Each capsule provides red clover extract equivalent to 800mg of red clover.
Wild Yam Extract (800mg)
Wild yam (Dioscorea) has been used traditionally in various cultures. Native to North America and Asia, wild yam root contains diosgenin, a plant compound that has been studied and used in traditional practices.

The standardized extract ensures consistent isoflavone content.
