Precautions
Keep out of reach of children.

Not recommended for people suffering from lupus erythematosus.
For people on anticoagulant therapy, consult your doctor if you consume Alfalfa on a regular basis.
What are superfoods?
Also known as "superfoods", superfoods are natural foods (fruit, seeds, plants, seaweed, etc.) recognised for their exceptional properties and composition: rich in nutrients, proteins, minerals, vitamins and antioxidants… in concentrations that are generally higher than those of other foods. Their remarkable nutritional compositions are beneficial as part of a balanced, healthy diet.
Designed and manufactured in France
100% plant-based composition
No unnecessary additives: we've selected 100% pure superfoods so we avoid unnecessary ingredients in our products. There are no hidden additives, our compositions are totally transparent, 100% pure plant!
Plants selected for their benefits
The superfoods we offer are the result of extensive bibliographical research. These studies have enabled us to gain a better understanding of the virtues and benefits of each plant, so that we can offer you a selection of the most interesting superfoods for their nutritional value, their richness in active ingredients and their properties.
Controlled sourcing and traceability
All our superfoods and their suppliers are rigorously selected for their quality, the traceability of their plants and the way they are obtained, which respects the active plant ingredients. These products are controlled according to strict specifications to ensure their microbiological purity and the absence of contaminants (heavy metals, pesticides…).
Packaged in kraft doypacks
As part of our drive to reduce the use of plastic, we have decided to package our super foods in kraft paper doypacks, lined with PE / EVOH-PE film, which is essential for protecting the powders from moisture and oxygen. These bags can be recycled. Remember to put them in the appropriate selective sorting bin.
When should Alfalfa be eaten?
Alfalfa is a food that can be added to the meal of your choice, sprinkled on a dish, added to a soup or smoothie, or incorporated into a herbal tea at any time of day.
