The distribution of the grass juice factor in plant and animal materials. Randle S, Sober H, Kohler G. J. Nutr. 1940. 20:459-466
Guinea pigs were fed on winter milk plus various supplements. Those fed
on a supplement rich in the grass juice factor (rye grass) showed
strong growth.
Various plants were assayed for the grass juice factor. Based on
average weight gain in guinea pigs the best sources of this growth
promoting substance were dehydrated cereal grass (cerophyl), rye grass,
young white clover, peas, pea shells, cabbage, spinach. Cereal grasses
are an excellent source of the factor but the amount present varies
with the age of the plant.
It was also noted that the amount of grass juice factor in plants varied according to the age of the plants. Young smaller plants were very good sources of
grass juice factor when compared with older matured plants.
