Red Clover Extract Trifolium pratense CAS.NO 85085-25-2 EINECS ELINCS No.:285-356-7 INCI Name Trifolium Pratense Extract photo picture image Red clover contains high amounts of isoflavone compounds, such as genistein, which have weak oestrogen properties. Research on both red clover and soya isoflavones is currently looking at their action as potential alternatives to oestrogen in menopausal women. A double-blind study found that menopausal women had improved function of their arteries while taking red clover extract compared to placebo.

This could mean menopausal women would have less trouble with high blood pressure or atherosclerosis, though more study is required to be certain. Various laboratory studies show isoflavones may help prevent cancer.

In one case study, use of red clover by a man with prostate cancer led to noticeable anticancer effects in his prostate after the cancer was surgically removed.

Although the isoflavones in red clover may help prevent certain forms of cancer (e.g., breast and prostate), more clinical studies are needed before red clover is recommended for cancer patients. The mechanism of action and responsible constituents for its purported benefit in skin conditions is unknown.

The use of red clover extract as a supplement for menopausal women has gained attention through the marketing of an Australian product called Promensil. These pills, introduced in the United States in 1998, contain 40 mg each of isoflavones, in a standardized ratio. Most of the research supporting red clover isoflavones has been conducted in Australia. The same firm markets a red clover supplement called Trinivin, also containing 40 mg standardized isoflavones, for men with healthy but enlarged prostates.

According to the studies conducted by the manufacturer, Novogen, red clover isoflavones are capable of suppressing hot flashes in perimenopausal women without leading to proliferation in uterine (endometrial) tissue. A double-blind controlled trial published in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism (March 1999) demonstrated that red clover isoflavones help keep large blood vessels pliable.

Several studies of a proprietary extract of red clover isoflavones suggest that it may significantly reduce hot flashes in menopausal women. Also, menopause increases a woman's risk for developing osteoporosis (significant bone loss) and some studies suggest that a proprietary extract of red clover isoflavones may slow bone loss and even boost bone mineral density in pre and peri-menopausal women. The estrogen-like effect of red clover isoflavones may be involved, and red clover also may have a direct effect by preventing the breakdown of existing bone.
