Wheatgrass
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.)
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 ismutase (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. It protects your body from viruses, builds and repairs bones, strengthens skin ,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.
