I purchased it because my husband just had to have it after he read online that this was good for healthy gums. He used it for about a week. My daughter used it in a smoothie, she said "it was not bad, it was actually better tasting than I thought it would be".My cat has a very sensitive stomach. By adding this powder to his water daily stomach problems are no longer an issueGood productI am so happy with this purchase. I don't eat the healthiest and need a product that helps provide my body with the nutrients it needs. I don't like pill form supplements because often times they are filled with fillers, that once finally digested, there is little to no nutritional value.Wheat grass offers so many benefits and I've heard it over and over again. I always thought it was extremely expensive though, so I really never thoroughly did my research to make the purchase. I was at a flea market in Florida and a vendor over heard me taking about being a Breast Cancer Survivor and she told me to start drinking wheat grass immediately! She educated me on the benefits and why it's so good for our body. It helps to alkalize the body, which is pertinent for me because cancer thrives in an acidic atmosphere and cannot survive in a well alkalized body. She told me that this is the brand that she uses and swears by. She said it gives her increased energy, focus, and all around just makes her feel better.The directions state to mix with 8 ounces of water or mix into a smoothie. If you've never had any form of protein powder or powder form greens, this may be a bit hard for you to get used to. It's gritty and I'm not going to lie, it tastes like grass. It is so worth it though because of the benefits it offers the body. For me, mixing it with 8 ounces of water is just too painstaking. I usually mix it with 2 ounces of water and chug away.I've been taking it for 7 days now and I can honestly say that I have more energy than I have in a long time. I'm normally very lethargic, lack motivation, have no desire to work out, etc. I wasn't sure if it was working or not until I forgot to take it one day and I couldn't believe how I felt. I was back to my sluggish self.Every morning, while I am waiting for my coffee to brew, I mix it up and chug it down. I have found that I drink far less coffee now that I did before I started taking it. Most days now I can barely finish one cup of coffee.In the last 2 days, I've biked and walked over 10 miles. I haven't walked 10 miles in the last 3 months combined. It's a great start to the day. I love the fact that it's Organic, USDA Certified, Non GMO, Vegan and Gluten free. With so many products on the market these days, it is important to know what we are putting into our bodies.I highly recommend this for anyone and everyone. It contains essential vitamins and minerals the body needs and it keeps the body alkalized. For an added boost, mix it with alkaline water instead of regular water.A bit of background: I (28F) have had major energy issues since HS due to chronic illness (mental health related). I also have bouts of insomnia regularly which doesn't help obviously. I first tried wheat grass out of curiosity because it was free. It was a fresh flash frozen shot that was already mixed with liquid from Whole Foods, not powder. I really liked the energy effects and avoided using anything else because I assumed that a powdered version would be "weaker". I decided to say fudge it and get this because I could just put it in my shakes and it's cheaper. I am SO GLAD I did!Cons: Taste is really bad. The first time I used it I had a major bathroom emergency but from day 2 on I haven't had that issue again. Don't drink too late in the day or you might have trouble settling down for sleep.Pros: It is NOT weaker! It's stronger!! I literally don't need coffee anymore. I went from drinking an actual pot of coffee per day (not an exaggeration), or more, to not needing it at all and feeling much better than I did with the coffee. I think I had 2 drinks of my morning coffee today just because I felt bad for making it and not drinking it lol.I did put this in my protein shakes at first (protein powder, frozen fruit, water, ground chia seeds, scoop of wheat grass) but honestly the taste made it not great so I started just putting a scoop into a glass of water in the morning and drinking it first thing and it WAKES ME UP.I'm on day 5 of using it and honestly it's been a miracle for me. I have written maybe one review ever (there was some get $ off if you do thing) but I had to come on just to write a review of this.If you suffer from insomnia or mental health issues that make you tired, PLEASE try this! xxgets the job done! i use half a scoop because the flavor is pretty strong but half a scoop is way less noticeable in my smoothies. :)This stuff is great! I put it in my smoothie in the morning and it has made a big difference! I feel great!Great stuff
