Frequently Asked Questions
Sweet Wheat® is the original pure certified organic and kosher freeze dried wheat grass juice powder that most people find pleasant and sweet tasting. Sweet Wheat contains ONLY the juice, and none of the fibrous cellulose of the grass. As a food, Sweet Wheat provides an extraordinary balance of all the vital nutrients and minerals in an easily assimilated form by the body can use. No fillers or binders are used to lower the potency of Sweet Wheat's organic wheat grass juice. Wheat grass is part of the cereal grass family. Grown from sprouted wheatberries (the seed or kernel of the wheat plant) wheat grass is known as a "live food" or "living food". It is a high-density storehouse packed with chlorophyll, amino acids, enzymes, minerals and vitamins in easily assimilable form. It is considered a super nutrient, the premier "green superfood" of nature. Adults and children can benefit greatly from Sweet Wheat as it contains the essentials needed for growth and development. What can Sweet Wheat® do for me? Different people respond to Sweet Wheat® differently, based on dietary history, metabolism, body type and lifestyle. The #1 response we get from our customers is that Sweet Wheat® boosted their energy level. Others experience heightened immune system function, faster recovery from exercise, greater endurance before fatigue sets in, better sleep, weight loss, better-regulated bowel movements, clearer skin, stronger nails, shinier hair, and reduced chronic symptoms of such ailments as arthritis, diabetes, acid reflux, anemia, and others. Those with degenerative diseases experienced the greatest energy boost. Studies indicate that people who consume the most live enzymes lived the longest. In a study by Dr. James A. Kholos, it was found that undigested metabolic residues accumulate in the blood and tissues and this leads to chronic illness. He goes on to state that the vitamins, minerals, and micronutrients found in Sweet Wheat have the power to aid in complete digestion, and to identify, catch and consume toxins. From these studies it’s easy to see that with Sweet Wheat® as a part of a daily diet people can lead happier, healthier and perhaps longer lives. Live enzymes are essential for digesting food. As heat destroys enzymes, cooked foods are much lower in enzymes than in raw food. The drying and assembly process of most supplements is done with heat and at a temperature too high to allow most enzymes to survive. The less live food we eat, food with enzymes intact, the more we draw on the store of enzymes our own body produces which are intended for many other metabolic functions than digestion. Sweet Wheat contains some of the most heat sensitive and unstable living enzymes in the finished product. Other companies just don’t have our standards, thus their end product cannot supply these valuable enzymes. People should eat assimilable forms of proteins. Sweet Wheat's amino acid profile provides a protein structure that closely approximates that of the human protein in an immediate bio-available form. Sweet Wheat does not require the body to sacrifice vital enzymes to break these proteins down. Proper proportions amino acids are necessary. If take larger amounts of some, you create an imbalance and a toxic condition. A deficiency of just one amino acid can result in a reduced immune system, poor resistance to infection and disease, low energy, allergies, early aging, and poor or sluggish digestion. An adequate supply of amino acids can provide better health, more energy, mental clarity, a functioning immune system, and a strong resistance to disease. Additionally, the molecular structure of Sweet Wheat's chlorophyll is the exact same as that of blood, with the exception that the center molecule in blood is iron, while Sweet Wheat's is magnesium. This aides directly in the cleansing of the blood, facilitating a dramatic improvement in the body's ability to heal. Chlorophyll also increases hemoglobin production (red blood cell count) and is known as a powerful detoxifier and antibacterial agent. It also binds with carcinogenic toxins in the digestive tract, blocking them from absorption into the body. Together amino acids (protein) chlorophyll, vitamins, minerals and enzymes are responsible for building up of blood, organs and muscles and the creation of hormones. Wheatgrass has the unique property of being the only plant that can pull all the mineral content from within the soil into the plant and make it readily useable by the body. Wheatgrass juice is similar to drinking dark