WHY ALFALFA DESERVES YOUR ATTENTION

But it is highly regarded worldwide as a nutritional and beneficial plant, especially its sprouts. Alfalfa is rich in essential vitamins like K and C and minerals such as copper and iron.
MORE INCREDIBLE BENEFITS…
FOR CHOLESTEROL
Alfalfa contains saponins, which are plant compounds that lower cholesterol levels. This is achieved by decreasing the absorption of cholesterol in the gut and increasing the excretion of compounds that produce new cholesterol.
FOR MENOPAUSE
Plant compounds found in Alfalfa, known as phytoestrogens, are chemically similar to estrogen, so they have similar effects on the body. Phytoestrogens may ease menopausal symptoms caused by decreased estrogen levels.
ANTIOXIDANTS
Alfalfa has powerful antioxidant properties, as some studies have found it to reduce oxidative stress damage. This is done by reducing free radical production and strengthening the body's defenses.
INFLAMMATION
Inflammation in joints and around the body can be reduced by Alfalfa's high levels of vitamin C and vitamin B, calcium, and antioxidant compounds.
