Red Clover (Cut & Sifted) 1oz

Red clover is a low-growing, perennial wildflower in the pea family originally distributed throughout North America and Asia and naturalized in North America. Also known as bee bread and cow clover, the plant provides forage for bees and livestock, as well nutrition for humans. The blossoms and leaf are a good source of protein, amino acids and a class of phenolic compounds called isoflavones, which are converted into phytoestrogens in the body. The herb is also rich in calcium, chromium, magnesium, niacin, phosphorus, potassium, thiamine and vitamin C.

Safety: Red clover is safe for most people. However, this herb should not be used during pregnancy or if there is a history of a hormone-driven cancer. Red clover may also increase the risk of bleeding in people who take anticoagulants, such as coumadin (Warfarin).