green vegetable juices but different in that no other vegetable contains such a variety and potency of vital nutrients. It is also known as the king of alkaline foods. You it use each day to help attain an optimum Ph. What is the benefit of the juice over just using the grass? Unlike grazing animals, the human digestive tract is not designed to break down the cellulose in the woody and fibrous wheatgrass stalk. To be properly utilized, wheatgrass must be juiced. The nutrients in wheatgrass juice are many times more concentrated than in raw grass. When the water is extracted from the juice, as in freeze drying, all the antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, amino acids, chlorophyll and live enzymes remain. In one spoonful of freeze dried wheatgrass juice powder, you are consuming the equivalent of a tremendous amount of alkaline vegetables. It takes 35 pounds of wheatgrass to make just one pound of Sweet Wheat® powder. Sweet Wheat® powder is ten times more powerful than fresh wheatgrass Why is Sweet Wheat® better than other greens products? Sweet Wheat® powder is 100% organic freeze dried wheat grass juice. Freeze drying preserves the life-giving quality of the minerals, living enzymes and delicate phytonutrients contained in the living wheatgrass. Sweet Wheat® stands above all others as the premier green superfood. Most other green supplements are heat dried and have lost most of their potency. Proof of Sweet Wheat® potency is serving size. A Sweet Wheat’ serving is one level teaspoon, or 2 capsules, at least once daily. Other greens products recommend serving sizes of 2-3 tablespoons or 8-10 capsules twice a day. Sweet Wheat® costs less per serving and gives better results. You save money using the premier green product. Not all juices are created equal. There's no guarantee of quality or potency when you grow your own wheat grass at home, or buy it fresh squeezed in a store. Since wheatgrass absorbs all its minerals from the soil in which it grows, unless the soil is specially prepared, the right combination and quantity of minerals will not be present, and the harvested wheat grass will be deficient. Sweet Wheat goes to great pains to insure the mineral balance in the soil is just right. Additionally, any toxins or pesticides used on wheat grass will be intensified and concentrated when juiced. Because Sweet Wheat® is certified organic, you can be certain it is grown under the strictest standards. Using Sweet Wheat® assures you of the quality and, serving-to-serving, is more cost effective as well. Why are green foods so important? Green foods are rich in antioxidants, chlorophyll, vitamins, and minerals. Chlorophyll is a potent detoxifier, antioxidant and natural blood purifier and is non-toxic in any amount. Minerals found in green foods allow us to take energy from the food we eat which builds strong bones, hair and teeth and a host of other vital functions. Sweet Wheat® wheatgrass juice powder is a highly alkaline food that can quickly help to balance your body's Ph. Sweet Wheat® begins with planting 100% organic wheatberries in mineral-rich organic soil that has been prepared to exact proven specifications. In this rich environment the wheatberrys sprout and grow into their early grass phase, where they pull all the essential minerals and other nutrients from the soil into the plants. The wheatgrass is cut at peak potency, just before the wheatgrass "joints" or goes into the reproductive phase where it shoots up to form a seed head, and uses up these stored nutrients. Once cut, the wheatgrass is kept at very low temperatures as it is rushed to be juiced and freeze dried to a powder preserving all the fresh potency that makes Sweet Wheat so easy to assimilate. From soil to spoon, every step of Sweet Wheat® production is designed for maximum potency and freshness. Can I take Sweet Wheeat® if I am allergic to wheat or gluten? Yes. There is no gluten in Sweet Wheat. Gluten is only formed in the actual wheat grain (seed). Sweet Wheat is harvested and cut before the wheatgrass develops a seed head. If you are allergic to wheat, you are also allergic to gluten, but not to the properties of wheatgrass. Are there any side effects to taking Sweet Wheat®? Consuming Sweet Wheat® is similar to eating green vegetables. Live enzymes, chlorophyll, vitamins, and minerals can produce a cleansing or detoxifying effect. The nutrients in green vegetables can release toxins that have been stored in blood and fat cells. If you don’t drink at least half your body weight in ounces of pure water