Detailed description
Red clover Trifolium pratense, a herbaceous plant in the Fabaceae family, is native to temperate regions of Europe, Asia and North America. Traditionally recognized for its rich bioactive compounds, it is used as an ingredient in formulations designed to promote general well-being.
Red clover flowers and leaves contain isoflavones, notably biochanin A, formononetin, genistein and daidzein. These phytoestrogens, known for their affinity with estrogen receptors, are thought to help maintain a normal hormonal balance, particularly during specific periods such as menopause. They also help support bone and cardiovascular health.
In addition to these isoflavones, red clover contains flavonoids and phenolic acids, which play a role in protecting cells against oxidative stress and supporting the body’s natural defense mechanisms. These properties make it an appreciated ingredient in formulations dedicated to balance and general well-being.
