Dose or timing may matter

The short answer

Licorice Root has estrogenic properties (via glabridin and liquiritigenin), and Red Clover provides isoflavone phytoestrogens. Combined use may produce additive estrogenic effects.

How to arrange timing

Consider using one phytoestrogenic herb at a time.

Whether supplements suit you together also depends on dose, product formulation, health conditions, and medication use. Ask a doctor or pharmacist first if you take medication, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or have a chronic condition.
