•Wheatgrass is wheat at its most nutritious.  It needs to be juiced as it’s cellulose cannot be digested by the body

•It is packed full of enzymes to aid digestion

•1 shot of wheatgrass is nutritionally equivalent to 1kg of green veg juiced.

•It is packed with various vitamins including beta-carotene, the precursor to vitamin A which is important for vision, immune function and skin health; Vitamin C which is an antioxidant that supports immune function, collagen production, and iron absorption; Vitamin E which plays a role in blood clotting and bone health and various B Vitamins including including B1 (thiamine), B2 (riboflavin), B3 (niacin), B6 (pyridoxine), and B9 (folate) – these vitamins are known to be be important for energy metabolism, nervous system function, and red blood cell production.

• Fresh wheatgrass needs to be juiced in a masticating juicer. 
• A 30 ml (1 fl.oz) shot is a daily doze and this can be increased up to 2 x 30ml shots once or twice a day.
• For optimum results,  fresh wheatgrass juice should be drunk in under 30 mins from when it is juiced.  It is powerful stuff and needs to be treated so.
• A good serving suggestion is to juice a thumb nail size of fresh ginger or fresh lemongrass with it to lift the flavour.
