"Can red
clover help me
with my perimenopause symptoms?"
  Red
clover, a member of the legume family,
is rich in phytoestrogens
compounds that function like estrogen in the body) , plant estrogens, and is one of the
few plants that contain all 4 types of isoflavones . It's also high in
bioflavonoids. Because of all of these characteristics it is thought to help in
alleviating a number of perimenopausal and
menopausal symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats, and other symptoms linked
to estrogen levels. (also see: "Learning to Love Soy")
Red clover, because it's so high in phytoestrogens, can help
balance fluctuating estrogen levels- boosting them when low and blocking stronger
estrogens when they're higher.
There is speculation that the large amounts of isoflavones
in red clover may also help to prevent cancer. Red clover has been made into a pill form
with the brand name Promensil.
