Red Clover in menopause

Red clover (Trifolium pratense) is a plant with isoflavones (biochanin A, formononetin) different from soy isoflavones. Clinical evidence for hot flushes is weak-to-moderate, about a 10-20% reduction in responders. It is an alternative if soy is ineffective after 12 weeks. Being plant-based, halal status is usually easier to verify, but check the exact product label; it usually comes in a vegetable capsule.
