Alfalfa Health Benefits

Alfalfa has been used for thousands of years in many parts of the world, as a source of food for people and livestock and as a medicinal herb.

Vitamin K is critical in blood clotting, so alfalfa may have some use in improving clotting. It also contains trace minerals such as calcium, magnesium, iron, phosphorous, and potassium. Alfalfa is also higher in protein than many other plant foods. This abundance of nutrients has made alfalfa a popular tonic for convalescents when brewed into tea. Read more >>
