Nope. If you take multiple phytoestrogens together they'll compete for estrogen receptors and you'll get something part way in between, rather than adding together. PM is very strong and occupies few receptors. Alfalfa, red clover and whole flax (not the oil) are weak and occupy many receptors so they may crowd it out. While helpful for people with low estrogen, RC is often also used to combat excess estrogen.
This creates a lot of confusion because anything in NBE is often called a phytoestrogen if it seems to work, when actually it might be working indirectly and not as a phytoestrogen. Then it's hard to know what to take and not take with PM, and some people avoid everything else when that's not necessary.
