Join us on Thursday April 29th for a delicious in-store tasting of wheat grass and broccoli juices, all grown and squeezed in Wexford.

Wheatgrass Juice

Enzymes are important for every function in the body. Digestive enzymes such as amylase and protease are found in wheatgrass juice. This is desirable since the body does not have to produce these in order to perform the digestive function of “processing” the wheatgrass juice. Wheatgrass, in its raw state is abundant in enzymes. Juice that has been pasteurised (heat treated) will have lost most or all of its enzymes. Juice that has been spray dried will also have been subjected to high temperatures.

NAC – willpower in a capsule

April 8, 2010 by Jurgen

There has been some ground breaking research done over the last three years into a natural product called NAC or N-acetylcysteine, as it is known technically. The research shows that NAC may help restore an imbalance in the part of the brain that deals with cravings and addictions. This part of the brain is called the nucleus accumbens. NAC may help to restore extracellular glutamate concentration in the nucleus accumbens. This may sound very grand and scientific, but it basically means NAC may have the potential to help the brain to switch off the desire to smoke by correcting a chemical imbalance.

The possibility for use in other areas of addiction (drugs, alcohol, gambling etc.) is very exciting. It is to be hoped the scientific community continue the research into this potentially life changing natural product.

NAC+ capsules, which also contain glutamine, cinnamon and chromium can also be effective to combat food cravings (which can be a problem when trying to quit smoking).
