Alfalfa supplements contain natural plant estrogens, which might be helpful in reducing the effects of early menopause. Women who take birth control pills should avoid alfalfa supplements because they could interfere with birth control mechanisms and increase the risk of pregnancy. Women who are pregnant should never take alfalfa supplements since they may cause the uterus to contract, resulting in miscarriage or early labor.
People who take immune suppressants or corticosteroids may have trouble with alfalfa supplements. Anyone who is on transplant rejection medications should avoid the herbal supplement since it has been linked to greater immune response in the body. This could negate the effects of drugs meant to reduce the response of the immune system so that a transplant will not be rejected.
Alfalfa seeds may be harmful to people with medical conditions that are frequently treated with steroids, like lupus and rheumatoid arthritis. Immune response may be heightened and cause adverse reactions in people with these conditions. People with peanut allergies shouldn
