Alfalfa

Oregon’s Wild Harvest Alfalfa is an herbal supplement that uses organic alfalfa tops, which contain vitamins, amino acids, and proteins that may support overall health. Alfalfa is thought of as a “women’s herb” due to its many nutrients that may support breastfeeding mothers.

• Certified organic alfalfa tops
• Seeks to support overall health
• Good source of magnesium, phosphorus, and zinc
• May provide nutrient support to breastfeeding mothers
• Gluten-Free, Non-GMO

Alfalfa is favored among growers for its high yield per acre and nutritional quality. These benefits are the result of its root system, which contains bacteria that can convert nitrogen in the atmosphere into essential amino acids, proteins, and other minerals. Most of these nutrients are found at the top of the plant in the leaves. These are removed during harvesting and allowed to regrow. As a perennial plant, alfalfa can be harvested for several seasons before replanting takes place.

The B-vitamins found in Alfalfa leaves may support red blood cell and cardiovascular function, a healthy nervous system, and metabolism. These are aided by proteins that serve an important role in muscle function, at least six essential amino acids that support synthesis of enzymes and hormones, as well as carotene and chlorophyll, which may support eye health.
