Red Clover - Dr. Christopher's - 100 Vegetable Capsules

What is red clover?

Red clover (Trifolium pratense) is a perennial herbaceous plant belonging to the legume family. Its pink flowers have been traditionally used in phytotherapy due to their rich profile of isoflavones and other bioactive compounds. This Dr. Christopher supplement features the flower and flowering tops in dry powder form, encapsulated in vegetable capsules for easy administration.

Benefits and traditional uses

In herbal tradition, red clover has been used to support women's health, especially during menopause, thanks to its content of isoflavones, plant-derived compounds with a similar structure to estrogens. It has also been used to promote skin and respiratory health. However, it is important to remember that these applications are based on traditional use and not on EFSA-approved health claims.

How to take red clover supplement?

The recommended dosage for adults is 1 capsule twice a day, preferably with meals. Each package contains 100 vegetable capsules, providing a supply for approximately 50 days. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose. This product should not be used as a substitute for a balanced diet.

Side effects and contraindications

Red clover is generally well tolerated. In rare cases, mild digestive discomfort may occur. It is contraindicated in pregnant or breastfeeding women, as well as in people with a history of hormone-dependent cancer or clotting disorders. Consult a healthcare professional before starting any supplementation, especially if you are taking anticoagulant medication.

How to choose a good red clover supplement
