Red Clover Extract Powder

Red Clover Extract is a concentrated form of the red clover blossom (Trifolium pratense), standardized to contain specific levels of isoflavones (plant-based estrogens). Compared to raw blossoms or teas, the extract is more potent and consistent, making it one of the most popular natural remedies for menopause support, bone health, and heart protection.

What Red Clover Extract Contains

Isoflavones (phytoestrogens):
- Genistein, Daidzein, Biochanin A, Formononetin → mimic estrogen activity in the body.
Coumarins: Improve blood circulation.
Flavonoids & phenolic acids: Antioxidant and anti-inflammatory.
