Alfalfa concentrate - An all-natural product produced without chemical extraction. It contains highly concentrated amounts of vital nutrients delivered in a natural state for maximum absorption. Alfalfa concentrate is an excellent source of:
- Chlorophyll
- Antioxidants
- Phytonutrients / Xanthophylls
- Vitamin K and B Vitamins
- Protein and Amino Acids
- Omega 3 and Omega 6 Fatty Acids
Chlorophyll - Alfalfa concentrate contains only naturally available chlorophyll. Chlorophyll is known for its ability to eliminate a variety of odors from breath, gas, body and feces.
Antioxidants - Alfalfa concentrate contains a well-balanced, natural blend of mixed caroteinoids and mixed tocopherols, classes of antioxidants which function as scavengers of highly reactive, dangerous and destructive free radicals in both blood and body tissues. Reducing free radicals minimizes a variety of diseases and leads to a greater degree of overall health.
Phytonutrients / Xanthophylls - Alfalfa concentrate contains a healthy blend of the phytonutrients luten, zeaxanthin and violaxanthine. These xanthophylls are vital to overall health, particularly eye health. They help to prevent cataracts and many cancers.
Vitamin K and B Vitamins - Alfalfa concentrate contains an excellent source of Vitamin K (phylloquinone), which is vital to the formation of red blood cells critical for clotting and strong bones. Alfalfa concentrate also provides numerous B vitamins thiamine, riboflavin, pyridoxine, choline and biotin which are important for vitality and overall health.
Protein and Amino Acids - The total crude protein content of alfalfa concentrate is more than half of the product weight. Rubisco protein (ribulose I, 5 biphosphate carboxlase-oxygenase) is the major protein. Rubisco has an extremely high concentration of essential amino acids and an overall balance of all the amino acids for maximum nutrition.
Omega 3 and Omega 6 Fatty Acids - Alfalfa concentrate contains a balanced mix of omega 3 linoleic acid and omega 6 linileic acid. Omegas are well-known for ensuring normal skin functions including healthy coat and reduced shedding.
Calcium and other minerals - Alfalfa concentrate is a good source of calcium, which is essential for proper bone growth, nerve transmission and muscle functioning.
