Alfalfa

Also known as: lucerne, Medicago sativa

Alfalfa is a legume whose leaves contain vitamin K, minerals, saponins and phytoestrogens. It is sold as a nutrient source, but evidence of health benefits is lacking.

What it is used for

  • Lower cholesterol – very weak evidence, mainly animal studies
  • Nutrient source – amounts in tablets are small

Forms and how they differ

leaf tablets

dried leaf powder

sprouts

a food, risk of bacterial contamination

When to take it

With meals.

Pairs well with

A varied diet with vegetables.

Do not combine / separate

Combining with warfarin – it contains vitamin K.

Watch out for

Not suitable in pregnancy, breastfeeding, autoimmune disease (especially lupus) or hormone-sensitive conditions. If you take warfarin, immunosuppressants or hormonal therapy, consult your doctor.

Safety

Do not exceed the dose stated on the label.

Practical tip

If you take blood thinners, tell your doctor about every supplement containing vitamin K.
