Despite anecdotal evidence that red clover is effective at relieving the symptoms of menopause, no studies have actually proven the efficacy of red clover, and furthermore the herb is associated with some health risks. Keep reading to learn more about the risks posed by red clover.

No studies have actually proven the efficacy of red clover to treat menopausal symptoms, and one large study actually found that, compared to placebo, red clover had no significant effect on the relief of menopausal symptoms.
Due to the phytoestrogens in red clover, long-term use of the herb may increase the risk for uterine and breast cancer, as well as strokes. Some studies also suggest that red clover may decrease fertility. No long-term studies have been conducted on the use of red clover, and therefore the safety of long-term use cannot be guaranteed.
Although medical studies have not backed up claims for red clover's medicinal properties, many women have reported significant relief from their menopause symptoms (especially hot flashes and vaginal dryness) with red clover. Furthermore, red clover is a safer, simpler and cheaper alternative to hormone replacement therapy (HRT). However, long-term use of red clover has not been proven, and some studies even suggest that long-term use of red clover may be associated with serious health risks.
Women considering an alternative treatment for managing |

their menopause symptoms are urged to consider options that have been proven to be both safe and effective, like non-estrogenic herbs. Non-estrogenic herbs have been proven to be effective at relieving menopause symptoms, due to their ability to stimulate the body's own hormonal production, but because they don't contain any form of estrogen, non-estrogenic herbs are without the potential risks and side effects of other kinds of herbs.

Treating Hormonal Imbalance with MacaActive |
|
Hormones such as estrogen, progesterone and testosterone play an essential role in several areas of the body, and as hormonal levels decline with age, the health implications can be significant. As women begin to notice the symptoms of hormone deficiency, they may want to consider taking steps to stabilize their hormonal production.
Today, there are three effective ways to normalize hormonal levels: lifestyle changes, alternative medicine and drugs & surgery.
|
|
 |
Lifestyle Changes: Lifestyle changes (such as an improved diet and increased exercise) are vital for overall health and for alleviating the symptoms of hormonal balance, but lifestyle changes alone will not have a significant impact on hormonal production. Most women will want to consider the next level of treatment, alternative medicine, which has proven to be excellent for treating hormonal imbalance in a safe and natural way.
|
|
 |
Alternative medicine: There are two types of herbal supplements for improving low hormone levels: those containing phytoestrogenic herbs, and those containing non-estrogenic herbs. Phytoestrogenic herbs (like Black Cohosh) are filled with phytoestrogens, which are similar to estrogens. They can increase low estrogen levels by replacing some of the missing estrogen hormones. This isn't the best solution, however, because your body will become less responsive to producing estrogen on its own, causing a further decrease in body-own hormone levels. Unlike phytoestrogenic herbs, non-estrogenic herbs don't contain estrogen, but nourish the hormonal glands to work more efficiently. This ultimately results in balancing not only estrogen, but other necessary hormones, as well. Using non-estrogenic herbs is one of the safest and best ways to treat hormonal imbalance naturally.
An excellent example of a safe and effective non-estrogenic herb for hormonal deficiency is herbal MacaActive. What makes MacaActive so special is its ability to balance hormonal levels in women by nourishing the hormonal glands. In this way, it alleviates most disorders related to hormonal imbalance.  to read more about MacaActive.

Drugs and Surgery: This level of treatment has the highest risk and often the highest cost. The most common drug therapy for treating hot flashes in the US is hormone replacement therapy (HRT). There's no doubt that this is the quickest and strongest way to combat hormonal imbalance. Unfortunately, it entails serious side effects and increases the risk of different types of cancer in women. If you still want to consider this approach, see your doctor to learn more about what this treatment option involves.
