Maxi Vital - wheat grass, spelt, barley grass and alfalfa powders

Cereal Grass Powders are Nutritional Powerhouses!
Our ancestors appreciated the value of the cereal grasses, including wheat, barley, and alfalfa however in today's technological societies most of us tend to eat too few deep green, leafy vegetables.

Scientists are now rediscovering the nutritional benefits cereal grasses, often described as "green super foods". Dehydrated wheat and barley grasses provide concentrated green roughage food that is an ideal supplement our diet in a simple and easy to use form.
Cereal grasses contain a reservoir of nutrients that are designed for the future growing embryo of grain; the grass contains the richest nutrients associated with grass and other green foods.
Maxi Vital's dehydrated cereal grass products are nutritional powerhouses; and contain more nutritional value than most green vegetables.

All Maxi Vital's cereal grass powders are Austalian grown and have been Certified Organic by National Association for Sustainable Agriculture Australia (NASAA)

Maxi Vital's cereal grasses are powered by the sun and grown organically (ie: without pesticides, herbicides, insecticides or fungicides) in open fertile soils. Cereal grass shoots grown in this way achieve normal root growth as well as proper leaf development and therefore they have a much higher nutritional value compared to grasses grown indoors in a shallow trays.
The green grass shoots are harvested before the jointing stage when they at their nutritional peak. Only the top 10 centimetres of the grass is harvested as this section has the highest nutrient concentration.
A premium process is used to preserve the nutritional content of the grass and capture the live enzymes. This involves low temperature warm air drying and milling into powder form - as a result Maxi Vital's cereal products retain much the same benefits of a live food.

Serving Directions
For adults 1 heaped teaspoon once or twice daily preferably before eating. Add to a cold beverage (water or non citrus juice) and stir.

Can be added to salads, soups or your favourite dish to increase its nutrient value. Store in a cool dry place away from sunlight.

Nutritional Value
Cereal grasses contain 7 times more vitamin C than oranges, and five times more iron than spinach. They contain high concentrations of natural chlorophyll, and many enzymes used in human metabolism. The purifying effect assists the body to eliminate toxins that may otherwise accumulate and lead to disease. Maxi Vital's cereal grass products average 25 per cent protein (which is more than meat, fish, eggs, beans or dairy products), and are high in fibre. They provide a concentrated source of the same nutrients that are associated with deep green leafy vegetables.

The importance of Bioavailability
The ease of absorption (bioavailability) of the natural vitamins in cereal grasses is much higher than that of synthetic formulas; smaller quantities will therefore provide the same benefits.
The essential nutrients in cereal grasses - minerals, enzymes, chlorophyll, vitamins, protein and Omega 3 fatty acids are easily absorbed and represent an unsurpassed means of rectifying nutrient imbalance and deficiency. Cereal grasses are highly alkaline and are an excellent means of restoring a healthy acid/alkaline balance in the body.
Cereal grasses contain Chlorophyll and this is converted directly to haemoglobin, in effect creating fresh red blood cells. Chlorophyll can aid all of the functions and systems of your body by rejuvenating and cleansing your blood.

Antioxidants
There are significant levels of antioxidants in cereal grasses including superoxide dismutase (SOD), Vitamin E Succinate and carotenes.
