Your guide to red clover

Red Clover, a plant that is grown wild, is referred to as many different names, such as beebread, purple clover, cow grass, and meadow clover.

This meadow plant grows naturally in Europe, as well as Asia, and in recent years has been cultivated in North America. It has traditionally been given to livestock such as cattle for grazing purposes, however, there are also other purposes of this wild plant that benefit humans as well.

The purpled red flowers that bloom on this plant are thought to be rich in several nutrients needed by the human body for essential processes.

The nutrients contained within red clover include calcium, chromium, niacin, magnesium, thiamin, phosphorus, potassium, and vitamin C. Red clover also contains isoflavones which are also very beneficial for the treatment of many conditions. Specifically, this vividly colored plant is beneficial in treating coughs, asthma, bronchitis, conditions of the skin, jaundice, and disorders of the joints, as well as improving circulation by cleansing the blood.

Red clover has also been used to treat several symptoms related to menopause such as hot flashes, night sweats, and bone loss. There are also indications that red clover may be supportive of good cardiovascular health.

While there are no known adverse side affects related to the use of the plant, it is recommended that women who are pregnant or nursing, avoid use of products containing this herb.

Some studies have reported infertility in livestock, who are fed copious amounts of grazing material containing this flower. There have been no indications of the plant causing infertility in humans at this point. Due to the fact that isoflavones are comprised in part of estrogens, there are contradictory reports concerning the risk of isoflavone concentrates, increasing the risk of breast cancer.

Red clover is available in a variety of forms including oil, teas, tablets, tinctures and liquid extract. Consumers interested in red clover products should be aware that isoflavone isolated products are not recommended for use in children. Other forms of red clover products, which do not contain isoflavone concentrated red clover, are suitable for use in children, especially as a short-term cough remedy.

Tips On Buying Red Clover

Nutritional supplements in the U.S. and now other places in the world are largely unregulated, and many parties, both government and private have determined that health consumers only have a 1 in 5 chance of buying a product that actually contains the amount of ingredients stated on the product label, or worse still, a product that is not contaminated with harmful toxins.

Because of this, we suggest that you only purchase from pharmaceutical GMP compliant facilities, such places adhere to the most exacting manufacturing standards. If you do what we have suggested, you can be sure you are getting the amount of red Clover you paid for, and one that is not potentially contaminated.
