Solgar Red Clover Flower & Leaf Extract 60 Capsules is a botanical food supplement made from red clover (Trifolium pratense), a plant in the legume family. It provides a standardised red clover extract with raw red clover flower powder in a plant-based capsule, taken as 1 capsule a day.

Key Features

• Standardised extract plus flower powder: Combines a red clover powdered extract standardised to 1% biochanins with raw red clover flower powder.
• Isoflavone-containing plant: Solgar states that red clover contains isoflavones, plant chemicals that produce oestrogen-like effects.
• One capsule a day: The daily amount is 1 vegetable capsule, so a 60-capsule pack lasts 60 days.
• Vegan, vegetarian and kosher: Solgar lists the product as suitable for vegans and vegetarians and as kosher, in a hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose capsule.

Does red clover help with menopause symptoms?

The NHS says herbal remedies such as red clover contain plant hormones that can act in a similar way to oestrogen, but that any help with menopause symptoms is not supported by scientific evidence. It also notes these products are not tested and regulated like medicines, so how safe and effective they are is not known. Ask a GP or pharmacist for advice before using one.

What is in Solgar Red Clover Flower & Leaf Extract?

Each capsule is made from standardised red clover powdered extract (1% biochanins) and raw red clover flower powder. Solgar adds a powdered blend of beta-carotene and ascorbic acid (vitamin C) as an antioxidant to keep the ingredients fresh.

Speak to a GP or pharmacist before use, and follow these precautions:

• Red clover contains plant hormones that can act in a similar way to oestrogen, and herbal remedies are not tested and regulated in the same way as medicines, so how safe they are is not known. Ask a GP or pharmacist for advice before using it.
• Some herbal remedies can cause serious side effects when taken with other medicines, so tell your pharmacist or GP about any medicines you take.
• Food supplements should not be used instead of a varied, balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle.
