The red clover contained in the supplements contains phytoestrogens, which are characterized by structural similarity to 17-β-estradiol (endogenous estrogen produced by the ovaries). Thus, they have an estrogen-like effect, although weaker. As you can read in the SmPC of Euthyrox N, in women using preparations containing estrogens, the need for levothyroxine (the active ingredient in Euthyrox) may be increased. For this reason, before including supplements with red clover, I would recommend consulting a doctor - it may be necessary to carefully monitor well-being, perform tests and adjust the dose of the drug if necessary.
