Red clover is widely grown as a fodder crop, valued for its natural nitrogen fixation abilities, which increases soil fertility, consequently, it is often used as a green manure crop during winter. Several cultivar groups have been selected for agricultural use, mostly derived from var. sativum. It has become naturalized in many temperate areas, including the Americas and Australia as it escaped from cultivation. Red clover contains isoflavones (estrogen-like compounds) which can mimic the effect of endogenous estrogen. The use of red clover to relieve menopausal symptoms has been shown to be safe. The isoflavones (like irilone and pratensein) from red clover have been used to treat the symptoms of menopause. A large, well-controlled study of high-isoflavone red clover extract supplements showed a modest reduction of hot flashes. Traditionally, red clover has been administered to help restore irregular menses and to balance the acid-alkaline level of the vagina to promote conception. Red clover has been reported to be used for a variety of medicinal purposes, such as the treatment of bronchitis, burns, cancers, ulcers, sedation, asthma, syphilis, and quitting smoking. Due to its activity on estrogen receptors, it is contraindicated in people with a history of breast cancer, endometriosis, ovarian cancer, uterine cancer, uterine fibroids, or other estrogen-sensitive conditions, but others have suggested the high isoflavone content counteracts this, and even provides benefits in these conditions. Due to its coumarin derivatives, it should be used in caution in individuals with coagulation disorders or currently undergoing anti-coagulation therapy.
