This nutritional supplement contains enzymes, which help your body to break food down more easily and absorb nutrients. Drinking wheatgrass can help you “detoxify,” reducing gas, bloating, and stomach issues. Wheatgrass can be consumed in the form of a fresh, tasty juice, though there are a lot of ways to prepare this freshly-sprouted plant to suit your tastes.
