About Nature’s Sunshine Alfalfa

Alfalfa (Medicago sativa), known as the “Queen of Forages,” is one of nature’s most nutrient-rich plants. This amazing herb has been valued for over 6,000 years, first cultivated in ancient Persia where it earned the name “father of all foods.”

What makes alfalfa special is its incredibly deep root system. While most plants have shallow roots, alfalfa’s roots grow 10-15 feet deep into the soil, sometimes reaching up to 30 feet. This allows the plant to pull up minerals and nutrients that other plants simply can’t reach, creating a powerhouse of natural nutrition.

Exceptional Nutritional Profile

Nature’s Sunshine Alfalfa delivers an impressive range of vitamins and minerals in easy-to-take capsules. Each serving provides vitamin K (25% of your daily needs), plus vitamins A, C, E, and important B-vitamins that support your body’s everyday functions. The mineral content includes naturally available calcium, phosphorus, iron, copper, and trace elements like selenium, manganese, and zinc.

The protein in alfalfa is particularly impressive. It contains all the essential amino acids your body needs, with excellent digestibility rates of 75-85%. This complete protein profile makes it a valuable addition to any diet, especially for those seeking plant-based nutrition options.

Unique Bioactive Compounds

Alfalfa also contains unique compounds called saponins, along with beneficial flavonoids and naturally occurring chlorophyll. These bioactive compounds contribute to alfalfa’s traditional reputation and give the plant its vibrant green color. Research shows these compounds have impressive antioxidant properties that may help support your body’s natural defenses.

Traditional Uses Throughout History

Throughout history, different cultures have recognized alfalfa’s nutritional value. Ancient Persian medicine used it for digestive support, Traditional Chinese Medicine incorporated it around 200 CE for digestive health, and Native Americans called it “Buffalo grass,” using the seeds as nutritious flour. This rich traditional use shows how people have long understood alfalfa’s wellness benefits.

Modern Quality and Processing

Today’s processing methods preserve these time-tested nutritional qualities while meeting modern safety standards. Nature’s Sunshine carefully harvests alfalfa at peak nutrition levels and uses controlled drying processes that protect heat-sensitive vitamins and nutrients.

Perfect for anyone seeking comprehensive nutritional support, Nature’s Sunshine Alfalfa offers clean, whole food nutrition that may help fill gaps in your daily diet. Each capsule provides concentrated benefits from this proven plant, traditionally used to support energy levels, digestive wellness, and overall nutritional balance. With no artificial additives and eco-friendly packaging, this supplement brings you nature’s nutrition in its purest form.
