Alfalfa

Alfalfa derives its name and meaning from the Middle East. This "father of all foods" is a great source of vitamins A, C, E, and K4, and rich in calcium, magnesium, potassium, phosphorus, and iron. Saponins in alfalfa have demonstrated cholesterol lowering properties, slowing their absorption into blood and along the arterial walls.

Description

A member of the legume family, alfalfa has a long holistic history both in the old world, and the new. Alfalfa supplements may lower blood levels of cholesterol and glucose. It is a high fibrous plant.

Benefits

  • The saponins mentioned earlier have been shown in other studies to promote energy levels by stimulating the heart and brain
  • Reductions in total cholesterol, and so called bad cholesterol (low-density lipoprotein) have been reported in several studies concerned with alfalfa supplements. What is most notable about this research is that good cholesterol (high-density lipoprotein) tends to be maintained, concluding that alfalfa appears to target bad cholesterol only
  • There are folk beliefs that alfalfa may alleviate the effects of menopause

Safety Notes

Alfalfa reacts negatively with Lupus and may lead to an outbreak. This is caused by chemical agents in the roots and stems of the alfalfa plant. Orovo recommends that you consult a physician before you begin taking any new health supplement blend.