daily, these toxins reabsorb into your system and make you feel uncomfortable. Those just starting Sweet Wheat who have not been on a good standard diet may experience the effects of toxins. Most experience a gentle detox without noticeably adverse effects. Some people experience increased bowel movements, mild headaches, aching muscles, or slight skin rashes. If you should experience more severe symptoms, first cut the amount you have been taking in half and increase your water. If you still have these symptoms after trying this, stop using Sweet Wheat® and consult your health practitioner. How much Sweet Wheat® should I use? For adult basic daily health you should take one level teaspoon or two capsules at least once a day. If you have an illness you may need to take more. Often, the more severe the condition, the more nutrients the body needs and can use to fight it. We recommend increasing the dose by one serving each week until you experience an improvement in your condition. If in doubt about the exact amount you should use, consult with your health practitioner. Children 0-4 generally use 1/4 to 1/2 a capsule daily or 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon—Children 4-14 can double that amount. One teaspoon of Sweet Wheat® is roughly equivalent to one to two ounces of fresh wheatgrass juice. One ounce of wheatgrass juice equals the nutritional equivalent of 1.5 pounds of organic vegetables. Dr. Ann Wigmore, founder of the Hippocrates Health Institute, stated that one pound of fresh wheatgrass is equivalent to 25 pounds of fresh vegetables in terms of nutritional value. When is the best time to take Sweet Wheat®? We recommend taking 1/2 teaspoon or 1 capsule on an empty stomach first thing in the morning and wait 20 minutes before eating, and 20 minutes before your mid-afternoon slump. Some take Sweet Wheat at night because it helps them get a restful night's sleep. Many increase their intake of Sweet Wheat® when they feel they are coming down with something because it helps strengthen their immune system. How long does it take to get results? Some people notice an energy boost within 20 minutes, but this varies from person to person. It commonly takes 3 days to 2 weeks of regular use, depending on the severity of your condition, to see observable results. Is there a difference between the powder and the capsules? They are the same Sweet Wheat® in different forms. If you like the taste of spinach you might prefer the powder. The veggie-based capsules take up to 20 minutes to break down. The powder is absorbed more immediately. What if I don't like the taste of wheatgrass juice but want the benefits? You can take Sweet Wheat in capsule form or blend a half-teaspoon of Sweet Wheat® wheatgrass juice powder with juice (pure carrot apple or grape). Other vegetable extracts – beet, celery and parsley – also mix well with wheatgrass juice. Some enjoy sprinkling Sweet Wheat on their fresh green salads. You can prepare your cold meals with Sweet Wheat® but remember, heat will diminish its potency. Can I replace my multi-vitamin with Sweet Wheat®? Wheatgrass draws all the vitamins, minerals, and live enzymes from the soil into the plant. Juicing the wheatgrass releases these in a form that’s very easy for your body to assimilate. Some have used Sweet Wheat® exclusively feeling little need for other vitamins. But as with any other supplement it is always a good idea to consult your healthcare provider before making a major change. Where did the idea of juicing wheatgrass come from? Agricultural chemist, Charles F. Schanabel, experimented with a heat-dried wheatgrass powder in 1930, in an effort to save dying chickens, Not only did they recover, they produced more eggs than chickens who had never been ill. He repeated the experiment on healthy chickens, doubling their production. He soon took the wheatgrass himself, and gave it to his friends and family, with very good results. This led to marketing wheatgrass powder and tablets for animal and human consumption. Naturopathic doctor, author, and famed nutritionist Ann Wigmore is singly responsible for popularizing the use of wheatgrass juice. In 1963, she founded the Hippocrates Health Institute in Boston, where, through experiments (and 30 years research), she learned that wheatgrass juice – with its high content of vital nutrients – was the most effective of the grasses: for its "regenerative power" and for its "ability to strengthen the whole body by bolstering its immune system." (See Ann Wigmore's 1985 classic, The Wheatgrass Book.) |
