Core Health Benefits
• Cholesterol Management Alfalfa may help lower cholesterol levels. It contains saponins, which can reduce the absorption of cholesterol in the gut and increase its excretion. While animal studies show promise, more human research is needed.
• Blood Sugar Control The fiber in alfalfa can slow glucose absorption, potentially aiding in blood sugar control. Animal studies suggest it may lower blood sugar and triglyceride levels, but human studies are limited.
• Antioxidant Properties Alfalfa is high in antioxidants, which help combat oxidative stress and may reduce the risk of chronic diseases like heart disease and cancer. Other Potential Benefits
• Menopausal Relief: Some believe alfalfa can alleviate menopausal symptoms.
• Sperm Quality: There are claims it may improve sperm quality, though evidence is limited.
• Skin Health: Alfalfa's nutrients may support skin health and healing.
