Anyone else taking alfalfa?

[silver_penny]

Alfalfa is supposed to be really beneficial if taken in the third trimester in preventing pph (post-partum hemmorage).I was wondering if anyone else is or is planning on taking alfalfa as part of their supplements. I hear a bunch on rlt, but nothing on alfalfa

It's also suppose to help increase the baby's vitamin K concentration..... however, I've recently read that alfalfa poses a listeriosis risk.

just looked it up, and it seems that listeria is mostly associated with the alfalfa sprouts and not the tablets. I'm currently taking the tablets, so should be alright on that front

Hi

thanks for the heads up; sounds interesting. Looks like they are pretty widely available in the UK so will look into it.
