One of the major ingredients of wheat grass is is chlorophyll, which has the ability to draw toxins from the body like a magnet.

According to the 25-year-old male underwear model, the wheatgrass is also a complete food but with no side effects. A lot of people grown their own wheatgrass and use juicers to make their own juice. An ounce of wheatgrass per day provides a host of benefits and a therapeutic program can be set up to treat a specific condition or illness.
