Alfalfa leaves are possibly safe for most adults. However, taking alfalfa seeds long-term is likely unsafe. Alfalfa seed products may cause reactions that are similar to the autoimmune disease called lupus erythematosus. Alfalfa might also cause some people's skin to become extra sensitive to the sun. Wear sunblock outside, especially if you are light-skinned. Further needed any help I will suggest you personal conversation.
