Clinically Studied Benefits (with research)
• Lipid balance (preliminary human) — Small human studies of alfalfa seed/leaf preparations reported reductions in total and LDL cholesterol; larger modern trials are needed.
(NIH/PubMed — Mølgaard, 1987;
NIH/PubMed — Malinow, 1980)
• Mechanism context (saponins & bile acids) — Alfalfa saponins may help reduce intestinal cholesterol absorption and support bile acid balance (mechanistic/animal + in-vitro support).
(NIH/PubMed — Malinow, 1977;
NIH/PubMed — Malinow, 1979)
• Plant-phytonutrient/antioxidant context — Reviews describe alfalfa polyphenols and saponins relevant to oxidative and lipid balance; human confirmation remains limited.
(NIH/PMC — Aloo, 2021;
NIH/PMC — Quiñones-Muñoz, 2022)
Additional Studies Showing Promising Benefits*
• Digestive/comfort tradition* — Monograph notes traditional use for gentle digestion and nutrient support (vitamin K content).
(MSKCC — About Herbs)
• Antioxidant activity* — Experimental data on alfalfa extracts show antioxidant effects in models of oxidative stress (mechanistic).
(NIH/PMC — Raeeszadeh, 2022)
University / Medical Organization Context & Safety
• Vitamin K & meds — Alfalfa contains vitamin K (warfarin interaction; consult your clinician).
(MSKCC — Alfalfa)
• Autoimmune caution — L-canavanine in alfalfa has been linked to lupus-like flares; avoid with SLE history unless supervised.
(NIH/PubMed — Akaogi, 2006;
NIH/PubMed — Alcocer-Varela, 1985)
• Sprout food-safety — Raw sprouts are a known source of foodborne illness; vulnerable groups should avoid raw sprouts.

CDC — 2016 Advisory)
