Minerals
are simple substances that play a major role in many metabolic
functions. Many of the minerals found in
wheat grass are
components of enzymes, which are catalysts for chemical
reactions in the body.
Boron
Boron is a trace mineral that is important in brain function,
especially in enhancing memory, cognitive function, and
hand-eye coordination. Evidence continues to show that boron
may reduce either the symptoms or incidence of arthritis.
Calcium
Calcium is important for muscle contraction, blood clotting
and enzyme activity. Calcium works with phosphorus to help
prevent osteoporosis. Speeds wound healing because it helps
your blood coagulate.
Chromium
Chromium helps to prevent and lower high blood pressure.
It can also deter diabetes because it works with insulin
in the metabolism of blood sugar. This trace mineral available
in
organic wheatgrass helps transport protein where it
is needed in your body.
Cobalt
Cobalt is an essential mineral, helps repair the myelin
sheath, pernicious anima, and in the building of red blood
cells. Enzymes are stimulated by Cobalt. Cobalt and Vitamin
B 12 work together to increase the body’s ability to produce
Vitamin B12.
Copper
Copper increases your energy levels by helping in effective
iron absorption. Copper is essential for your body’s ability
to use vitamin C. It is also vital for transforming your
body’s iron into hemoglobin.
Iodine
Iodine is an important component of thyroid hormones - essential
for reproduction. Proper levels of iodine will help your
metabolism by burning off extra fat and giving you more
energy also promotes healthy teeth, skin, nails and hair.
Iron
To metabolize iron in your body you need copper, cobalt,
manganese and vitamin C .In turn, iron is required to metabolize
the family of B group Vitamins. Iron promotes resistance
to infection, forestalls fatigue and is important for growth.
Iron is essential for the manufacture of myoglobin, the
red pigment in muscles. It is also a component of the oxygen-
carrying protein hemoglobin.
Magnesium
Magnesium is an essential for the transmission of nerve
impulses and muscle contraction. It is required by your
body to convert into energy the blood sugar stored as glycogen
in your liver. I t also helps in bone- building and aids
your body’s ability in dealing with physical and emotional
stress.
Manganese
Manganese reduces nervous irritability; aid muscle reflexes,
improves memory and helps combat tiredness. It is needed
for normal bone building and is important in the production
of thyrosin, the principle hormone of the thyroid gland.
Molybdenum
Molybdenum helps in the metabolism of both fats and carbohydrates.
It is a vital part of the enzyme responsible for the use
of Iron. Very effective in detoxifying potentially harmful
chemicals. Reduces tooth decay and protects against cancers
of the esophagus and stomach.
Potassium
Potassium regulates the balance of your body’s acids and
plays a role in nerve and muscle function. Together with
sodium, potassium works to regulate your blood pressure
and water balance. Keep your heart muscles beating in a
normal steady rhythm.
Phosphorus
Phosphorus along with the B group of vitamins is required
by the body to extract energy from food, particularly fats
and starches; Phosphorous also helps with kidney functioning
and heart regularity. It also lessens arthritis pain.
Selenium
Selenium is an essential trace mineral in the human body.
This nutrient is an important part of antioxidant enzymes
that protects cells against the effects of free radicals
that are produced during normal oxygen metabolism.
Sodium
Sodium keeps your heart beating in a strong, steady rhythm.
It also balances the functioning of all muscles and nerves
Sodium is the major regulator of your body’s water balance
and keeps the other vital minerals in proper concentration.
Sulphur
Sulphur helps ensure the oxygen supply necessary for optimum
brain functions it helps fight off bacterial infections.
Sulphur is required to build protein and collagen. Sulphur
also helps build the vital amino acids cysteine, Turin and
methionine.
Zinc
Zinc is an essential mineral that is found in every cell.
It stimulates the activity of 100’s of enzymes, zinc supports
a healthy immune system is required for wound healing and
is needed for DNA synthesis.
