Young Sprouted Einkorn Wheatgrass: Living Chlorophyll & SOD

The Vibrant Emerald Elixir of Ancient Shoots

Harvested at the "jointing stage" (approximately day 7 to 10 of growth), young einkorn shoots convert stored grain starch into an explosive fountain of living phytonutrients.

1. Superoxide Dismutase (SOD) Enzymatic Defense: Freshly pressed einkorn wheatgrass juice is exceptionally rich in active Cu/Zn-SOD and Mn-SOD, metalloenzymes that catalyze the dismutation of dangerous superoxide radicals into molecular oxygen and hydrogen peroxide.
2. High-Chlorophyll Vascular Oxygenation: Chlorophyll molecules share a nearly identical chemical ring structure with human hemoglobin (with magnesium residing at the center instead of iron), supporting cellular tissue oxygenation and gentle heavy metal binding.
