The Power of Wheatgrass

Are you ready to feel amazing?

Dr. Ann Wigmore brought Wheatgrass to the attention of many people, including me. I am very grateful for her work in spreading awareness about this amazing superfood—and I have continued on my own mission.

Studies have continued to support the early findings of Dr. Wigmore, who found that drinking Wheatgrass is an excellent way for people to increase and sustain their energy levels naturally as well as fight off sickness and disease.

Abstract

A wide range of health benefits has been attributed to Wheatgrass, the young grass of the common wheat plant Triticum aestivum. Its components include chlorophyll, flavonoids, and vitamins C and E. Forms of Wheatgrass include fresh juice, frozen juice, tablets, and powders, with compositions varying according to their production processes, as well as to the growing conditions of the Wheatgrass. Laboratory in vitro studies, primarily using fermented wheat germ extract, have demonstrated anti-cancer potential and have identified apoptosis as a possible mechanism. In animal experiments, Wheatgrass demonstrated benefits in cancer prevention and as an adjunct to cancer treatment, as well as benefits to immunological activity and oxidative stress.

Clinical trials show that Wheatgrass may induce synergistic benefits to chemotherapy and may attenuate chemotherapy-related side effects, as well as benefit rheumatoid arthritis, ulcerative colitis, hematological diseases, diabetes, obesity, and oxidative stress. However, all the trials were small and a number of methodological problems arose. No adverse events of Wheatgrass have been reported, although some forms pose problems of tolerability. The popularity of Wheatgrass continues to grow. Nevertheless, the advantages seen in the clinical trials need to be proved in larger studies before clinical recommendations for the public can be given.

What we positively know is that Wheatgrass…

  • Detoxifies and cleanses your body
  • High alkalinity helps balance your body’s pH level
  • Strengthens your immune system
  • Insoluble fiber gently cleanses your digestive tract and promotes regularity.
  • Complete food with enzymes and all essential amino acids
  • Natural source of antioxidants to help repair damaged cells
  • Excellent source of beta-carotene, folic acid, and vitamin C

Maybe you should try Wheatgrass to see if it works better than the other vitamins that you’ve tried in the past.

  1. Hi Bobby, how are you? I hope you’re doing well. I’ve tried to grow Wheatgrass, but here in Texas was not successful. Where can I purchase some either for growing or Just juicing. What do you advise.
