They are the ones you commonly see at  salad bars.  They stimulate cell activity, which strengthens the immune system.  Alfalfa sprouts are a source of another compound known as saponins.  Saponins lower the bad cholesterol and fat but not the good HDL fats.  Saponins also stimulate the immune system by increasing the activity of natural killer cells such as T- lymphocytes and interferon. The saponin content of alfalfa sprouts multiplies 450% over that of the un-sprouted seed. Sprouts also contain an abundance of highly active antioxidants that prevent DNA destruction and protect us from the ongoing effects of aging. Sprouting alfalfa seeds at home is easy and can be done with minimal effort and equipment.
