I researched that alfalfa is high in sulfur and that a deficiency would cause issues with muscles. I have very tight muscles and decided to try alfalfa and see how it worked on myself. Within a couple of hours of taking the first dose, my leg muscles relaxed. I took if for a week and then stopped, and the muscle tension came back. Again within a couple of hours of taking it again, my leg muscles relaxed. I will continue to use it, gratefully.

My old favorite alfalfa was by GNC. But it wasn't organic and it wasn't easy to swallow. I did notice that If I took about 4-7 of the GNC pill, my knee pain would go away. I love these by Solaray! I take only about 2-3 each day and experience pain relief, plus these are organic and the capsules are easy to swallow.

I use to take turmeric/curcumin for osteoarthritis. It reduced the pain, but did not eliminate it. I am beyond impressed how well this works to rid my hands of pain (especially in winter when its at its worst). It used to feel like someone was stabbing my hand with a knife. Have been pain free since taking 2 capsules once a day for the last few years. Symptoms were gone after first week or two, and stayed away, if not forgetting to take.

Found this info that might prove helpful:

SOLARAY Organic Alfalfa is organically grown in accordance with the California Organic Foods Act of 1990 and certified by the Washington State Department of Agriculture. If grown in accordance with the California Organic Foods Act it is definitely NOT GMO.

Turns out Alfalfa buds are a natural anti inflammatory. Truly amazing FOOD. My 14 year old dog (80 lbs) was terribly arthritic, and was nearly symptom free, and acted like a pup again after giving her same dosage (I checked with the Vet, so knew it was safe).

I also like it is certified by the state in which I reside. I continually discover the considerable health benefits of this product online, reviews, health food stores. Had no idea how versatile it is.

Good product

I have been taking alfalfa for years after visiting a naturopathic doctor for various nagging health issues. Alfalfa was one of the supplements he suggested adding to my daily routine and I have not regretted it since day one.

Alfalfa is known for its ability to provide Vitamins A, B1, B6, C, E, and K4, as well as calcium, potassium, zinc, carotene, phosphorous and iron. All of these play a vital role in the strength and growth of our bones and in the maintenance of a healthy body. It is considered the richest land source of trace minerals. It can be used for so many ailments including (but not limited to of course): Curing kidney problems, and relieving fluid retention and swelling. Curing auto-immune disorder. Healing arthritis. Nourishing the digestive, skeletal, glandular and urinary system. Cleansing the blood, liver and bowel. Lowering cholesterol levels. Preventing strokes, and healing whooping cough.

What I love about this brand is that it contains no additives or fillers as well as that the alfalfa is contained in vegetarian capsules. This may not seem important to many, but for me as a dairy-free vegetarian, it is VERY important. This brand is affordable and is a great quality. I have taken many brands of alfalfa in the past and have not noticed near the results and benefits that I have since I switched over to this brand.

For me alfalfa has been a life saver. It has helped my not only my digestive system, but combined with a high quality probiotic, it has regulated my bowels and keeps me regular. For anyone who suffers from irregularity in your bathroom routine, I would suggest adding alfalfa to your supplements (just don't forget that you need probiotics as well). If I miss one dose, I already can feel and sense the difference. This is a staple in my daily supplement routine and I suggest it to people all the time when they complain about digestive and bowel issues.
