HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Organic Red Clover by Ra Herbals

Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

Generated from HelloPharmacist’s pharmacist-curated databases and editorial rules · Last generated Sep 3, 2026

What’s inside

Low disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Low

Most active ingredients don't disclose an individual amount — you can't tell how much of each you're getting.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 0 of its 1 active ingredient.

Ra Herbals Organic Red Clover is a one-ingredient liquid formula — just red clover extract. The plant contains compounds called phytoestrogens (plant-based substances that mimic estrogen), which are responsible for both its potential effects and its interactions with certain medications.

The liquid also contains cane alcohol and distilled water as inactive ingredients.

Does it work?

Couldn't assess
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Not assessable

This is a single-ingredient Red Clover product and its label doesn't state a use — see Red Clover's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.

The evidence we hold for red clover doesn't establish reliable support for any of the conditions it's marketed for — androgenic alopecia (pattern hair loss), menopausal symptoms, osteoarthritis, and osteoporosis all carry a rating of insufficient reliable evidence to rate. That doesn't mean it doesn't work; it means the clinical trial data we have isn't solid enough to say one way or the other.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Red Clover

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 1 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Red clover is generally well tolerated in the short term by healthy adults, though its estrogen-like activity requires caution in certain people. The most common side effects from oral use are muscle aches, nausea, and vaginal spotting.

Some concern exists about whether long-term use might raise the risk of estrogen-sensitive cancers like breast cancer, though a review of eight clinical trials suggests any increase in breast density occurs mainly in premenopausal women, not postmenopausal ones. Red clover is rated possibly unsafe during pregnancy because of its estrogen-like effects and lack of safety data, and there isn't enough safety information to recommend it while breastfeeding.

Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether it's right for you, especially if you're pregnant, nursing, or have a personal or family history of hormone-sensitive cancer.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Red Clover

Meds to double-check

Moderate interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Moderate identified

The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Red Clover.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs.
  • For scale: 868 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

Before you start, double-check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take estrogen therapy, methotrexate, or tamoxifen — these carry Moderate-severity interaction risks. Also flag any blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs (though the clinical risk is Minor and not confirmed in people), and let them know about any medications metabolized by the liver enzymes CYP1A2, CYP2C19, CYP2C9, or CYP3A4, where Minor-severity effects are theoretically possible.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with no assessable stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Red clover may be worth considering if you're exploring options for menopausal symptoms or bone health, but the evidence for it isn't established yet. If you take estrogen therapy, methotrexate, tamoxifen, or drugs metabolized by certain liver enzymes, you'll need to check with your doctor or pharmacist first — the interaction risks are real.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding are off the table. Have a conversation with your own healthcare provider about whether this product fits your situation.

Red Clover9 drug types · 867 drugs

Estrogens

Theoretically, concomitant use of large amounts of red clover might interfere with estrogen therapy.
Red clover contains phytoestrogens which might have estrogenic activity in some people. Theoretically, red clover might compete for estrogen receptors and interfere with estrogen-containing drug therapy.

Likelihood Probable Evidence D
Methotrexate (Trexall, Others)

Theoretically, red clover might increase the risk of methotrexate toxicity.
In a case report, a 52-year-old female receiving weekly methotrexate injections for psoriasis developed symptoms of methotrexate toxicity, including severe vomiting and epigastric pain, after three days of taking red clover 430 mg daily. Toxicity resolved after red clover was discontinued. However, no liver function tests or methotrexate levels were reported.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Tamoxifen (Nolvadex)

Theoretically, the phytoestrogens in red clover might interfere with tamoxifen.
In vitro and animal research suggests that genistein, a constituent of red clover, might antagonize the antitumor effects of tamoxifen. However, there is some evidence from an animal study that red clover does not reduce the efficacy of tamoxifen. Until more is known, tell patients taking tamoxifen to avoid red clover.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Although some laboratory research suggests that red clover may have anticoagulant and antiplatelet activity, clinical research has not shown this effect.
In vitro research suggests that genistein in red clover has antiplatelet effects, and historically, red clover was thought to have anticoagulant effects due to its coumarin content. However, some experts state that this is unlikely as most natural coumarins have not been shown to have anticoagulant effects, and their content in red clover is low. Additionally, some clinical research in postmenopausal patients found no effect on coagulation or prothrombin time with the use of red clover flowering tops 378 mg daily for 12 months or red clover isoflavone (Rimostil) 50 mg daily for 2 years.

