• What Is Wheatgrass Powder?
Wheatgrass belongs to the genus Agropyron in the Poaceae family. It is a unique type of wheat that matures into red wheat berries. In particular, it is the young shoots of Agropyron cristatum (a cousin of wheat). Its young leaves can be squeezed into juice or dried and ground into powder. Unprocessed plants contain a lot of cellulose, which is difficult for humans to digest. But it also contains chlorophyll, amino acids, vitamins, minerals, etc.
• Wheatgrass Nutritional Components and Benefits
1.Chlorophyll
Wheatgrass is one of the richest sources of natural vitamin A, vitamin C and vitamin E. The natural vitamin E contained in wheatgrass is more than 10 times more absorbable than synthetic vitamin E, and eating more will not cause side effects like other synthetic vitamins.
2.Minerals
Minerals are the source of vitality of green leaves and the core of all living things. Wheatgrass contains minerals such as calcium, iron, manganese, phosphorus, sodium, cobalt and zinc, among which potassium ions are particularly important. Wheatgrass can improve constipation and indigestion, and promote intestinal peristalsis and absorption due to its sufficient potassium content.
The minerals in wheatgrass are highly alkaline, so the absorption of phosphoric acid is small. If phosphoric acid is excessive, it will affect the bones. Therefore, wheatgrass has good effects on preventing tooth decay, improving acidic constitution and eliminating fatigue.
3.Enzymes
Enzymes are the media of chemical reactions in the body. When any nutrient is initially dissolved in the fluid in the cell and becomes an ion, it must rely on the action of enzymes. When breathing, oxygen in the air is input into the blood or cells, and enzymes are also necessary.
Wheatgrass also contains a SOD enzyme with special ions such as zinc and copper, and the content is as high as 0.1%. SOD has a specific therapeutic effect on inflammations such as arthritis, collagen disease of intercellular tissue inflammation, rhinitis, pleurisy, etc.
4.Amino acids
Seventeen kinds of amino acids contained in wheatgrass.
• Lysine - regarded by the academic community as a substance that may have anti-aging functions, it has a great impact on growth and blood circulation. When it is deficient, the immunity will be weakened, the vision will be affected, and it will be easy to get tired.
• Isoleucine - It is also very important for growth, especially for children. The balance of protein in adults is also affected by it. When it is deficient, it will affect the formation of other amino acids, and then cause mental degeneration.
• Leucine - Keeps people awake and alert. Basically, people with insomnia should try not to take this ingredient to avoid making the situation worse. But if you want to be energetic, leucine is absolutely an indispensable and important substance.
• Tryptophan - It is very important for building oxygen-rich blood and maintaining the health of skin and hair. It works together with vitamin B group to stabilize the nervous system and promote digestion.
• Phenylalanine - It can make the thyroid gland secrete thyroxine normally, which is very important for mental balance and emotional stability.
• Threonine - It helps the human body digest and absorb, and is also beneficial to the metabolism of the whole body.
• Aminovaleric acid - It can stimulate brain development, increase muscle coordination, and calm the nervous system. When it is lacking, it will cause symptoms such as nervous tension, mental weakness, emotional instability, and insomnia.
• Methionine - It has the function of purifying and activating kidney and liver cells, and it also helps hair growth and maintain mental stability. It can be said that its effect is exactly the opposite of leucine.
The other amino acids contained in wheatgrass are briefly described as follows: Alanine has the function of hematopoiesis; Arginine is one of the main components of semen and has a greater impact on men; Aspartic acid helps the body convert food into energy; Glutamic acid stabilizes the mind and normalizes metabolism; Glycine is an indispensable component in the process of cells using oxygen to generate energy; Histidine affects hearing and nervous system function; Proline will be converted into glutamic acid, thus having the same function; Chloramine can stimulate brain and nervous system function; Tyrosine can promote hair and skin growth and prevent cell aging.
5.Other nutrients
Young wheat leaves contain high amounts of vitamins and plant hormones, while older leaves contain more minerals. At the same time, wheatgrass can provide the most direct and economical protein. Young wheat leaves contain tryptophan, which can treat short stature.
In addition, in the study of wheatgrass, abscisic acid that can reverse tumor growth has also been found. Wheatgrass is known to be an effective way to obtain a large amount of abscisic acid.
