It’s also a good source of essential minerals such as calcium, magnesium, iron, phosphorus, and zinc. This makes it particularly beneficial for women’s health, as it contains plant estrogens that are similar to the hormone estrogen. Moreover, red clover microgreens are known to assist in alleviating various ailments, including PMS, menopause symptoms like hot flashes, fibrocystic disease, and they are believed to increase energy levels. Additionally, they offer anti-aging benefits for the skin, act as a blood purifier, and are considered to reduce the risk of cancer due to their high isoflavone content, which is more abundant than in any other superfood.
