Semester 4, Week 10, Day 7: Alfalfa Constituents

The constituents of alfalfa are done so there will be a new herb tomorrow.

The kids are eating breakfast. The things that were due this week are done and I'm working on next week's assignments.  I'm shooting for Saturday to finish them all up.  Wish me luck!  I'll have to work on a new herbarium in that time frame as well since I will start the last one I have prepared tomorrow.  Alfalfa is far more nutrient them medicine but it's still great information. I'm going to keep this short and get my breakfast eaten so I can get to work.

I decided to add the documents for the constituents, side effects, nutrients, and indications to the side bar on this page.  It will make the Herbal List page easier to use and put this information right here and easier to find.  Let me know your thoughts! Love and Light!

On to the constituents of alfalfa!

Polyphyrins: These are needed for hemoglobin function. They bind iron and escort oxygen to the various tissues of the body. Too much can be a problem (Mayo Clinic). (Alfalfa)

Vitamin B5 (Pantothenic acid): Helps synthesize coenzyme-A and metabolize carbs and fat.

Vitamin B7 (Biotin): This vitamin (formerly called Vitamin H) is a coenzyme (R) and is great for hair and skin (Alfalfa).

Have a Great Day!
