Red Clover Side Effects

Red clover usually doesn’t cause very serious side effects when one takes the dose that is recommended by those who sell the herb, assuming you are buying from a quality herbal company. The most typical side effects of red clover are things like rashes, headaches and nausea. Girls with breast cancer and people that are currently on anticoagulants should consult their doctor before taking this herb.

A 2004 study in Menopause demonstrated that this herb is actually contraindicated in people with estrogen-sensitive conditions. These conditions mainly include ovarian cancer, breast cancer, uterine fibroids, uterine cancer, and endometriosis, and thus should not be used in people with these conditions.

Red clover also features derivatives of coumarin, a compound in the category of benzopyrone. This implies that red clover has blood thinning properties and must be utilized with caution by persons experiencing coagulation disorders. Benzodiazepines and opiates also utilize the CYP3A4 metabolic pathway.
