Wheatgrass juice builds blood. The chlorophyll molecule in wheatgrass is almost identical to the haemoglobin molecule in human blood. The only difference is that the central element in chlorophyll is magnesium and in haemoglobin it is iron. Due to this inherent similarity the human body can easily transform chlorophyll into haemoglobin increasing the red blood cell count as well as the blood’s capacity to deliver oxygen and other nutrients to the body’s cells.

Chlorophyll has been shown to…

• build red blood cells quickly
• normalize blood pressure by dilating the blood pathways through out the body
• destroy poisonous carbon dioxide
• release free oxygen and promote higher metabolism and stimulated enzyme systems

Besides all of these benefits, consuming chlorophyll from wheatgrass is a highly effective way to alkalize the blood and energize the body!

Spinach juice is loaded with vitamins, minerals and chlorophyll.

Spinach juice is in an effective cleansing and strengthening tonic especially for the liver, gall bladder and the bloodstream.

Spinach juice is very concentrated and strong to the taste and is usually mixed with other juices or you can drink it from a shot glass like wheatgrass.

However, you should not drink more than a couple of spinach juice each week and the reason is because it contains oxalic acid which can prevent the mineral calcium from being absorbed.

Spinach is especially rich in…

• vitamin C
• vitamin B6
• folic acid (part of the B group of vitamins)
• beta-carotene
• and the minerals calcium, iron, phosphorus, potassium and sodium
