Benefits: Red clover has a particular affinity for mature women and can provide soothing comfort during normal aging processes.
Cautions and Contraindications: Red clover should not be used during pregnancy, and may also interfere with anticoagulant and hormonal therapies. Researchers at the University of Ottawa have shown there is some evidence that red clover may utilize the P450 cytochrome metabolic pathway in the body, which could indicate potential herb drug interactions. Pharmaceuticals that use this pathway include antiretrovirals and oral contraceptives.
