Viridian Red Clover Extract
Our verdict
If you want to test red clover for flushes, a single-ingredient product at a stated dose is the only sensible way to do it. The trial evidence is mixed and the average effect small, so keep expectations low and discuss it first if you have a hormone-sensitive cancer history.
