Top TEN
Benefits
of Alfalfa
Nature’s
Anti-Inflammatory
Anti-inflammatory
Saponins, chlorophyll,
and the smorgasbord of
minerals present in
Alfalfa can help reduce
inflammation anywhere in
the body.
Used theraperutically,
(1 tablespoon per meal),
many have reported
wonderful reduction in
inflammation.
Nature’s
Digestive Aid
Digestive Aid:
Many people have discovered the benefits of the
leaves of Alfalfa … in the raw form, the leaves
contain several digestive enzymes:
• Lipase – a fat splitting enzyme
• Amylase – which acts on starches
• Protease – which digests protein
• Emulsin – works on sugar & carbs
• Pectinaze – an enzyme that forms
a jelly from soluble fibre
• Cellulase – breaks down plant fibres
• Others
People have
experienced wonderful
benefits (natural
digestive enzymes)
from swallowing 3 to 6
tablets with each
meal.
Much less
bloating
Natural Diuretic
Natural Diuretic:
The high mineral content helps
maintain the delicate water balance
in the body.
Ten tablets contain 75 mg of
potassium, an essential electrolyte
in preventing water retention.
CAUTION: People may urinate
more than usual at the beginning …
if so, they are getting rid of
excessive fluid.
Natural Pain Relief
Pain Relief for:
• rhematoid arthritis
• gout
• rheumatism
Alfalfa aids in regulation of the
alkaline/acid balance in the body.
It helps dissolve uric acid so it passes
through the kidneys. Excessive uric acid
in joints causes inflammation and pain.
It contains saponins … an anti-stiffness
factor in green plants.
Natural Support for
Healthy
Bladder & Kidneys
Kidney & Bladder Benefits:
Alfalfa increases one’s alkaline
reserves.
• makes the urine less acidic
(therefore, less irritating to the
urinary tract)
• it increases the kidney’s filtration
rate
The average vegetable is from
1 – 10 units alkaline.
… Alfalfa is 130 units alkaline!

contaminant tests
are conducted on
EACH botanical
ingredient
2. Highest Chorophyll
Content
For the highest amount of chlorophyll content
(cleansing properties) in the leaves, harvest MUST
occur at peak maturity.
Shaklee ONLY harvests at peak maturity.
3. Mature Plants ONLY
Many ‘GREEN’ health drinks are
made from the green leaves of
young plants.
The concentration of nutrients
is much less in the green
leaves of shallow-rooted, young
green plants … compared to
the green leaves of deeprooted, mature green plants.

4. Leaves ONLY
(No Stalk & Stem)
Once the plants are harvested, and cured/dried, the
LEAVES ONLY are separated from the less desirable stem
and stalk of the plant.
Shaklee uses ONLY the NUTRIENT DENSE LEAVES which
they mill into a green-coloured alfalfa flour, which is pressed
into tablet form.
5. Cold Process
If the harvesting … drying … and tableting
process is done carefully without high heat:
• the tablets will not only contain a nutrient
smorgasbord,
• but also be very rich in essential plant
enzymes, which are the organic catalysts
that promote chemical balance in the body!
Shaklee GUARANTEES low
temperature processes!
