I have lupus. Can I take Isagenix products that contain Ionic Alfalfa?

July 24, 2009 by Isagenix Nutritional Sciences

Ionic Alfalfa(tm) is a-OK

Yes. Ionic Alfalfa is completely safe for lupus patients. Alfalfa sprouts and seeds are not safe because of concentrated content of a non-protein amino acid called canavanine. Canavanine has been shown to potentially induce or aggravate lupus symptoms.

Ionic Alfalfa™  is a blend of ionic minerals with alfalfa juice that is extracted from mature plants at mid-growth stage (not the sprouts or seeds). As a further safety precaution, the ingredient is third-party tested to be ensure no presence of canavanine.
