Wheatgrass Healing Tips
| Wheatgrass has remarkable healing properties, many examples of which can be found on this website. I believe these effects are most likely due to the influence of wheatgrass bioactives on gene expression. Time will tell. Your comments are welcome. Thank you. Dr. Chris Reynolds. M.B.,B.S. |

There is no doubt that wheatgrass contains numerous important health-giving bioactives. Clinical observation shows how rapidly many of them are absorbed through the skin and the mucous membrane covering the oral cavity.One example of the latter is the "rush" many experience only a few seconds after swallowing fresh wheatgrass juice or the Supershots. This suggests instantaneous absorption directly from the mouth to the brain via the blood circulation i.e. the sublingual route. Herein lies the secret of taking wheatgrass in any form - tablets or powder mixed with water, fresh juice or Supershots. That is, hold the liquid in your mouth for two or three minutes if possible before swallowing. This will enable much greater absorption of the bioactives compared with simply tossing it down your throat. If you do that, much of the goodness will be destroyed by stomach acid. For many, including myself, the taste and smell of fresh wheatgrass juice is sufficient a deterrent to continue taking it. Also, the antioxidant concentration in fresh juice is about 25% lower than in the extract we use to make our Supershots, which are also very easy on the palate. Wheatgrass powder and tablets contain even lower amounts. Whatever form of wheatgrass you take, it will almost certainly help your general health and wellbeing in time. Dr. Chris Reynolds. M.B.,B.S.
