Gentle FAQs
Will alfalfa “cure” gout?
No. It may support uric-acid balance as part of a broader plan (diet, hydration, medical care).
How long until I notice changes?
Some people report urinary comfort within 1–2 weeks. Joint comfort takes longer and depends on diet and medical management.
Can I drink it daily?
Use short cycles (e.g., 15 days on / 7 off) and check in with your clinician—especially if you take medications.
