Chlorophyll-rich superfood

Wheatgrass looks like the grass from your garden, but as the saying goes, don’t judge a book by its cover. These little leaves are a superfood. They absorb sunlight and convert it to chlorophyll, which is one of our most important sources of life.

Chemically, chlorophyll is extremely similar to human blood. It is soluble in fat particles, and fat particles are directly absorbed into the bloodstream through the lymphatic system, thus feeding every cell in the body. The result is healthy and clean blood and positive effects on the whole body.

Wheatgrass is rich in vitamins (A, C, E) and minerals such as iron, calcium and magnesium. It is by far the best source of chlorophyll, as the latter represents as much as 70% of wheatgrass. Chlorophyll improves the efficiency of oxygen transfer throughout the body and thus raises energy levels, enables the brain to function optimally and improves general well-being. Chlorophyll detoxifies, cleanses the blood and liver, prevents the development of bacteria, cleans teeth and gums, neutralizes toxins in the body and regulates blood sugar. By cleansing the blood, it slows down ageing and rejuvenates cells. It also contains many antioxidants, including beta-carotene.
