A member asked:
Does alfalfa have estrogen?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No, but...: ...Alfalfa contains isoflavones which have a low and variable degree of estrogen like activity in animal models. One would have to consume a lot of alfalfa to have much of an effect, and there are side effects associated with this supplement which would need to be seriously considered first.

Yes, kind of: Alfalfa contains what are called "phytoestrogens, " or plant estrogens. They are found only in plants, but chemically they behave like Estrogens in a human body. But - .The majority of human estrogen is called estradiol, which is not found at all in plants.
