— involved in hematopoiesis;

— regulate water-salt metabolism;

— regulate the function of cardiovascular and nervous systems.;

— give strength to our skeleton;

— connect the organic structures (proteins and lipids);

— activate the enzyme systems;

— regulate acid-base balance;

— enhance the effect of neuromuscular transmission;

— interact with hormones, vitamins, other regulators of metabolism.

 

Vitamins

The wheat grass juice contains vitamins A, B1, B2, B3, B6, B9, B12, C, E, K.
 

Vitamin a (retinol)

Vitamin a includes a significant number of fat-soluble compounds, the most important of which are retinol, retinal, retinoic acid and retinol esters.

Vitamin a performs many functions in the body: promotes growth and tissue regeneration, provides elasticity to the skin and hair. Has an antioxidant effect, enhances immunity, increases the body's resistance to infections. Vitamin a normalizes the activity of the gonads, is essential for the formation of sperm and egg development. One of the important functions of vitamin A — prevent night blindness — hemeralopia (impaired twilight vision).

 

Vitamin B1 (thiamine)

Vitamin B1 vitamin called antisemitism that characterizes its primary action on the body. Thiamine can not accumulate in the body, so necessary that he did in the body on a daily basis.

Vitamin B1 is necessary for normal functioning of every cell in the body, especially for nerve cells. It stimulates the brain, essential for cardiovascular and endocrine systems, the metabolism of acetylcholine, which is a chemical transmitter of nerve excitation. Thiamine normalizes the acidity of gastric juice, peristalsis of the stomach and intestines, increases the body's resistance to infections. It improves digestion, normalizes the work of muscles and heart, promotes the growth of the organism and is involved in fat, protein and water exchange.

 

Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin)

Vitamin B2 takes an active part in the formation of some hormones and red blood cells, synthesis of ATP (adenosine triphosphate — "the fuel of life") protects the retina from overexposure of UV rays, ensures adaptation to the dark improves visual acuity and perception of color and light. Riboflavin is necessary for the growth and renewal of tissues, a positive effect on the nervous system, liver, skin, and mucous membranes. It is required for normal development of the fetus during pregnancy and for the growth of children. Keeps the skin, nails and hair healthy.

 

Vitamin B3 (vitamin PP or Niacin)

Involved in redox processes, has vasodilator properties, participates in tissue respiration, carbohydrate and protein metabolism, enhances the secretion of gastric juice. It is worth noting one of the most important benefits of Niacin is the effect on the nervous system, this vitamin is similar to the "invisible guard" to protect the stability of the nervous activity, the lack of this substance in the body, the nervous system remains vulnerable and getting hurt.

Niacin prevents the occurrence of such diseases as pellagra (rough skin). Vitamin B3 is necessary for protein metabolism, synthesis of genetic material of good cholesterol and fatty acids, as well as for normal functioning of the brain and Central nervous system.

Vitamin B3 is one of the most effective means to normalize blood cholesterol. It supports heart function and increases blood circulation. Niacin is involved in a large number of reactions associated with the transformation of sugar and fat into energy. Has beneficial effects on the cardiovascular system, namely, expands peripheral blood vessels, improves blood circulation and cleans the blood vessels from the dense of the lipoproteins, lowers blood pressure and reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease.

 

Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine)

Vitamin B6 is essential for normal functioning of the Central nervous system, helps relieve night muscle spasm, leg cramps, numbness of hands. It is also necessary for normal synthesis of nucleic acids that prevent aging of the body and to maintain immunity. As pyridoxine is involved in building enzymes which provide normal work of more than 60 different enzyme systems, improves the absorption of unsaturated fatty acids.

 

Vitamin B9 (folic acid)

Vitamin B9 is essential for normal hematopoiesis and the activities of the digestive system. He is involved in the regulation of cell division and the synthesis of amino acids, nucleic acids, neurotransmitters nervous system — serotonin and noradrenaline. This vitamin is needed by the body to produce new cells (skin, hair, blood, etc.). Folic acid has a charitable effect on fat metabolism in the liver, cholesterol metabolism, choline and certain vitamins. It improves appetite and provides the skin a healthy appearance.

