This wheatgrass shot is a perfect blend for active people because of its restorative effects on the body, in part due to potassium, magnesium, and vitamins C and K. It is effective at detoxing the body from heavy metals built up in our endocrine systems, muscle tissue and within bones. Also it reduces oxidative stress encountered in a normal daily routine.
Blue Moon Wheatgrass
2 oz. of wheatgrass is equivalent to 5 lbs of raw vegetables. It contains high amounts of Vitamins A, C, all B vitamins, calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, sodium, potassium, essential amino acids and protein. Blood and liver are detoxified by beneficial enzymes that neutralize the toxins. It is high in chlorophyll which is high in oxygen, helping to raise red blood cell counts.
Chorella
Is derived from fresh water algae and is high in chlorophyll, beta carotene, potassium, phosphorus, biotin, magnesium and B complex vitamins. It helps to attack and destroy cells that may form cancer and can help fight the side effects of radiation and chemotherapy, as well as detoxing the body of other heavy metals. It lowers blood sugar levels and cholesterol. It supports a healthy immune system, regulates hormones and improves metabolism.
Cilantro
Contains vitamins A, K and C, potassium, phosphorus, manganese, sodium and zinc. Another heavy metal detoxifying ingredient as it causes the toxin to bind to the leaf therefore loosening it from the affected area.
Cucumber
Contains vitamins A, B and C, manganese, potassium and silicon. Great for hydration but even better for lowering cholesterol, blood pressure and uric acid (which aggravates arthritis).
Lime
Contains vitamin C which has been proven to fight infections and eliminate body odor. Like cucumbers, it also prevents build-up of uric acid and can be helpful for arthritis, gout and other inflammation issues. The high fiber content in limes prevents blood sugar spikes, lowers blood pressure, and reduces LDL cholesterol levels, as well as stimulates the digestive system and relieves constipation.
Green Apples
Contains iron, copper, manganese, potassium and Vitamin K, which aids in the clotting of blood and helps to repair injuries quicker. It’s a high fiber ingredient effective at keeping blood sugar levels stable, lowering cholesterol and helping to cleanse the colon thereby reducing the risk of colon cancer. It has also been linked to fighting Alzheimer’s disease and boosting immunity.
