Does Wheat Grass Pill have Carbs?

My ds wants me to take wheat grass pills with him for more energy etc...

Does anyone know anything about wheatgrass? Does it make your heart pump faster? Is it good for people with partially enlarged hearts?

Does it have carbs? Any nurses out there who can answer this question?

I did a google search, and found for wheatgrass powder, 1 teaspoon has 1 gram total carbs, 120 milligrams of sugars. 1000mg tablets have total 2g carbs (doesn't list sugars seperately.)


Some good general information here, along with products and the nutritional info: http://www.herbalremedies.com/wheatgrass.html

Hope this helps.

Thanks Yavie -

I went to the sites and placed them in my favorites folder so I could read them tonight.

I would suggest asking your doc or family nurse.
