Wheatgrass is a food prepared from the cotyledons of the common wheat plant, Triticum aestivum. Wheatgrass is one of the best sources of living chlorophyll available. Chlorophyll is the first product of sunlight and therefore contains more light energy than any other element. Chlorophyll is often called "concentrated sun power." It is similar to hemin in haemoglobin; the oxygen and iron-rich factor in our blood. It could be said that drinking lots of chlorophyll-rich juice is like getting a blood transfusion. It flushes the lymph system, nourishes and oxygenates the vascular system, cleanses the intestines, and is healing and soothing to all mucous membranes. Wheatgrass powder is a product obtained from imported organic wheat seeds cultivated for 7 days followed by further processing in controlled & hygienic conditions to preserve Nutritional contents.

Wheatgrass chlorophyll powder has only about 10-15 calories per teaspoon. It has no fat or cholesterol. It has nearly a gram of protein per teaspoon, and includes all almost all of the essential amino acids. It contains Vitamins A, B1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 8, and 12; C, E and K. A teaspoon of wheat grass powder contains around 15 mg of Calcium, 8 mcg Iodine, 3.5 mcg Selenium, 870 mcg Iron, 62 mcg Zinc, and many other minerals.

Please note that Wheatgrass is gluten-free and is generally well tolerated by all.

ABOUT WHEATGRASS (Chlorophyll) AND IT’S NUTRITIONAL VALUES

• 1. Wheatgrass is one of the best sources of living chlorophyll.
• 2. Wheatgrass contains up to 70% chlorophyll, which is an important blood builder. The chlorophyll molecules closely resemble that of the hemin molecule, the pigment which combines with protein to form haemoglobin. The major difference is the chlorophyll molecule contains magnesium as it‘s central atom, and the hemin molecule contains iron. The molecular structure of these two substances is almost identical in all other respects.
• 3. Chlorophyll is the molecule that absorbs sunlight and uses energy to synthesise carbohydrates from CO2 and water. This process is known as photosynthesis, a complex biochemical pathway.In this process the solar energy is used to convert water and carbon dioxide to glucose and other carbohydrates, and is the basis for sustaining life processes of all plants. Since animals and most humans obtain their food supply by eating plants, photosynthesis can be said to be the source of all life also.
• 4. Chlorophyll contains enzymes and superoxide dismutase, a copper-containing protein found in mature red blood cells. This enzyme decomposes superoxide radicals in the body into a more manageable form, thereby helping to slow down the aging process.
• 5. Chlorophyll is the first product of light and, therefore, contains more light energy than any other food element.
• 6. Wheatgrass contains crude chlorophyll (as opposed to pure) and can be taken orally, mixed with water, without any side effects. In addition, scientists have never found wheatgrass to be toxic in any amount when given to humans beings.
• 7. Science has proven that chlorophyll arrests grown and development of harmful bacteria.
• 8. Chzorophyll is anti-bacterial and can be used inside and outside the body as a natural healer.

• 18. Dr. Birsher, a research scientist, called chlorophyll ―concentrated sun power.‖ He said, ―chlorophyll increases the function of the heart, affects the vascular system, the intestines, the uterus, and the lungs.
• 19. Wheatgrass can dissolve the scars that are formed in the lungs from breathing acid gasses. The effect of carbon monoxide is minimized since chlorophyll increases hemoglobin production.
• 20 Wheatgrass is high in oxygen like all green plants that contain chlorophyll. This is beneficial because the brain and all body tissues function at an optimal level in a highly-oxygenated environment.
• 21 It is a nutritionally complete food which will sustain the growth and development. Wheatgrass has what is called the grass-juice factor, which has been shown to keep herbivorous animals alive practically indefinitely.
• 22. Wheatgrass is a superior detoxification agent compared to carrot juice and other fruits and vegetables.
• 23. The starch of the wheatgrass stored energy which when converted to simpler sugars is a quick energy source. It is especially good for athletes because it is a juice (when mixed with water) and is assimilated in 20 minutes or less, and uses very little of the body‘s energy to extract the nutrients.
• 24. Because 100 gms of wheatgrass powder equals 23 kg of produce nutritionally, it naturally shuts off the appestat in the brain.

