But this is no pure juice (in aqueous solution). 30 ml are produced from 5 grams of fresh wheat grass. http://www.asco.org/ascov2/Meetings/Abstracts?&vmview=abst_detail_view&confID=65&abstractID=33788

I have commenced a pt on wheat grass for iorn overload (MDS pt) I am just enquiring what doesage is required to be administered for best results? If Icould be advised on the above I would be very grateful. kind regards michelle Ihave recently descovered the iorn chelation properities of wheat grass.

Where can i read/get this study? "In a dose-dependent comparison with deferoxamine (Desferal), a standard iron chelator, soluble wheat grass extract, collected from five to seven day old leaves, showed more effective iron chelating ability." Is this another study, and if yes: Would it be possible to get it? Thank you, M.
