Detailed description
Sweet clover, Melilotus officinalis, a member of the Fabaceae family, is native to temperate regions of Europe and Asia. Its flowering tops are used in many phytotherapeutic traditions, notably for their contribution to circulatory and digestive well-being.
Sweet clover buds contain a variety of bioactive compounds, including coumarins (including coumarin and dicoumarol), flavonoids, phenolic acids and saponins. These compounds help protect cells against free radicals thanks to their antioxidant properties, and support natural metabolic balance mechanisms.
Traditionally, sweet clover is used to help relieve heavy legs and promote good venous circulation. It is also studied for its soothing role and effects on digestive health, as well as for its protective action at cellular level.