Everyone‘s heard about several benefits of wheatgrass, but what are they specifically? One of the best things about wheatgrass is that it absorbs immediately into the bloodstream and gives immediate energy! Wheatgrass is an energizer: The vitality obtained from wheatgrass remarkable. 100 gms of wheatgrass powder equals 23 kg of organic vegetables in vitamins and minerals. Wheatgrass is nutritious . Wheatgrass contains most of the vitamins and minerals needed for human maintenance. It is a whole meal and a complete protein with about 30 enzymes and is approximately 70% chlorophyll. Wheatgrass is also an excellent source of calcium, magnesium, iron, phosphorus, potassium, sodium, sulphur, cobalt and zinc Wheatgrass is Blood builder: Wheatgrass is very high in enzymes and chlorophyll. It contains up to 70% chlorophyll, which is an important blood builder. The chlorophyll molecule closely resembles that of the hemoglobin molecule. The major difference is the chlorophyll molecule contains magnesium as its central atom, and the hemoglobin molecule contains iron. The molecular structure of these two substances is almost identical in all other respects.

Nutritious Wheatgrass contains most of the vitamins and minerals needed for human maintenance. It is a whole meal and a complete protein with about 30 enzymes and is approximately 70% chlorophyll. Wheatgrass is also an excellent source of calcium, magnesium, iron, phosphorus, potassium, sodium, sulphur, cobalt and zinc

Detoxifies Chlorophyll also acts as a cleansing agent in the human body, helping to purify the liver of toxins. Heavy metals such as mercury, aluminium and lead that can build up in the body, can be removed with the help of wheatgrass juice. Impacted waste in the colon is also broken up by chlorophyll during the detoxification process.

Boosts your immune system Wheatgrass is a living food, which can help the body fight off infection. Being highly anti-bacterial, wheatgrass juice helps to alkalise and detoxify the lymph and blood cells, allowing the body to rebuild and carry toxins out of the body quickly and effectively.

Weight Control: The starch of the wheatgrass is stored energy which when converted to simpler sugars is a quick energy source. It is especially very good for athletes because it is a juice form and assimilated in 20 minutes. Wheatgrass picks up 92 of the 102 minerals in the soil and contains all vitamins science has isolated. Because one ounce of juice equals two pounds of produce nutritionally, it naturally shuts off the appestat in the brain. It helps in weight control.

Wheatgrass is a body builder. It is very high in enzymes and chlorophyll. It contains up to 70% chlorophyll, which is an important body builder. The chlorophyll molecule closely resembles that of the hemin molecule, the pigment that combines with protein to form hemoglobin. The major difference is the chlorophyll molecule contains magnesium as its central atom, and hemin contains iron. The molecular structures of these two substances are almost identical in all other respects. It builds the blood. Wheatgrass has been proven to build red blood cells quickly after ingestion. It normalizes high blood pressure and stimulates healthy tissue cell growth. Wheatgrass cleanses the body. The many detergent factors of wheatgrass will drain the lymph system, which carries away many toxins from body cells. When an imbalance exists--sore tendons and joints, degenerative disease, etc--there is a natural build-up of mucous in the lymph in that area. Wheatgrass will break down the mucous and allow it to drain. Wheatgrass is a powerful cleanser and may start an immediate reaction with toxins and mucus in the stomach and thus may cause nausea. Chlorophyll will bring toxins stored away in cells or fatty tissues into the bloodstream.

Wheatgrass Oxygenates at cellular Level : Many of the benefits of wheatgrass can be attributed to the fact that it is a great oxygenator. It is the Hemoglobin that is responsible for carrying oxygen to the body cells. . Because wheatgrass increases the production of hemoglobin in the blood as a result of which more oxygen reaches the body cells. This explains much of it benefits. Cells that are rich in oxygen are strong. They resist free-radical damage, mutation, acidosis, and toxic accumulation. Oxygen in the bloodstream and cells clean up waste and keep the body functioning optimally.

Anti-Aging Wheatgrass juice is rich in antioxidants which fight against the free-radicals that accelerate the aging process. It can promote youthfulness as the high magnesium content in chlorophyll builds enzymes that restore both male and female sex hormones.

Thyroid: In vertebrate anatomy, the thyroid gland or simply, the thyroid, is one of the largest endocrine glands in the body, and is not to be confused with the parathyroid glands. The thyroid gland is found in the neck, inferior to (below) the thyroid cartilage (also known as the Adam's Apple) and at approximately the same level as the cricoid cartilage. The thyroid controls how quickly the body uses energy, makes proteins, and controls how sensitive the body should be to other hormones.

