@ slip up 2:

On the webside of "Dynamic Greens" there is a link to the laboratory which made the analyses. I suppose,these analyses have not been undertaken to find out the iron chelating qualities of wheat grass, but instead the nutritional components, vitamins, enzymes; precious for the mainstream, but not specific for iron chelating qualities..

The indian MDS Study reports that "Wheat Grass juice consists of two noble active ingredients with structural resemblences of chlorophyll, but do not have Mg +2 in a central position of protoporphyrin. These two ingredients might be responsible for iron chelating activity." (Slide 12).

It seems not to be easy to find out which ingredients exactly do the iron chelation; and they have not been tested exactly. This costs money.. It is a long process from a natural product to a medicament approved by school medicine, because it is necessary to know the exact active components and their concrete quantity in one pill etc. to undertake scientific studies...and, one day, finally obtain a registration for that..
