How Much Do You Know about Shamrock?

Shamrock is the general name of a variety of herbs with three finger shaped compound leaves. It is still controversial which kind of plant "shamrock" refers to, probably including Trifolium repens, Trifolium repens, alfalfa and white clover.

Shamrock represents luck in many western countries. People think it is only a plant in the garden of Eden. In some European countries, people who see clover on the roadside will almost put it away and flatten it so that they can give it to others in the future to express their best wishes to their friends. The number of clover represents true love, health and reputation.

The shamrock we want to elaborate today is red clover. Red clover is a perennial herb distributed in Europe, the United States, New Zealand and other places. Red clover is traditionally considered as a respiratory antispasmodic drug.

Red clover is rich in isoflavones, flavonoids and flavonols, of which isoflavones are the active ingredients that people pay more attention to. Compared with soybean isoflavones, the monomer components of red clover isoflavones seem to be more comprehensive. The anthocyanin and Eagle (a kind of isoflavones) are higher than soybean isoflavones, while the contents of Daidzein and genistein are lower, At the same time, red clover isoflavones basically do not contain protein and avoid allergic reactions in the process of practical application.

Estrogen plays an vital role in women of all ages. During the perimenopause, estrogen decreases, especially 17 β- Estradiol can produce various climacteric symptoms, such as bone loss, hot flashes, accompanied by metabolic disorders of blood lipid or blood pressure, and phytoestrogen replacement has become a good choice for nutritional health care.

According to the estimation of the World Health Organization of the United Nations, there will be 1.2 billion menopausal or post menopausal women in the world by 2030. The top raw materials for consumption include soybean isoflavones, estrol, red clover and black cohosh extract. Datantelo expects the growth rate of the global red clover market to reach 13.7% from 2020 to 2026, exceeding the growth rate of the isoflavone market, It shows that the growth of red clover isoflavone promotes the development of global isoflavone market, and its growth is attributed to its nutritional health care and medical purposes.
