Andy Battaglia:
Wheatgrass is simply grains of wheat that have been grown to a few inches tall before harvesting and made into juice, tablets or extract. We've had some previous threads about wheatgrass. You can read one at

The juice tastes pretty gross, so I suggest using tablets or the extract. The study conducted on wheatgrass says it takes a year to see the full results. It does have to be used daily if you are to achieve results. There are no side effects unless you take large doses of the juice, which might give you some intestinal distress.

Hello Ma'am,

I hope that you will be able to find the tablets or spray for this in Karachi. I have been unable to do so in Rawalpindi; so I had decided to grow a patch of my own. Unfortunately the weather here changes too rapidly and slight increase in temperature destroys the patch. However I was able to grow it for a couple of months but it went too hot to continue. I doubt that it will grow better in the even hotter climate of Karachi.

Anyway, if you can't find WG in the form of pills or spray, then you might want to experiment with a patch of your own. Here is the link to my WG project if you want to check it out for fun :biggrin

Hi Everyone!

I found out through previous postings here that it seems wheatgrass beneficial. is good as it :-

Wheatgrass contains a full spectrum of vitamins and minerals. In addition, it is packed with chlorophyll, enzymes and dozens of trace elements.

Years ago, Dr. Hans Fischer and his group of associates won a Nobel Prize for their research on red blood cells. They discovered that hemoglobin (red-blood cells) in human blood possesses a highly similar chemical structure compared to chlorophyll, hemoglobin has iron as its central core, while chlorophyll has magnesium in the centre of its molecule. Due to this significant similarity, chlorophyll can actually convert into hemoglobin quickly after ingestion into the body system. If chlorophyll increases hemoglobin production, this means more oxygen can be circulated within the body (hemoglobin carries oxygen).

Wheatgrass juice is one of the most alkaline food available. It contains life force, therefore it is a high-quality source of fuel. Besides that, it is highly assimilable and requires little energy to digest.

Below are more of the benefits of wheatgrass:

• Addresses nutritional deficiencies 
• Purifies blood 
• Rejuvenates aging cells 
• Detoxifies the liver 
• Cleanses the colon 
• Boosts the immune system 
• Tangible energy boost
• Increase resistance to infections, thus experiencing less colds 
• Powerful supplemental food in treatment of cancer as promoted by Dr. Ann Wigmore

Enzymes are an important active ingredient in wheatgrass juice. They are the life energy of our foods and are required to carry out many important biological and chemical functions within the body. Enzymes also play a major role in breaking down fats stored in the body and assist greatly in weight loss. Some of these enzymes are as follows:

• Protease - assists in protein digestion
• Cytochrome Oxidase - an antioxidant for proper cell respiration 
• Amylase - facilitates starch digestion
• Lipase - a fat splitting enzyme
• Transhydrogenase - keeps heart muscle tissue toned
• Superoxide Dismutase (SOD) - found in all body cells and is known for its ability to reduce the effects of radiation, prevent cellular damage and as an anti-inflammatory. 
• Catalase - activates the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen in the blood and body tissues.

My question is has anyone here who is currently giving wheatgrass (either juice and so forth.) to their kids? Esspecially at age of 8 months, the same age with my son. Sure hope for some guidance. I need to know, is there any side effects, allergy or anything? Any advise on how to go about?

For those who are looking for information on wheatgrass, i found this website which explains a lot. Sure hope with this would enable others to get some answers to the questions that they are looking for.
