Hi, is wheatgrass effective in iron chelation? in what dosage? thank you
A doctor has provided 1 answer
YES!!! 1 ounce/day: In an impressive study of 20 transfusion-dependent patients with mds ferritin levels decreased from an average of 2, 250 to 950 after 30 ml of wheatgrass juice/day for 6 months- see http://www.Mdsbeacon.Com/news/2009/06/02/study-shows-iron-chelating-properties-of-wheat-grass-juice-asco-2009/ i don't see any harm in trying even higher amounts- there would be no danger to drinking 1 oz 2x/day.
