Benefits
Sprouts have wonderful health benefits. Sprouts like alfalfa, clover, or sunflower sprouts are amongst the best ones, as they are such well-rounded, nutritionally packed foods that incredible sources of:
- Vitamins A, C, D, K, and B-Complex
- Minerals, including iron, calcium, zinc, magnesium, molybdenum, and silicon
- Chlorophyll, which is known to flush toxins from the body, nourish the blood, and provide healing to damaged cells and tissues
- All eight essential amino acids

Adding sprouts to your diet can improve so many aspects of your health. They are one of the best brain foods you can eat, providing an improvement in concentration, focus, memory, and overall neurological health. If you have an important task coming up, need to study, or just find yourself distracted and overwhelmed, eating sprouts can allow you to keep your mind centered and focused.
The eight essential amino acids found in alfalfa and sunflower sprouts are necessary for bone health by increasing bone strength and density. If you suffer from, or are at an increased risk of osteoporosis, sprouts can strengthen your bones and help you avoid bone fractures and breaks. Because sprouts are also loaded with saponins that have wonderful anti-inflammatory properties, you can heal from pain and aching while enjoying strong joints and bones.

- Osteoporosis
- Irritable bowel syndrome

- Colitis
- Menopausal symptoms
