Organic Wheatgrass
“When [wheatgrass is] freshly made into a drink, chlorophyll contains synthesized sunshine, plus the electric current necessary for the revitalisation of the body – and it will open up areas of the brain that man as yet knows nothing about”
（RevJ.L.MorＡn）
Wheatgrass is a type of plant that ripens to become a red wheat berry. Being a special kind of wheat, it can produce concentrated green pigment, active enzymes, vitamins and other important nutrients. Wheatgrass contains an abundance of vitamins and active enzymes, which makes it the freshest source of food, especially in winter.
The amount of vitamins, minerals and amino acids contained in one ounce of wheatgrass juice is equivalent to the substances contained in 2.5 pounds of leafy vegetables. Wheatgrass is the richest natural source of nutrients. It contains Vitamins A, B, B-17, C, E and K. It is also the best source of minerals, calcium, potassium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, sodium, cobalt, zinc, sulphur, and 17 other types of amino acids and active enzymes.
Chlorophyll is the basic element of all plants, and makes up more than 70% in wheat grass juice. Chlorophyll molecules are very similar to the molecules found in our red blood cells. These molecules have hematopoietic functions that control anaemia, reduce the risk of cancer, and help to detoxify the body.
You can get extraordinary energy from wheat grass juice. Wheat grass juice only requires 20 minutes to be absorbed into our blood on an empty stomach. The energy that comes with it can last for the entire day. Wheat grass juice contains most of the vitamins and minerals we need every day. It also contains 30 types of active enzymes, which makes it a good source of protein. The only difference is that chlorophyll contains magnesium, but haemoglobin contains iron. Chlorophyll can break down toxins emitted from carbon dioxide, and release oxygen, thereby inhibiting and reducing anaerobic bacteria (a disease-producing microorganism). Wheat grass juice can produce red blood cells quickly. It can also control high blood pressure and stimulate growth of tissues.
