Red Clover Powder

Red Clover Powder is made by drying and finely grinding the above-ground parts of the Trifolium pratense plant, most often the blossoms (sometimes with leaves and stems). This makes it easy to add to teas, smoothies, or capsules, while still keeping the herb’s natural nutrients and phytoestrogens.

It is less concentrated than standardized extracts, but more convenient for daily use than whole blossoms.

What Red Clover Powder Contains

• Isoflavones (phytoestrogens): Genistein, Daidzein, Biochanin A, Formononetin → mild estrogen support.
• Coumarins: Promote circulation and mild blood-thinning.
• Flavonoids & phenolic acids: Antioxidant and anti-inflammatory.
• Minerals: Calcium, magnesium, potassium → bone and heart support.
