Organic Alfalfa

Alfalfa grass is a nutrient-packed powerhouse. It's loaded with essential vitamins (including vitamin Bs, C, D, E and K), a wide range of minerals (calcium, phosphorus, iron, magnesium, potassium, zinc, copper, selenium, organic silicon, manganese), and essential amino acids, offering numerous health benefits.

Additionally, alfalfa is rich in bioactive plant compounds including flavonoids and other polyphenols. One group of these flavonoids include isoflavones, which are a phytoestrogen, or in other words, a plant-derived estrogen-like compound. Due to their similar structure to the hormone estrogen, phytoestrogens have been researched to improve symptoms of menopause, such as hot flushes. Research on isoflavones has also suggested potential benefits in reducing the risk of certain cancers, such as breast and endometrial cancer.

In addition, due to its high polyphenolic content, alfalfa has high antioxidant properties which enhance cellular antioxidant activity under oxidative stress, providing defence against free radicals and cellular damage . Alfalfa is also rich in saponins, which are a plant-derived compound known for their ability to lower lipid levels and reduce inflammation, supported by animal studies demonstrating their cholesterol-lowering effects.
