Hi housewife19 - whay does he think you are pre-menopausal? What symptoms are you getting and if you don't mind, how old are you?
Studies into Promensil - a commercial formulation containing Red Clover found that "the totality of evidence does not support these claims" (that Promensil relieves hot flushes and menopausal symptoms).

here is the link:
cspinet.org/new/pdf/promensilad.pdf

No harm in trying - but the effect may be placebo, or maybe your symptoms would decline anyway - as they do stop and start in peri-menopause stage, as hormones fluctuate.

Hope this helps!