 

Vitamin B12 (cobalamin, cyanocobalamin)

The main function of vitamin B12 — maintenance of normal hematopoiesis. It has a positive effect on fat metabolism in the liver, as the Central and peripheral nervous system on metabolism (especially protein), stimulates growth, reduces cholesterol in the blood.

The body uses cyanocobalamin for the creation of DNA molecules, amino acid synthesis and processing fats and carbohydrates.

 

Vitamin C (ascorbic acid)

The influence of vitamin C on the body is very versatile and very diverse. It is necessary for the formation of collagen and connective tissue: binds blood vessels, bone, skin, tendons, teeth. Vitamin C affects the exchange of many substances. With the help of ascorbic acid, the body easily cope with many toxins and poisons: connecting with vitamin C, the toxic substances are neutralized and excreted in the urine.

 

Vitamin E (tocopherol)

Vitamin E is the main representative of a group of antioxidants. It has a rejuvenating effect, slowing the aging of cells caused by harmful effects of free radicals on the cells of the body.

The effect of vitamin E on the body is difficult to overestimate: prevents aging, increases protective force organism, delays the development of heart failure with the defeat of the heart vessels, improves functioning of the sexual and other endocrine glands, prevents the formation of blood clots, helps in violation of potency in men and in threatening abortion women, acting together with vitamin a protects the lungs from the effects of polluted air accelerates the healing of burns, normalizes the work of muscles.

 

Vitamin K (menadione)

The main function of vitamin K in the body is to ensure normal blood clotting, bone formation (osteocalcin), maintaining blood vessel function, ensuring normal working of the kidneys.

Vitamin K affects the formation of blood clots and increases the resistance of blood vessels, is involved in energy processes, the formation of the main sources of energy in the body — adenosine triphosphate and creatine phosphate, normalizes motor function of the gastrointestinal tract and the muscles, strengthens bones.

 

Minerals

 

Wheatgrass juice is an excellent source of macro - and micronutrients. It contains 92 of 115 mineral known.

 

Iron (Fe)

Iron participates in the formation of hemoglobin in the blood, in the synthesis of thyroid hormone, in protecting the body from bacteria. It is necessary for the formation of the immune protective cells is required for the "work" of the b vitamins. Iron is part of the more than 70 different enzymes, including breathing, support the processes of respiration in cells and tissues, and is involved in the clearance of foreign substances entering the human body.

 

Potassium (K)

Potassium is involved in contraction of muscles, regulates blood pressure and heart rate, allows the passage of the impulse through the nervous system. Potassium promotes the elimination of fluids from the body, cautions against certain forms of depression, improves the supply of oxygen to the brain, helps to get rid of toxins and even prevent strokes (Important for heart health plays, and magnesium (Mg).

In most physiological processes potassium acts as an antagonist of sodium (Na), so, to maintain good health it is necessary that the ratio of sodium to potassium in the diet was 1:2. Harmful excess sodium in the body can neutralize the introduction of additional quantities of potassium.

 

Calcium (Ca)

Calcium is the main building material for the formation of bones and teeth. Calcium is included in the composition of blood, cellular and tissue fluids. Involved in blood clotting and reduces the permeability of vascular walls, preventing the penetration of alien cells to allergens and viruses.

Stimulates the functions of certain enzymes and hormones, the secretion of insulin, has anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic effect, increases the body's defenses, affects the synthesis of nucleic acids and protein in the muscles, the recovery processes of the water balance in the body, making alkalizing effect in the acid-alkaline balance together with sodium (Na), potassium (K) and magnesium (Mg).

 

Magnesium (Mg)

Magnesium is one of the most common elements in nature, is an essential component of bones and tooth enamel in humans and animals, and plants included in the composition of chlorophyll.

Magnesium is essential to the metabolism of glucose, amino acids, lipids, transportation of nutrients required for energy production. Magnesium is involved in the process of protein synthesis, transfer of genetic information, nerve signals. Necessary to maintain cardiovascular system healthy. Adequate levels of magnesium reduces the likelihood of heart attacks.

