Natures Aid Red Clover

The menopause can give rise to a number of classic symptoms such as the dreaded hot flushes that are caused by the natural decline in oestrogen and a rise in the luteinising hormone. Red Clover contains the highest levels of the important dietary isoflavones (natural phytoestrogens that can help the body to cope with oestrogen decline), lacking in a typical western diet. Several studies have been carried out using extracts of Red Clover containing 40mg of isoflavones with positive results in reducing the number and frequency of flushes. Natures Aid standardised Red Clover tablets contain 40mg of isoflavones.

What is Natures Aid Red Clover used for?

• Hot flushes - women taking 40 milligrams of Red Clover isoflavones daily for 16 weeks found a 50% reduction in the number of hot flushes experienced and a 47% reduction in their severity.Osteoporosis - in a study of 107 women who were approaching and going through the menopause, a 49% reduction in the loss of bone minerals was demonstrated.
• Circulation health in menopausal women - an improvement in heart health, protection against narrowing of the arteries and a reduction in cholesterol levels have been demonstrated in menopausal women. This is thought to be due to the anti-oxidant and oestrogenic properties of Red Clover. The condition of arteries deteriorates in postmenopausal women. In trials, taking a Red Clover extract daily helped maintain healthy arteries.
• Prostate health - Red Clover is used to aid urine flow and to help relieve irritation and inflammation of the urinary tract. Men in countries with a high isoflavone content diet have better prostate health. It has been speculated that this is due to an influence on testosterone metabolism and a reduction in cell division and growth.
