Alfalfa is an excellent source of the following nutrients:
Protein and amino acids - Rubisco protein is the major protein in alfalfa. It has both an extremely high concentrations of essential amino acids and an overall balance of all the amino acids for maximum nutritive value.
Antioxidants - Alfalfa contains a well balanced natural blend of both mixed carotenoids and mixed tocopherols classes of antioxidants which function as scavengers of highly reactive, dangerous and destructive free radicals in both blood and body tissues. By reducing or eliminating free radicals, a variety of diseases can be avoided and or minimized thereby leading to a much greater degree of overall health and well being.
Phytonutrients (Xanthophylls) - Alfalfa contains an all-natural balanced blend of the phytonutrients of lutein, zeaxanthine and violaxanthine. These xanthophylls are vital to overall health and in particular eye health.
Chlorophyll - Alfalfa contains natural chlorophyll A and chlorophyll B.
Vitamin K and B Vitamins - Alfalfa is an excellent source of Vitamin K (phylloquinone) which is vital in the formation of red blood cells which are critical in blood clotting and likely responsible for strong bones. It also contains a well balanced natural mix of the B vitamins.
