Chronic malnutrition, due to a diet deficient in proteins, vitamins, trace elements and minerals, in particular vitamin A and iron, affects more than 2 billion people in the world.

At the origin of a very high mortality, in particular through a greater vulnerability to infectious diseases, malnutrition also promotes the appearance of disabilities.

In addition, the LCs are very inexpensive, i.e. €9 per year and per child.

After more than 20 years of research and development, natural alfalfa extracts have proven their effectiveness in fighting malnutrition very effectively thanks to their richness in proteins, essential amino acids, polyunsaturated fatty acids, vitamins and trace elements.
