What is Red Clover and what does it do? Red Clover (Trifolium pratense) is a short- lived perennial plant grown in Europe, Britain and throughout the northeast USA. Red clover is one of the oldest crops cultivated as forage for the feeding of livestock and horses. The ancient Greeks, Romans and Celts revered this plant. Its three leaves reminded the early Christians a symbol of the Trinity. Red clover has a rich and long history in American medicine. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries this common plant was even a main ingredient in medicines known as Trifolium compounds. Red clover was listed in the National Formulary for skin diseases until 1946. More modern day scientific research has shown that Red Clover (Trifolium pratense) contains a group of phytoestrogen compounds called isoflavones. The four major isoflavones identified in Red clover are Genistein, Biochanin A, Diadzein and Formonnetin. Phtyoestrogens are naturally occurring compounds found in Red clover and other plants that are structurally related to 17b-estradiol. Researchers have found that isoflavones may act as anti-estrogens and actually compete with estradiol at the cell binding site. This characteristic and others may be responsible for Red clovers ability to support healthy estrogen levels and usefulness during menopause. What is the purpose of adding Black Cohosh to this formula? The combination of the standardized extracts of these traditionally used and recently scientifically studied herbs should prove to be an excellent addition to women’s menopause support nutritional program. What is Black Cohosh and what does it do? Black Cohosh (Cimicifuga racemosa) is a plant indigenous to North America that has been traditionally used by Native Americans for generations to support female health as well as a host of other physical challenges. The dried root and rhizomes portion of the plant is generally used for herbal preparations. Black Cohosh has been successfully researched and used in Germany as herbal support for common symptoms related to menopause. The German Commission E included the monograph for Black Cohosh in 1989 based on the many years of clinical efficacy and safety of this herb. The active components identified belong to a family of triterpene glycosides and the best formulas are standardized to contain a guaranteed amount of these naturally occurring compounds. Though it was once theorized that Black Cohosh exerted its beneficial effects via estrogen like activity, more recent animal and human clinical studies performed in Europe have indicated that the pharmacology and mechanism of action is not estrogenic. |
