Coral Alfalfa is a dietary supplement manufactured in the USA for Coral Club. Each capsule carries 250 mg of alfalfa juice powder and 150 mg of alfalfa leaf powder, and the bottle holds 120 capsules.
How the label counts, and how long a bottle lasts
The ingredient panel is stated per 2-capsule serving — 500 mg of juice powder and 300 mg of leaf powder — while the pack summary gives the per-capsule figures of 250 mg and 150 mg. Both describe the same product.
Coral Club directs two capsules twice a day with a meal, so the daily amount is four capsules: 1000 mg of juice powder and 600 mg of leaf powder. A bottle of 120 covers 30 days.
What the manufacturer states
According to Coral Club, the alfalfa plant contains naturally occurring phytonutrients and trace amounts of certain vitamins, minerals and other plant compounds, and has long been traditionally valued in herbal combinations to support general wellness.* The card adds that alfalfa extract provides phytonutrients that support healthy cholesterol levels and the body's natural elimination processes.*
Juice powder and leaf powder are different materials
Leaf powder is the dried leaf, ground. Juice powder is pressed plant juice, dried — a different fraction, richer in what dissolves and poorer in fiber. The card declares no concentration ratio for the juice powder, so how much fresh plant 250 mg represents cannot be established from the label.
Two precautions the card does not carry
Vitamin K. Alfalfa leaf is a notable dietary source of vitamin K, which works against the action of warfarin and related anticoagulants. Studies of warfarin patients show that swings in vitamin K intake move anticoagulation control, so anyone on such a medicine should speak to a physician before starting, and keep intake steady rather than stopping and starting. A source is listed under Research.
Autoimmune conditions. Alfalfa is commonly advised against for people with an autoimmune disease, on account of the amino acid L-canavanine the plant contains. Anyone with such a diagnosis should take medical advice before use rather than rely on a general wellness framing.
An unresolved point on the capsule shell
The card states two different things. Among the product labels it reads "Capsules made from beef gelatin". In the ingredient panel the other ingredients list reads "Capsule (hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, water)" — a plant-derived shell.
Both cannot be true. Until Coral Club resolves it, an animal-derived ingredient in the shell cannot be ruled out. The same discrepancy appears on the cards for Coral Boswellia, Coral Artichoke and Coral Burdock Root.
Labels, storage and shelf life
Coral Club declares the product gluten free, Halal certified and free of soy. The other ingredients are microcrystalline cellulose, calcium carbonate, silicon dioxide and magnesium stearate.
Coral Club's stated precaution is that anyone pregnant or nursing should consult a healthcare practitioner before taking the product. Shelf life is 2 years. Store in a dry place, protected from direct sunlight, at a temperature not exceeding 77°F, out of reach of children.
