Can you O.D. on “green superfoods” like wheatgrass powder?
I found this detox idea that I want to try for a couple of days:
Mix one teaspoon of green powder (I have a mix of chlorella, wheatgrass, barleygrass, and alfalfa in my green powder) with a glass of fresh unsweetened fruit juice. Have two glasses in the morning and one glass whenever you start to feel hungry throughout the day. This can be done up to 10 days.
It sounds pretty easy, but what worries me is that the dosage on the box of green powder says to have one to two teaspoons a day… but this diet recommends having like as much as you want, could be three or four times the recommended dose.
So, can you overdose on these green supplements? Aren’t they pretty much harmless?
If you have too much of these super foods you would probably get the runs as these super foods are usually laxative in large amounts.
