DESCRIPTION Cereal grass is the young green plant that grows to produce

the cereal grain.

Grasses belong to the Gramineae family that provides

all the world's cereals and most of the world's sugar.

Wheat grass and

barley grass are popular nutritional supplements.

These cereal grasses,

along with spirulina (see Spirulina), chlorella (see Chlorella), oat

grass and alfalfa are sometimes referred to as 'green foods.

' Wheat

grass and barley grass are rich sources of chlorophyll (see

Chlorophyll/Chlorophyl lin), which is believed to have some health-

promoting activities.

ACTIONS AND PHARMACOLOGY ACTIONS Wheat grass and

barley grass have putative anticarcinogenic activity.

MECHANISM OF

ACTION Wheat sprout extracts have demonstrated antimutagenic activity in

vitro.

The mechanism of the antimutagenic effect is unclear.

Wheat

sprouts and wheat grass are rich in chlorophyll, and the antimutagenic

activity of wheat sprouts may be accounted for by the presence of this

substance, which is known to have antimutagenic and anticarcinogenic

activities (see Chlorophyll/Chlorophyllin ).

Other substances, including

flavonoids, may also play a role in these possible activities.

Barley

grass extracts have been found to protect human fibroblasts against

carcinogenic agents.

Again, chlorophyll may, in part, account for this

effect.

Barley grass contains several substances other than chlorophyll

that have antioxidant activity and that may contribute to its possible

antimutagenic and anticarcinogenic activities.

PHARMACOKINETICS The

proteins, lipids and carbohydrates in wheat grass and barley grass are

digested, absorbed and metabolized by normal physiological processes.

INDICATIONS AND USAGE Wheat grass/barley grass supplements are promoted

for multiple uses.

Claims have been made that they help prevent and

fight cancer, lower cholesterol, detoxify many pollutants, protect

against solar and other forms of radiation, boost energy and immunity,

enhance wound healing, help with digestion, fight tooth decay and bad

breath, promote healthy skin, reverse graying of hair and lower blood

pressure, among other things.

There is no credible evidence to support

any of these claims at this time.
