Celiacs and gluten intolerant
Dandy Blend is gluten-free, according to tests conducted by Elisa Technologies Laboratory .The process by which all the extracts are made uses only water, and gluten is not water soluble, so it stays behind.. What you get is all the nutrition from the barley and rye, but none of starch or gluten.     Back

Competitive weight lifters
Muscle Media magazine editor Bill Phillips had this to say about dandelion and competitive weight lifting: “Because dandelion is rich in potassium and protects the liver, I and other body builders I know use a powdered extract of dandelion instead of prescription diuretics to drop water before muscle-building contests and photo shoots. The dosage is 250 to 500 mg, taken three times a day with loads of water.” Dandy Blend is the easiest way to get dandelion into your diet. Simply add one teaspoon to a cup of cold or hot liquid, stir, and it is ready to drink. Each teaspoon contains 630 mg. of combined chicory and dandelion extracts, both of which are effective, potassium-rich diuretics. They drain the body of excess water and, at the same time, replace the potassium that leaves in the urine, making potassium supplementation unnecessary.    Back

Asthma sufferers
According to Dr. John Heinerman of the Medical Research Center in Salt Lake City, Utah , “Asthma sufferers and people with airborne allergies find considerable relief by drinking warm Dandy Blend. It unclogs air passages and expands them.”    Back

Macrobiotic dieters, weight loss, Weight Watchers
There is no fat in Dandy Blend. A cup of Dandy Blend looks like water to Weight Watchers point counters- 0 points! There are only 5 calories in a cup, and Dandy Blend, because of its large supply of potassium and trace minerals, has an appetite-suppressing effect as well.    Back

Gastroesophogeal reflux
As compared with coffee, which has some 208 acids, Dandy Blend is free from acid. Because of the substances in dandelion that stimulate production of bile, fats entering the body are emulsified and transported to the places they are supposed to go or eliminated from the system. People who struggle with acid indigestion or gas from fried or fatty foods find that eating dandelions with their meal helps to eliminate those “gastric challenges.” Dandy Blend, with 630 mg. of dandelion/chicory root extract per cup, does the same thing simply by stirring a teaspoonful into a cup of milk or water.    Back

Low carbohydrate dieters
Dandy Blend has only 1 gram of carbohydrate per cup, and that is mostly from fructose contained in the dandelion and chicory roots.    Back
