Years ago, wheatgrass has been given to patients withiron deficiencies and proved to be effective in restoring the blood to normal.
Chlorophyll in wheatgrass, having almost identical molecular structure with the “heme” of the blood, has been shown to intensify production of healthy red blood cells. More recent research indicates that some porphyrins (ringed structures in chlorophyll) stimulate the formation of the protein portion of the hemoglobin molecule. This explains the effect of chlorophyll in blood production.
Other than chlorophyll, Iron, Niacin (B3), Cyanocobalamin (B12), folic acid, copper, potassium and protein in wheatgrass, which are all involved in healthy red blood cell production, make it an excellent remedy for anemia and other blood disorders.