Diabetes: Diabetes is a disorder of metabolism—the way the body uses digested food for growth and energy. Most of the food people eat is broken down into glucose, the form of sugar in the blood. Glucose is the main source of fuel for the body. After digestion, glucose passes into the bloodstream, where it is used by cells for growth and energy. For glucose to get into cells, insulin must be present. Insulin is a hormone produced by the pancreas, a large gland behind the stomach. When people eat, the pancreas automatically produces the right amount of insulin to move glucose from blood into the cells. In people with diabetes, however, the pancreas either produces little or no insulin, or the cells do not respond appropriately to the insulin that is produced. Glucose builds up in the blood, overflows into the urine, and passes out of the body in the urine. Thus, the body loses its main source of fuel even though the blood contains large amounts of glucose.

Carcinogens : Dr. Chiu-nan Lai, Ph.D. at the University of Texas System Cancer Center, Dept. of Biology, Houston, Texas, has determined through using the Ames Bacterial Mutagenicity Test, that chlorophyll is the active factor in wheat sprout extract which inhibits the metabolic activity of carcinogens. A 20-year study of 2,000 telephone company workers has found that a natural ingredient in carrots and leafy green vegetables significantly reduced the risk of lung cancer in cigarette smokers. They determined that a diet high in beta-carotene negated the bad effects of 30 years of smoking. The National Cancer Institute reports that 19 of 21 studies over the years have indicated diets high in beta-carotene contribute to at least 40% risk reduction in developing some kinds of cancer.

Reduces Chemotherapy Adverse Effects in Breast Cancer ; http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17571966, Nutr Cancer. 2007;58(1):43-8, Wheatgrass improve hematological toxicity related to chemotherapy in breast cancer patients: a pilot study.Bar-Sela G, Tsalic M, Fried G, Goldberg H. Division of Oncology, Rambam Medical Center and Faculty of Medicine, Technion-Israel Institute of Technology, Haifa 31096, Israel. Myelotoxicity induced by chemotherapy may become life-threatening. Neutropenia may be prevented by granulocyte colony-stimulating factors (GCSF), and epoetin may prevent anemia, but both cause substantial side effects and increased costs. According to non-established data, wheat grass juice (WGJ) may prevent myelotoxicity when applied with chemotherapy. In conclusion, it was found that WGJ taken during FAC chemotherapy may reduce myelotoxicity, dose reductions, and need for GCSF support, without diminishing efficacy of chemotherapy.

Hair Growing; Hair is a filamentous biomaterial, that grows from follicles found in the dermis. The human body, apart from its glabrous skin, is covered in follicles which produce thick terminal and fine vellus hair. Most common interest in hair is focused on hair growth, hair types and hair care, but hair is also an important biomaterial primarily composed of protein, notably keratin. There are all different shades of blonde, brunette, black, and red hair.

Migraine Migraine is a debilitating condition characterized by moderate to severe headaches, and nausea, about 3 times more common in women than in men.The word migraine was borrowed from Old French migraigne (originally as "megrim", but respelled on a contemporary French model). The French term derived from a vulgar pronunciation of the Late Latin word hemicrania, itself based on Greek hemikrania, from Greek roots for "half" and "skull"

Treatment of Ulcerative Colitis http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11989836 , Scand J Gastroenterol. 2002 Apr;37(4):444-9. Wheat grass juice in the treatment of active distal ulcerative colitis: a randomized double-blind placebo-controlled trial. The use of wheatgrass (Triticum aestivum) juice for treatment of various gastrointestinal and other conditions had been suggested by its proponents for more than 30 years, but was never clinically assessed in a controlled trial. A preliminary unpublished pilot study suggested efficacy of wheat grass juice in the treatment of ulcerative colitis (UC). METHODS: A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study. One gastroenterology unit in a tertiary hospital and three study coordinating centers in three major cities in Israel.

CONCLUSION: Wheatgrass appeared effective and safe as a single or adjuvant treatment of active distal UC.

Cholesterol Lowering Effect of Wheatgrass - Ohtake et al. 1985a. Studies on the constituents of green juice from young barley leaves. Effect on dietarily induced hypercholesterolemia in rats Substances extracted from barley leaf juice lowered plasma cholesterol (after 9 days) of rats fed on a high cholesterol diet.

Appetite Suppressant: The starch of the wheatgrass is stored energy which, when converted to simpler sugars, is a quick energy source. It is especially good for athletes, because it is assimilated in 20 minutes. Wheat picks up 92 of the 102 minerals in the soil, and contains all the vitamins science has isolated. It naturally shuts off the appetite in the brain.

Antibiotic: Science has proven that chlorophyll will arrest growth and development of unfriendly bacteria. It acts to produce an unfavorable environment for bacterial growth, rather than by any direct action upon the bacteria themselves. Rapp and Gurney at Loyola University established that water-soluble chlorophyll inhibits the action of proteolytic bacteria (which break down protein into simpler substances) and enzymes. Hence when taken internally, (via mouth or rectum) it inhibits the putrefaction of protein by some of the bacteria that are commonly found in the digestive tract of meat eaters.

