We explored the potential of alfalfa as a source of natural compounds that may help alleviate gout by inhibiting xanthine oxidase (XO), an enzyme linked to increased uric acid levels and gout flare-ups.
The study utilized a streamlined method that combined ingredient profiling and molecular docking analysis to efficiently identify and evaluate compounds in alfalfa that interact with XO. We found that by comparing extracts of alfalfa with and without XO protein, we could quickly narrow down to twelve key compounds that are potential xanthine oxidase inhibitors (XOIs).
Among these, nine showed a strong affinity for XO, including well-known compounds such as salicylic acid and apigenin. Notably, some of these compounds demonstrated higher inhibitory effects on XO compared to allopurinol, a common gout medication.
These findings suggest that alfalfa is a promising natural resource for developing effective treatments for gout, benefiting those who seek alternatives to conventional medications. Overall, our work highlights an exciting direction for nutraceutical development based on plant-based compounds.

Gout solution
Alfalfa has been transformative for my dad; after years of taking alfalfa supplements, he no longer remembers what gout feels like. Many of his friends switched from traditional gout treatments to this herb and are pleased with the results. The quality of this product is outstanding—natural ingredients, comfortable tablets, and convenient dosing. The benefits are extraordinary!

Finger growth reduced
Alfalfa is a fantastic green herb, rich in vitamins, minerals, and chlorophyll, which is effective for gout. I consumed it for a long time, and the growth on the bone of my finger disappeared, leaving me with a flat finger.
