Supplementation of Rimostil (from Red Clover) has been noted to improve HDL cholesterol levels by 15.7-28.6% with the dosage range of 28.5-85.5mg, with most efficacy coming from the middle dose of 57mg. There was a significant decrease in apolipoprotein B (11.5-17%) and increase in bone mineral density of 3.1-4%, although the latter was not seen at 28.5mg daily.
While this study was double-blinded, there was not a placebo control used alongside the double-blinded experimental group.
