Freeze Dried Wheat Grass

Hi, Greg -

Actually, I first learned of the iron chelating properties of wheatgrass from your posts! I then looked at mdsbeacon.com and found the results of a study from India, reported at ASCO 2009, in which 30 ml of fresh wheatgrass juice daily proved to be an effective chelator. I looked at GNC.com, and the description for Eclectic Institutes Freeze Dried Wheatgrass Capsules stated that three of their 400 mg. capsules are equal to 1 oz. of fresh juice. Two ounces is approximately equal to 30 ml; hence, the 6 caps per day that John is using. GNC charges $39.99 per bottle, but I found the same stuff at Amazon for $24.33. Hope it works as well for you as it did for my husband.

Alice