Likelihood Unlikely Evidence B
Caffeine

Theoretically, soy might reduce the clearance of caffeine; however, a small clinical study found no effect.
Red clover contains genistein. Taking genistein 1 gram daily for 14 days seems to inhibit caffeine clearance and metabolism in healthy females. However, this effect does not seem to occur with the lower amounts of genistein found in red clover. A clinical study in healthy postmenopausal individuals shows that taking red clover capsules standardized to contain 60 mg isoflavones twice daily for 14 days does not affect the pharmacokinetics of caffeine.

Likelihood Unlikely Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 1A2 (Cyp1A2) Substrates

Theoretically, red clover might increase levels of drugs metabolized by CYP1A2; however, a small clinical study found no effect.
In vitro evidence shows that red clover inhibits CYP1A2. However, a clinical study in healthy postmenopausal individuals shows that taking red clover capsules standardized to contain 60 mg isoflavones twice daily for 14 days does not affect the pharmacokinetics of caffeine, a CYP1A2 probe substrate.

Likelihood Unlikely Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 2C19 (Cyp2C19) Substrates

Theoretically, red clover might increase the levels and clinical effects of drugs metabolized by CYP2C19.
In vitro evidence suggests that red clover weakly inhibits CYP2C19. This interaction has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Unlikely Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 2C9 (Cyp2C9) Substrates

Theoretically, red clover might increase levels of drugs metabolized by CYP2C9; however, a small clinical study found no effect.
In vitro evidence suggests that red clover might inhibit CYP2C9. However, a clinical study in healthy postmenopausal individuals shows that taking red clover capsules standardized to contain 60 mg isoflavones twice daily for 14 days does not affect the pharmacokinetics of tolbutamide, a CYP2C9 probe substrate.

Likelihood Unlikely Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 3A4 (Cyp3A4) Substrates

Theoretically, red clover might increase levels of drugs metabolized by CYP3A4; however, a small clinical study found no effect.
In vitro evidence shows that red clover might inhibit CYP3A4 isoenzymes. However, a clinical study in healthy postmenopausal individuals shows that taking red clover capsules standardized to contain 60 mg isoflavones twice daily for 14 days does not affect the pharmacokinetics of alprazolam, a CYP3A4 probe substrate.

Organic Red Clover by Ra Herbals: Common Questions

Does Organic Red Clover by Ra Herbals interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Organic Red Clover has a known interaction with 867 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Organic Red Clover contains a single active ingredient, and that one ingredient can interact with many different medications on its own. We check it against each medication and show the mechanism responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
Can I take red clover if I'm on hormone replacement therapy?
No — red clover's plant estrogens may interfere with how your estrogen medication works. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before adding red clover to your routine; they can advise you on whether it's safe for you.
What are the most common side effects?
The most frequent ones reported are muscle aches, nausea, and vaginal spotting. Headache has been noted in some studies, though it was no more common than placebo.
Is red clover safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?
The safety data isn't there. Red clover is rated possibly unsafe in pregnancy because of its estrogen-like effects, and there isn't enough information to recommend it while breastfeeding. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice.
Does red clover actually work for hot flashes or other menopausal symptoms?
We don't have enough reliable clinical evidence to confirm it works for menopausal symptoms. That's not the same as saying it doesn't — just that the research so far hasn't established it clearly.
Can I use red clover if I have a history of breast cancer?
Red clover's estrogen-like activity and the theoretical concern about estrogen-sensitive cancers means this is a conversation for your doctor. They know your personal history and can advise whether it's appropriate for you.
