Dr. Kristin Sokol answered

Specializes in Allergy and Immunology

Why?: Taking wheat grass supplement will not improve your grass pollen allergies, in fact it may bring on symptoms of allergies - like runny nose, watery eyes, even nausea and vomiting since you are ingesting it. I would not chance it.
