HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Jurassic Green Nutritious Powder by Christopher's Original Formulas
Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.
What’s inside
Low disclosure
This powder contains three active ingredients. Alfalfa juice and barley make up the bulk of the formula, plus non-hybrid wheat grass.
The first two are listed in a proprietary blend, so you won't see the exact amounts of each — just that they're there together. There are no inactive fillers or other ingredients listed for this product.
Does it work?
Strong evidence
The evidence on alfalfa for conditions like diabetes, high cholesterol, indigestion, and menopausal symptoms is insufficient — we don't have reliable data to rate whether it works for those. Barley, though, has solid evidence behind it: it's likely effective for high cholesterol and for reducing risk of coronary heart disease.
We hold no effectiveness data on wheat grass.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Alfalfa is generally well tolerated in food amounts, but as a supplement it carries real risks for some people. The most common side effects are stomach upset, diarrhea, and gas.
Rarely, long-term use has been linked to a lupus-like syndrome, and skin reactions have been reported. Because alfalfa has estrogen-like compounds, the safety data advises against supplement amounts during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
Barley as a food is fine for most people, though it contains gluten — a concern if you're sensitive or celiac. As a concentrated supplement, it's not well studied in pregnancy or breastfeeding.
Like alfalfa, it can cause digestive upset (bloating, gas, discomfort), and some people have allergic reactions ranging from mild tingling to severe anaphylaxis.
Meds to double-check
Major interaction found
Before taking this product, check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take warfarin or other blood thinners, birth control pills or hormone therapy, diabetes medications, immunosuppressant drugs, or medications that increase skin sensitivity to sunlight. Barley may also reduce the effectiveness of triclabendazole if you take that for a parasitic infection.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with strong clinical evidence behind its ingredients' uses. Major medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
This powder may help with cholesterol and heart health thanks to its barley content, but the evidence for alfalfa's other claimed benefits isn't established. The bigger issue is the potential for serious drug interactions — especially if you take warfarin, birth control, diabetes meds, or immunosuppressants.
Check your exact medications with your doctor or pharmacist before you start, and watch for digestive side effects once you do.

General Statements
Jurassic Green is grown on nutrient dense virgin soil (a natural pre-historic lake bed) and harvested at peak times of nutritional value. The plants are immediately juiced and flash dried in a vacuum chamber at a temperature range of 85-90 degrees, which is a prime environment to retain the active enzymes, vitamins, trace minerals, amino acids and chlorophyll.
Jurassic Green is an excellent natural whole food source of many vitamins including A, B1, B2, D, E, K, and trace amounts of Calcium, Folic Acid, Iron, Magnesium, Niacin, Phosphorus, Potassium, Silicon, and Sodium.

Jurassic Green Nutritious Powder by Christopher's Original Formulas Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Jurassic Green Nutritious Powder by Christopher's Original Formulas contains alfalfa juice and barley, both of which have documented interactions with medications.
The most serious is alfalfa's potential to reduce the blood-thinning effect of warfarin (Coumadin) — a Major severity interaction — because alfalfa is high in vitamin K, which can interfere with how warfarin works.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Alfalfa also interacts at Moderate severity with birth control pills and hormone therapy (estrogens), since it contains plant compounds with estrogen-like activity that might reduce their effectiveness. It may similarly interfere with diabetes medications, raising the risk of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia), and could reduce how well immunosuppressant drugs work.
Additionally, alfalfa might add to the skin-sensitivity effects of photosensitizing drugs.
Barley has one documented Moderate interaction: it may decrease the effectiveness of triclabendazole (Egaten), a medication for certain parasitic infections, though this effect has only been shown in animals so far.
We could not check non-hybrid wheat grass for interactions. Altogether, these interactions span 584 individual medications.

For each ingredient in Jurassic Green Nutritious Powder with known interactions, here are the types of medications they can affect. Open any type for the detail — or search your exact drug in the checker above.
Alfalfa Juice
Warfarin (Coumadin)
Theoretically, alfalfa might reduce the anticoagulant activity of warfarin.
Alfalfa contains a large amount of vitamin K. This could theoretically interfere with the activity of warfarin.
Antidiabetes Drugs
Theoretically, alfalfa might increase the risk of hypoglycemia when taken with antidiabetes drugs.
Animal research suggests that alfalfa decreases blood sugar in diabetic mice. Also, in one case report, a diabetic patient experienced hypoglycemia after consuming alfalfa extract. Monitor blood glucose levels closely. Dose adjustments might be necessary.
Contraceptive Drugs
Theoretically, alfalfa might interfere with the activity of contraceptive drugs.
Alfalfa contains coumestrol, a phytoestrogen, and isoflavonoids, which have estrogenic effects.
Estrogens
Theoretically, alfalfa might interfere with hormone therapy.
Alfalfa contains coumestrol, a phytoestrogen, and isoflavonoids, which have estrogenic effects.
Immunosuppressants
Theoretically, alfalfa might decrease the efficacy of immunosuppressive therapy.
In vitro research and human case reports suggest that alfalfa may have immunostimulant effects.
Photosensitizing Drugs
Theoretically, concomitant use of alfalfa with photosensitizing drugs might have additive effects.
Animal research suggests that excessive doses of alfalfa may increase photosensitivity, possibly due to its chlorophyll content. It is unclear if this effect would be clinically relevant in humans.
Barley
Triclabendazole (Egaten)
Theoretically, barley might decrease the clinical effects of triclabendazole.
Animal research suggests that a diet supplemented with barley can reduce the bioavailability of triclabendazole when taken concomitantly. This effect has not been shown in humans.
