Wheatgrass has become a widely used superfood in the western world, containing more vitamin A than carrots and more vitamin C than oranges it has powerful anti-oxidant properties. Both of these vitamins are known to safely interact with free radicals (responsible for oxidative stress and cell damage) and terminate their chain reactions before vital molecules are harmed. Unfortunately in these times of high pollution and potential toxic overload it is important to gently detox the body on a regular basis and wheatgrass is excellent at performing this task.
Wheatgrass Powder also contains a wide range of B vitamins along with the minerals calcium, magnesium, iron and zinc in a balanced ratio. Calcium and magnesium work together to promote bone health and muscle function among other things. It’s high in vitamin B6 which is also referred to as the “mood vitamin” due to its assistance in helping the body make the feel good hormones serotonin and norepinephrine which relax and lift your spirits.
Wheatgrass also delivers a complete protein (containing all 9 essential amino acids) making it a fantastic addition to a vegan or vegetarian diet – this protein is in the form of polypeptides, simpler and shorter chains of amino acids which the body finds easier to assimilate into the bloodstream and tissues.
Wheatgrass is particularly high in chlorophyll. For more information about chlorophyll, please visit our “Natural Health Guide”.
Integrating Superfoods into your daily diet is simple and easy. Superfoods are particularly dense in nutrients, and free from any bulking agents or fillers. By adding superfoods to your daily diet you can fortify your food with super nutrition. Try replacing breakfast with a superfood smoothie. The smoothie can be made with a base of nut milk, seed milk or non-dairy milk such as rice milk, alternatively the main body of the smoothie can be created with fruit or vegetable juices.
Then additional superfood and herb powders can be added to fortify the smoothie with extra beneficial properties, the powders are largely dissolvable and can be scooped in and then blended or shaken until fully mixed in. Superfoods can be easily added to breakfast cereals such as porridge, muesli or granola. The powders, berries, grains, seeds and nuts can also be added to soups, salads, stews, curries, and used as toppings for any meal.
Think about what you can replace in your daily diet with Superfoods. For full instructions go to our How to use Superfoods page.

RDA: reference intake of an average adult
Organic New Zealand Wheatgrass Capsules are derived from organic wheatgrass that is grown until ‘jointing’ occurs. This term describes when the adolescent plant is just about to reach adulthood and each plant contains the maximum amount of vitamins, minerals and amino acids. At this peak potency all plants are cut and washed with selection of only the finest leaves to be made into powder. The selected leaves are then briefly blanched to prevent loss of colour, flavour and as a method of killing any unwanted bacteria. The leaves are then specially dehydrated and stone ground into a fine powder. The powder is then encapsulated and made ready for shipping. Absolutely no chemical pesticides, herbicides or fertilizers are used for this premium organic product. This whole process complies with GMP standards and is quality assured by Indigo Herbs.
The powder is encapsulated in the UK by a leading GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) registered pharmaceutical manufacturer. GMP registration requires rigorous inspection by the MHRA and regular GMP audits enforce optimum quality standards in the encapsulation process. Indigo Herbs capsule casings are made from HPMC, a plant-based cellulose material approved for vegetarian and vegan use by the Vegetarian Society, and Halal and Kosher-certified. HPMC is about as biologically neutral a foodstuff as it is possible to find, and the only other ingredient in the casings is water. The capsules are 100% pure, using no fillers, binders or bulking agents. Each capsule contains 500mg of powder.
