Alfalfa, "The King of Plants"

alfalfa

Alfalfa is sometimes called the Father of all Foods, or The King of Plants, because it is extremely high in many vitamins and minerals. Just some of the vitamins Alfalfa is rich in are calcium, iron, magnesium, sodium, potassium, phosphorus, sulfur, and chlorine, as well as trace elements essential for the overall health and vitality of the human body.

Alfalfa is an excellent source of both Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Vitamin A helps prevent cancer and boost the body's immune system, while Vitamin K can help with peptic ulcers plus it promotes healthy blood clotting.

Alfalfa is often the herb used in chlorophyll supplements, because it contains higher amounts of chlorophyll than any other plant. Alfalfa also has eight essential amino acids, and these can't be made by the human body, they have to be acquired through the foods we eat or supplements we take.

Alfalfa is also often used in combination with many other herbal supplements, because it allows the body to quickly absorb, assimilate and use the other plant based elements. Additionally, alfalfa is a natural source of fluoride so it helps to prevent tooth decay plus it can even help rebuild decayed teeth too.
