Red Clover Flowering Tops
Indiana Botanic Gardens
Overview
The effectiveness of this Red Clover Flowering Tops liquid extract is difficult to ascertain precisely due to the lack of standardization for isoflavone content. While red clover research supports a modest reduction in hot flashes at specific isoflavone doses (typically ≥80 mg/day), this product provides only the total extract amount, not the active compounds. This omission makes it challenging to confirm if it delivers the clinically relevant doses required for its purported benefits.
The Good

The Bad
Lack of standardization for isoflavone content, which is crucial for efficacy.
Modest and sometimes inconclusive efficacy for hot flashes compared to placebo in some studies.
Limited long-term safety data beyond 12 weeks.
