Alfalfa Extract Medicago Sativa L Saponin-Rich Botanical Extract for Digestive Bone & Metabolic Support
No custom attributes available for this product.
Alfalfa Extract is a concentrated botanical preparation derived from the whole plant of Medicago sativaL. (alfalfa), a perennial legume in the Fabaceae family. Unlike leaf powder, this extract is standardized for its high saponin content (triterpenoid glycosides) and available in 10:1, 15:1, or 20:1 herb-to-extract ratios. Processed via gentle solvent extraction to preserve bioactive compounds, it is widely used in capsules, tablets, and powdered supplements to support digestive health, bone wellness, and metabolic balance.
