Alfalfa juice is the liquid pressed from alfalfa leaves and stems. It delivers a concentrated supply of vitamins A, C, E, and K, plus minerals like calcium, magnesium, and iron. The juice owes its dark green color to chlorophyll.
People use this extract as a general tonic and to support digestion. Others reach for it to gently encourage appetite or to get more antioxidants. You can take it straight, diluted in water, or blended into other juices, often alongside meals.
Dosing changes with product strength. Avoid alfalfa juice during pregnancy and breastfeeding. The vitamin K content can blunt the effect of blood thinners, so anyone on those medications needs to talk to a doctor first. People with autoimmune conditions such as lupus should also be careful. Alfalfa seeds contain L-canavanine, which may provoke symptom flares in sensitive individuals. Pick a reputable brand to limit contaminant risk.
