If You Have An Autoimmune Disorder
There have been reported cases of alfalfa supplements causing the reactivation of lupus in some people. This effect is believed to be as a result of possible immune-stimulating effects of the amino acid, L-cavanine, which is found in alfalfa.
Therefore, it is best and advised that those who have lupus [9] or some autoimmune disorders avoid it.
If You are Pregnant
Because raw alfalfa sprouts and supplement products derived from alfalfa seeds come with potential food safety risks (such as serving as a reservoir for the food or e pathogens like E. coli, listeria, and salmonella), pregnant people should avoid these products.
