hormone levels.

Here some of the effects of Red clover:

• lessens menopause afflictions
• promotes balance and harmony
• improves skin appearance (acne/wrinkles)
• slows down the aging process
• positive influence on the bones
• prevention against osteoporosis
• drops the cholesterol level
• decreases breast, uterus and prostate cancer
• acts as an anti-oxidant

Isoflavones have proven to be extremely helpful in the prevention of vascular diseases, with the protection of the “calcium ménage” and the cardio-vascular system, with the improvement of general symptoms of old age and last but not least, with alleviating menopausal ailments.

MENOPAUSE

Around the age of 40 the female body reduces the production of oestrogen and progesterone. Menopause is not a disease, but rather a natural process. Many women feel the symptoms of menopause starting with:

• hot flashes
• attacks of sweating
• nervousness and agitation
• insomnia
• headaches
• palpitation
• dizziness

VEGETABLE ACTIVE SUBSTANCES

High quality Red clover plant preparations are a lot more than just an addition to conventional hormone replacement therapy. They offer similarly beneficial results against the typical menopause problems: osteoporosis and heart attacks. They almost always serve as an adequate replacement and without the well known harmful side effects.

International studies recommend a daily intake of 40mg.
