It’s known that an increased consumption of dietary isoflavones is associated with a decreased risk of prostate cancer and red clover (Trifolium pretense) is one of the better sources of isoflavones. Some people may know red clover as the herb recommended to help “clear or cleanse” the blood and help reduce allergies, in the herbal world too. The National Institutes of Health in MD is studying signaling between human prostate cancer cells and their supporting stromal cells as they grow together in laboratory culture and checking out the effects of DHEA (many men take a DHEA supplement because it’s been said that DHEA can reverse aging or have anabolic effects since the body can metabolize it to androgens) and red clover on the prostate.
While there are many potential positive effects of the duo, DHEA may not be so great in certain cells like pre-cancer or inflamed tissues as these cells can induce DHEA to become more androgenic. But red clover isoflavones may modify androgenic effects in the prostate caused by DHEA which makes the two a great team, potentially.
Bottom line is, the jury is still out and while much more work in the laboratory and clinic is needed to validate the effects of these supplements, red clover may be one that’s pretty safe to use in the meantime. The herb is a source of many nutrients including calcium, chromium, magnesium, niacin, phosphorus, potassium, thiamine, and vitamin C—that’s why its considered an overall tonic by herbalists too, and its richness in isoflavones makes it great for menopause, such as hot flashes, cardiovascular health, and osteoporosis as well. Also: red clover ointments have long been applied to the skin to treat psoriasis, eczema, and other rashes and the herb also has a history of use as a cough remedy for children. Because of its isoflavones, pregnant and breastfeeding women shouldn’t take it.
