GlossaryTrifolium pratense

flowering plant known as red clover, rich in isoflavones

Trifolium pratense, commonly known as red clover, is a flowering plant in the legume family. It is often used in herbal medicine and dietary supplements due to its high content of isoflavones, which are compounds that can mimic estrogen in the body. Red clover is sometimes used to support hair health and treat conditions like alopecia, as its phytoestrogens may help balance hormones and promote hair growth.
