Produced by Nature's Way vitamin company

Alfalfa is a Dietary Supplement rich in phytonutrients.

Alfalfa (Medicago sativa) has a deep root system that pulls valuable minerals from the soil. With the aid of sunlight, nutrients including beta carotene and chlorophyll are made available to the body in a usable form. Nature's Way sources tender young plants to supply a high portion of supple leaves and to avoid the inclusion of woody stems.

Nature's Way Alfalfa is Organically Grown by Trout Lake Farm, Washington, and Certified Organically Processed in accordance with Oregon Tilth standards and the California Organic Foods Act of 1990.

Alfalfa is a natural source of chlorophyll, vitamins, minerals and protein. Alfalfa leaves contain approximately 2–3% saponins.

Alfalfa Questions:
Q. Can an alfalfa supplement be taken the same day as curcumin, mangosteen, goji, noni, coq10 , saw palmetto herb or graviola?
   A. We have not come across any research that would preclude the use of alfalfa with these supplements.

Q. Is it okay to eat alfalfa sprouts daily?
   A. Alfalfa sprouts are a healthy snack, and there is no indication that eating alfalfa sprouts on daily basis would lead to harm, however, just like any supplement or food, it is best to take a break from use just in case your body does not tolerate a particular chemical or substance in the food.

Q. What is the health benefit of alfalfa herb?
   A. Little human research has been done with alfalfa supplements in human health and disease. Therefore the health benefit of alfalfa sprouts or alfalfa supplements are not well known.

Q. Does alfalfa have side effects?
   A. Since little research has been done in humans regarding alfalfa tablet or alfalfa sprout supplement ingestion on health, we really don't know the long term health benefits or side effects of alfalfa use. Thus far, there have not been any alfalfa side effects reported in the medical literature. Many people take these pills daily for many weeks and months. However, it is a good idea to take a day or two off a week if you plan to take these pills daily for many months.

Q. How is alfalfa herb products available?
   A. You can find alfalfa as a tablet, capsule, in tea form, and of course as alfalfa sprouts. Alfalfa powder and alfalfa juice are also sold. Seed growers sell alfalfa seeds.
