Chlorophyll |
 |
Wheatgrass is one of the richest, most natural sources of chlorophyll. Known as the "blood" of plants, it is
said to be useful as an anti-inflammatory, purification, as well as basic renewal. The anti-inflammatory part
of chlorophyll, called Superoxide Dismutase, plays a vital role in reducing inflammations throughout the
body. The purification attribute stops the growth of bacteria in wounds, eliminates odors of the body,
reduces bad breath, and removes chemicals from your body through detoxification. The renewal and
rebuilder of blood is due to the similarity of chlorophyll to hemoglobin. They are virtually identical, with the
exception of the central atom (Chlorophyll contains magnesium in the central atom, whereas Hemoglobin
contains iron.)

Protein |
 |
Wheatgrass contains approximately 25% of the recommended daily value of protein. (Meat has 17% and
eggs have 12%) The protein in grass is in the form of poly peptides (shorter and simpler chains of amino
acids) which are deposited more efficiently into the bloodstream and tissue. Protein is essential in the
building and repairing of tissues, and is an important building block for your bones, muscles, cartilage,
and skin.

Detoxification |
 |
Wheatgrass contains enzymes which digest the toxins in your body. The toxins accumulated in your body
are from foods not able to rid or digest themselves. Superoxide Dismutase (SOD) and P4D1 are part of
the digestive enzyme that play vital roles in slowing the cell deterioration process thus slowing the aging
process. P4D1 also serves as an anti inflammatory. Using PureGreen Foods organic wheatgrass you will
experience a cleansing process, don't panic, this means it's working!

Beta Carotene |
 |
Beta Carotene consumes most of the carotene found in green plants. Beta Carotene is an excellent
source of Vitamin A, which is useful towards strengthening your immune system which reduces your
chance of infection. Vitamin A is an important aspect of a functionally correct metabolism, it is said to
enhance the production of RNA which is essential in renewal, protects your body from viruses, builds and
repairs bones, strengthens skin and nails, and strengthens mucous membranes. Too much of Vitamin A
from animals (retin) may be toxic, your body stores any amount of vitamin A from plants (beta carotene)
until it is needed. |
