As men reach older age, they also start to experience changes. Andropause, the period of a decrease in production of male hormones, is nowadays increasingly mentioned. Men notice a fall in their élan and strength; they more frequently experience tiredness, insomnia and irritability; their sexual power is also slowly decreasing. Changes of the blood vessels may be fatal and osteoporosis is also increasingly frequent. The prostate, the male sex gland, is also affected: about 50% men in their fifties have enlarged prostate.

Prostate is located in the pelvis, between the urinary bladder and rectum. It encircles the urethra. It participates in the production of the secretion that together with sperm cells makes the sperm. A healthy prostate measures around 3.5 centimetres and is shaped like a chestnut. A benign enlargement, meaning the excessive growth of the prostate tissue, may be found as early as the early forties, but symptoms usually start later. Every other man in his sixties suffers from more or less pronounced difficulties related to frequent, incomplete and night urination, as well as weak or interrupted urine stream.  These difficulties, caused by the pressure of the enlarged prostate on the urethra, are experienced by over 80% of men in their seventies.

Red clover isoflavones occupy a prominent place among natural products that have a positive effect on the prostate health. It has been confirmed that isoflavones act upon enzymes connected to the prostate and thus may improve its function and reduce the frequency of urinating at night, improve the urine flow and, more generally, improve the life quality. They also have a good effect on the heart and blood vessels, as proven by numerous studies that have shown isoflavones to reduce cholesterol and improve arterial elasticity. Studies have also shown that isoflavones have a positive effect on the prostate cancer and that they slow down the growth of certain tumour cells and prevent development of metastases. It remains to be confirmed if isoflavone-rich nutrition is the cause why men in Asian countries have a far lower incidence of benign enlargement and cancer of the prostate.