Anemia: Chlorophyll (wheatgrass) aids in rebuilding the bloodstream. Studies shown chlorophyll to be free of any toxic reaction. The red cell count has returned to normal within 4 to 5 days of the administration of chlorophyll, even in extremely anemic or low in red blood cell count.

Fertility: Wheatgrass has been used successfully restore fertility. It has been known to lower FSH numbers, the high magnesium is thought to build enzymes that restore sex hormones. Additionally, regular consumption of wheat grass helps to balance PH levels in the body to make a more suitable environment for ova and sperm.

Deodorizer : Dr. F. Howard Westcott reported that when chlorophyll is taken internally in adequate quantity, it reduces or eliminates offensive body and breath odors. His studies showed it effective in neutralizing obnoxious odors in the mouth from food, beverages, tobacco, and metabolic changes (halitosis). It effectively neutralized obnoxious odors from perspiration due to physical exercise, nervousness, menstrual odors, etc.

Skin Disorders: The bland soothing effect of chlorophyll (wheatgrass juice) is very beneficial to the treatment of various skin diseases involving the outer and underlying layers of the skin, including: itching and burning of the rectum; ivy poisoning; weeping and dry eczema, and even in conditions caused by insect bites or infection. For first and second-degree burns, the use of chlorophyll has been established as an outstanding aid. Sunburn can also be alleviated by the use of chlorophyll ointment at the time of exposure. This can reduce discomfort, and possibly infection, to a minimum. Applied after severe sunburn, it has the same gratifying results as on regular burns. The same can be said of X-ray burns. Chlorophyll can also reduce or eliminate foul odor associated with burns. Used in wash water, it adds softness to the face and hands. In the bath, it is most soothing. It stops bleeding, eases itching, and helps sores and pimples to heal

Dangerous Chemicals: Dr. Earp Thomas found that an ounce of wheatgrass juice in a gallon of fluoridated water would turn the fluorine into a harmless calcium-phosphate-fluoride compound.. Dr. Thomas further discovered that fruits and vegetables contaminated by sprays were thoroughly cleaned and the negative food transformed by wash water with a wisp of wheatgrass placed in the water.

Arterioscelerosis: Dr. Theodore M. Rudolph says that daily use of chlorophyll is most beneficial, at least to a certain degree, and in combination with other accepted methods of treatment in hardening of the arteries (arteriosclerosis), high blood pressure (hypertension) and even arthritis. It seems that the ability of chlorophyll to combine with oxygen, and its cleansing ability, contributes much to the removal of foreign matter from the walls of the blood vessels thus bringing the desired relief.

Allergies: Allergies are caused by digestive problems. Everything taken as nourishment has to be assimilated by the digestive process. Enzymes must be present in order for food to be assimilated, and of course, nature provides us with complete foods with enzymes for digestion. Toxemia and Deficiency, especially a deficiency of enzymes, can certainly be seen as the root causes for all disease.

The nutritional value of wheatgrass is so high that many people don't feel those "cravings" that lead to overeating. Some other amazing benefits of Wheatgrass: Wheatgrass helps stop the growth and development of harmful bacteria. It acts to produce an unfavorable environment for bacterial growth, rather than by any direct action upon the bacteria themselves. Water-soluble chlorophyll inhibits the action of proteolytic bacteria (which break down protein into simpler substances) and enzymes.

Chlorophyll is beneficial in the treatment of skin diseases, first and second degree burns. The bland soothing effect of chlorophyll (wheatgrass) ointments are very beneficial in the treatment of various skin diseases involving the outer and underlying layers of the skin. For first and second-degree burns, the use of chlorophyll has been established as an outstanding aid. Sunburn can also be alleviated by the use of chlorophyll ointment at the time of exposure. It can reduce discomfort, and possibly infection, to a minimum. Applied after severe sunburn, it has the same gratifying results as on regular burns. The same can be said of X-ray burns. Chlorophyll can also reduce or eliminate foul odor associated with burns. You can drink wheatgrass juice for all of the benefits of chlorophyll instead of using ointments; Chlorophyll is effective in clearing up Sinuses. Chlorophyll packs inserted into the sinuses had a drying effect, clearing up congestion, and gives immediate relief. Congested head colds were cleared up within 24 hours. Regularly taking wheatgrass can help eliminate and fight off colds!