 

Copper (Cu)

Copper along with iron plays an important role in the formation of red blood cells, is involved in the synthesis of hemoglobin and myoglobin. It is essential for the normal functioning of the respiratory and nervous systems, involved in the synthesis of proteins, amino acids, in the work of ATP. Normal iron metabolism is not possible without copper.

Copper participates in the formation of vital connective tissue proteins — collagen and elastin plays an important role in the production of pigments of the skin.

 

Manganese (Mn)

Manganese is part of the active site of enzymes involved in redox processes (superoxide dismutase and pyruvate kinase). Also a component of enzymes involved in the formation of connective tissue, it promotes growth and normal condition of the cartilage and bones.

Manganese is necessary for normal functioning of the brain and nervous system. It is necessary for the pancreas, energy production, synthesis of cholesterol and nucleotides (DNA); affects fat metabolism, preventing excess fat deposition in the liver; normalizes blood sugar, reducing his diabetes.

 

Sodium (Na)

The content of sodium in the body is 70-110 g. Of which 1/3 is in the bones, 2/3 — in fluid, muscle and nerve tissues.

Sodium is involved in the regulation of blood pressure and the mechanism of muscle contractions, maintaining normal heartbeat, gives endurance to the fabrics. It is very important to the digestive and excretory systems of the body, helps regulate the transport of substances in and out of each cell.

 

Selenium (Se)

Selenium for many years was considered a poison, and only in 60-ies of the last century in the study of slenderizing cardiomyopathy, a disease called Kesan, the role of selenium for humans has been revised.

Selenium is known for its antioxidant properties, together with vitamin E it protects the body from free radicals. Selenium is needed for synthesis of thyroid hormones that regulate metabolism in the body, protects against heart disease.

 

Phosphorus (P)

Phosphorus has influence on mental and muscular activity, along with calcium, gives strength to teeth and bones is involved in the formation of bone tissue.

Phosphorus is used to carry out almost every chemical reaction in the body and for energy production. In energy metabolism of phosphorus compounds (ATP, ADP, goingpostal, cleanupstate) play a critical role. Phosphorus participates in protein synthesis, a part of DNA and RNA, is also involved in the metabolism of proteins, carbohydrates and fats.

 

Zinc (Zn)

Zinc is part of over 200 enzymes that are involved in various metabolic reactions, including the synthesis and breakdown of carbohydrates, proteins, fats and nucleic acids, the basic genetic material. It forms part of the hormone of the pancreas — insulin to regulate the sugar level in the blood.

Zinc promotes growth and human development necessary for puberty and continue progeny. It plays an important role in the formation of the skeleton, necessary for the functioning of the immune system, has antiviral and antitoxic properties, involved in the fight against infectious diseases and cancer.

 

Amino acid

 

Amino acids are chemical structural units which form proteins.

Any living organism consists of proteins. Various forms of proteins take part in all processes happening in living organisms. In the human body from proteins form the muscles, ligaments, tendons, all organs and glands, hair, nails; proteins enter in the composition of the fluids and bones. Enzymes and hormones that catalyze and regulate all the body processes are also proteins.

 

The deficit of proteins can lead to the disturbance of the water balance, which causes edema. Each protein in the body is unique and exists for special purposes. Proteins are not interchangeable. They are synthesized in the body from amino acids, which are formed by cleavage of proteins located in food. Thus, the amino acids, and not proteins are the most valuable food elements.

 

Besides the fact that amino acids form proteins included in the composition of the tissues and organs of the human body so some of them:

Act as neurotransmitters or their precursors. Neurotransmitters are chemicals that transmit the nerve impulse from one nerve cell to another. Thus, some amino acids necessary for normal functioning of the brain.

Amino acids contribute to the fact that vitamins and minerals adequately perform their functions.

Some amino acids directly supply energy to the muscle tissue.

 

Juice Wheatgrass contains 17 amino acids: lysine, isoleucine, tryptophan, phenylalanine, gamma-aminobutyric acid, valine, methionine, alanine, arginine, aspartic acid, glutamic acid, aminouxusna acid, histidine, Proline, serine and tyrosine. published
