RED CLOVER

ANDROGEN DOMINANT

Based on your Hormone Type Quiz, androgen dominance may be to blame for a majority of your symptoms!

Androgens are a group of several hormones including DHEA, testosterone, androstenedione, and many others. They are often referred to as “male hormones” since levels are much higher in men than women. Despite this, androgens are still extremely important for women’s health. Testosterone and dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) are two of the more commonly known androgen hormones. Think of testosterone as the “get things done” hormone because it plays a significant role in motivation, focus, and one’s drive in life. Testosterone also helps boost mood and confidence, supports mental concentration and decision making, helps maintain a healthy immune system, keeps sex drive high, improves cardiovascular health, promotes muscle mass and bone density, increases metabolism, and helps keep fat off. DHEA is the most abundant steroid hormone in the body. DHEA is the precursor to testosterone which then converts into estrogen. DHEA is often referred to as the "anti-aging" hormone because levels peak between the ages of 20 and 35 and then start to decline. DHEA has numerous roles in the body including hormone production, memory, cognition, immune regulation, stress management, vitality, and general well-being.

Red clover hormone types commonly struggle with self-confidence due to stubborn weight gain, cystic acne, random chin hairs, and noticeable hair thinning. You may feel like you’ve tried everything yet none of your symptoms have budged. As a red clover, you may have been diagnosed with PCOS and/or offered medications such as hormonal birth control or spironolactone. You may have even tried these medications, either having success or experiencing unfortunate side effects. Either way, you know these medications aren’t a long-term solution… which is why you’re here!