Chlorophyll The molecular structures of Hemin‘ contained in human blood and ‗chlorophyll‘ are very similar. The arrangement and number of hydrogen, nitrogen and oxygen molecules are the same in both the diagrams. wheatgrass juice is remarkably similar to our own blood. One of the key points of the research found that chlorophyll in wheatgrass juice and hemoglobin (the oxygen-binding substance in red blood cells) were nearly identical molecules. The only actual difference is that the central element in chlorophyll is magnesium and in hemoglobin it is iron. Wheatgrass contains 70 % chlorophyll and Magnesium is there in the chlorophyll which is very essential and beneficial to about 30 enzymes in our body. Therefore it absorbs in human blood very quickly. There is maximum chlorophyll and many beneficial substances in Wheatgrass and therefore Dr. Ann Wigmore called it as “green blood‘. It is proved by various experiments conducted around the world that Wheatgrass should help cure Anemia.

Chlorophyll has shown to benefit people with Asthma, Ulcers, skin disorders, varicose veins, swelling of the intestine, healing wounds, etc. Regular use of Wheatgrass powder helps remove harmful toxins from the body. Chlorophyll has no side effects at all. It has no side eff It has been proved by research that the presence of Wheatgrass chlorophyll reduces the harmful effects of radiation. It is therefore recommended to cancer patients during chemotherapy / radiotherapy.

MISCELLANEOUS: Chlorophyll stimulates peristalsis, improves the intestines, and is a mild diuretic. E. Bircher, research scientist, says chlorophyll increases the functions of the heart, affects the vascular system, the intestines, the uterus and the lungs. It raises the basic nitrogen exchange, and is therefore a tonic, which considering its stimulating properties, cannot be compared with any other. In the investigations of chlorophyll, Doctors Redpath and Davis, Ear, Nose and Throat Specialists at Temple University, treated over 1000 patients ranging in age from very young children to elderly people. They were suffering from a wide variety of ailments such as head cold, acute catarrhal inflammation, hay fever, and acute sinus infections. Dr. Gurskin, in commenting on his associates‘ experience with chlorophyll writes, ―It is interesting to note that there is not a single case recorded, in which either improvement or cure has not taken place.‖ For drivers of automobiles, students on the night before exams, or before an evening of entertainment, the chewing of wheatgrass has a tendency to banish fatigue, and to bring a new alertness.

NECESSITY OF TRANSFORMING WHEATGRASS INTO POWDER Now a days Wheatgrass is available in the form of fresh grass, fresh juice, powder and tablets. The question arises - What is the best option? Basically, chewing the leaves of fresh Wheatgrass and spitting out the fiber waste is simple way to take wheatgrass. Another concept of obtaining juice of Wheatgrass in an electric mixer / juicer. Following are the main inconvenience and difficulties experienced during growing wheatgrass at home:

• 1. Unavailability of suitable space, manpower, time, proper sunlight, etc.
• 2. Unavailability of organic soil.
• 3. It is difficult to grow Wheatgrass in adverse climatic conditions around the year.
• 4. Birds eat the wheat sown in pots.
• 5. Requirement of fridge to store the Wheatgrass, mixer / juicer and availability of electricity.
• 6. The nutritious fibers are strained out and wasted during extracting the juice.
• 7. Difficulty in transporting Wheatgrass or its juice to far off places.
• 8. Many people dislike the taste of fresh Wheatgrass juice. Though some manufacturers also provide Wheatgrass tablets but Wheatgrass Powder has more advantages than tablet form as follows:
• 9. Wheatgrass Powder is natural whereas manufacturing of tablets requires many processes.
• 10. A few binding elements / chemicals may be required to make the tablets.
• 11. The original Chlorophyll is reformed after mixing of powder in water. The therapeutic value of wheatgrass ( mixed in water) increases because it mixes well with saliva and easily digested.
• 12. •Wheatgrass Powder can be mixed with milk to form a paste and can be applied on skin. The above observations have inspired to develop Wheatgrass in powder form. Following are the advantages of Wheatgrass in Powder form:
• 13. Powder is more convenient to store and transport to long distances. It has more shelf life (about 2 years) than fresh grass or juice (30 minutes).
• 14. It is very simple and convenient to use. Simply mix the powder with water. obtain the green liquid, as in fresh juice, by mixing a Tsp of powder in a glass of water. All the beneficial nutrients remain in powder as in fresh grass.
• 15. It can be manufactured all year round in suitable climate areas and packed for use.
• 16. It can be carried easily and conveniently while traveling. • Get the rid of tiring and boring job of extracting juice
• 17. All the dietary fibers remain intact in powder than juice.
