Health Claims *
One of the most popular claims about wheatgrass, is that 1 ounce of wheatgrass is as nutritionally valuable as 2.2 lbs of green vegetables
As the chlorophyll molecule is structurally similar to hemoglobin, it has been argued that
wheatgrass helps blood flow, digestion and general detoxification of the body. Although no research exists that directly connects chlorophyll with blood building, nutrients such as iron that are associated with dark green leafy vegetables have been shown to be important for healthy blood.
