Wheat grass is used as a general health tonic. It could improve the overall quality of the health. It is packed with essential vitamins, minerals and amino acids. It is one of the richest sources of beta-carotene, vitamins B12, C and E. It contains iron, magnesium, calcium, phosphorous and potassium. For vegetarians, wheatgrass is one of the best sources of proteins. The nutrients in wheatgrass account for its therapeutic properties.

After a period of time, the body builds up toxins and natural waste products from chemicals, pollution and overindulging. A process of cleansing the internal system, or detoxifying, helps rid the body of harmful chemicals that may be contributing to fatigue, illness, pain, and poor digestion. Cleansing can be achieved through various modalities, including fasting, saunas, and a range of vitamins, herbs, and nutrients.

Boosts immune cell function: The scavenging activity of free radicals weakens the immune system, causes genetic mutation and reduces vitality. Wheat grass is a powerful antioxidant. It is a good source of dietary antioxidants such as beta-carotene, vitamin C and vitamin E. Studies suggest that wheat grass supplement could reduce oxidative stress. (Shyam R, Singh SN, Vats P, Singh VK, Bajaj R, Singh SB, Banerjee PK. “Wheat grass supplementation decreases oxidative stress in healthy subjects: a comparative study with spirulina.” J Altern Complement Med. 2007 Oct;13(8):789-91). Wheat grass could also counter oxidative stress triggered by a high fat diet. In addition, wheat grass also helps to reduce the total cholesterol level and boosts the high-density lipoprotein (HDL) or the healthy cholesterol level in the blood. Intake of wheat grass helps to elevate the levels of antioxidant enzymes in the body. (Sethi J, Yadav M, Dahiya K, Sood S, Singh V, Bhattacharya SB. “Antioxidant effect of Triticum aestivium (wheat grass) in high-fat diet-induced oxidative stress in rabbits.” Methods Find Exp Clin Pharmacol. 2010 May;32(4):233-5).

Beneficial for cancer patients: Wheat grass might reduce the side effect of chemotherapy treatment in cancer patients. Clinical trials suggest that wheat grass could prevent myelotoxicity induced by chemotherapy. Myleotoxicity damages the bone marrow and suppresses production of immune cells, increasing the risk of infections in cancer patients. Conventional drugs used for treating this condition produce severe side effects. Wheat grass could strengthen the immune system in cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy without producing adverse side effects. (Bar-Sela G, Tsalic M, Fried G, Goldberg H. “Wheat grass juice may improve hematological toxicity related to chemotherapy in breast cancer patients: a pilot study.” Nutr Cancer. 2007;58(1):43-8).

Wheat grass for ulcerative colitis: Wheat grass is beneficial for the gastrointestinal tract. Studies suggest that intake of wheat grass juice helps to reduce ulcerative colitis flare-ups. It is characterized by inflammation of the lining of the colon and rectum. Abnormal immune response to the bacteria present in the gut is believed to trigger this digestive disorder. Wheat grass could reduce rectal bleeding owing to this condition. Moreover, intake of wheat grass for reducing the symptoms of ulcerative colitis is not associated with serious side effects. (Ben-Arye E, Goldin E, Wengrower D, Stamper A, Kohn R, Berry E. “Wheat grass juice in the treatment of active distal ulcerative colitis: a randomized double-blind placebo-controlled trial.” Scand J Gastroenterol. 2002 Apr;37(4):444-9).

Beneficial for thalassemia patients: Thalassemia is an inherited blood disorder characterized by excessive destruction of the red blood cells. Blood transfusion at regular intervals is the only option for increasing the lifespan of thalassemia major patients. Clinical trials suggest that wheat grass improves the quality of life in thalassemia patients by reducing the requirement of blood transfusion. Wheat grass tablets help to boost the hemoglobin level and lower the amount of blood needed for transfusion. (Singh K,Pannu MS, Singh P, Singh J. “Effect of wheat grass tablets on the frequency of blood transfusions in Thalassemia Major.” Indian J Pediatr. 2010 Jan;77(1):90-1; Marawaha RK, Bansal D, Kaur S, Trehan A. “Wheat grass juice reduces transfusion requirement in patients with thalassemia major: a pilot study.” Indian Pediatr. 2004 Jul;41(7):716-20).

The wheat grass used in our Wheat Grass Pills is certified organic and produces high concentrations of chlorophyll, enzymes and vitamins. The wheatgrass seed begins its journey absorbing natural nutrients from a soil prepared using organic methods containing NO genetically engineered products, in preparation to become a tall, fruitful plant. At this stage, the plant has the nutrient profile similar to that of other leafy green vegetables and will continue to grow until these nutrients reach their peak levels. Organic wheat grass contains vitamins A, B complex, C and E, trace elements calcium, iron, magnesium and potassium, enzymes and amino acids. As an antioxidant, organic wheat grass can boost the immune system and scavenge free radicals. Organic wheatgrass has been shown to be a powerful body detoxifier. Its high chlorophyll content cleanses the liver, tissues and cells and purifies the blood. Organic wheatgrass also contains folic acid, iron, and vitamin B-12 which are required for proper red blood cell production.
