Red Clover Herb Information

Red Clover herb (Trifolium Pratense) is a well regarded herbal medicine that comes from an unremarkable plant that grows in Europe and North America. Both Chinese herbalists and Western herbalists have used this herb for hundreds of years as a diuretic as well as an alterative agent. (An alterative herb is one that can gradually alter and help correct impure conditions in the bloodstream.)

In other words, it is a potent blood purifier. The active constituents of this capable herb are isoflavone compounds like genistein

Specific Benefits of Red Clover

The benefits of red clover are many and varied including helping spasmodic coughs, whooping cough, chest weakness, wheezing, bronchitis, indolent ulcers, scaly skin, syphilis, leprosy, fresh wound cleaning and treating, even in helping to combat cancer, which we'll talk more about in a moment. It has also the capability of calming frayed nerves when taken as a warm tea.

It also has a long-standing reputation of helping fight scaly skin. You may notice a common element of all the aforementioned illness -- the blood. Impure blood is what Red Clover is most capable and specially designed for.

While RedClover has been used successfully for years as an alterative agent, it's also been used for treating cancer patients. Due to the scant clinical evidence of Red Clover, it should not be canonized as a cancer curing agent.

The isoflavones in Red-Clover herb may indeed help to prevent prostate, breast, and other types of cancer but more studies need to be done.

Precautions & Guidelines

While Red-Clover herb is very safe, fermented red clover should be avoided. Scientific clinical research is limited with RedClover so possible side effects are not comprehensively listed here. I've used Red Clover off and on for literally over 24 years and have never experienced traditional side effects of over consumption such as nausea, stomach upset, vomiting, dizziness, etc.

Nevertheless, use discretion when taking it. Famed herbalist and naturopathic doctor Dr. John Christopher recommended taking it as a tea up to four times a day for those who lack vitality and suffer from some form of cancer.

One cup of tea is approximately 250 ml of water. RedClover is also used in capsules, tablets, and of course tinctures. In tablet form, it is usually combined with other herbal extracts and/or vitamins to enhance its therapeutic benefits.

Choosing a Good Red Clover Herb Supplement

There are a couple of specific things to look for when choosing a quality Red Clover herb supplement. They are as follows:

1. Only choose herbal supplements that are produced using standardized extracts. The standardized extracts is preserves the active ingredients of the herb, which is where the therapeutic benefits reside. Standardized herbal extracts are expensive and that is why many supplement makers don't do it.

2. Next, only buy your herbal supplement from pharmaceutical standard GMP registered facilities. Facilities that are GMP registered comply with the most rigid standards so as to minimize the possibility of product contaminants. Incidentally, these are the same standards pharmaceutical companies in the United States are required to operate under as mandated by the FDA. As supplement fraud is so rampant with many so-called herbals and other supplements containing contaminants with 1 in 5 not having the ingredients as proclaimed on the label.

Recommendation

After a lot of research, we came across a New Zealand company that offers GMP compliant products, and meets all the above criteria. Their flagship nutritional supplement product not only has Red Clover herb extract but man other potent herbal extracts.

This herbal multivitamin supplement isn't just a Red Clover supplement but is a scientifically formulated containing a full spectrum of vitamins, minerals, standardized herbal extracts, trace and specialty minerals, and nutrient-rich enzymes.

This is important to note as many herbals' active ingredients are amplified when taken with other for almost all nutrients are interdependent in their biochemistry. I've been taking this multivitamin for a year and are very pleased with the results.
