BARLEY GRASS
Product No. P02013
Barley is a widely cultivated hardy plant that can be grown under a greater variety of climatic conditions than any other grain.
The use of barley for food and medicinal purposes dates to antiquity - agronomists place this cereal grass as being cultivated as early as 7000 BC, and roman gladiators were known to eat barley for strength and stamina.
Barley Grass Powder is extracted from the organically grown young leaves of barley by dehydrating the green juice of the leaves to a fine powder at room temperature, using a special patented spray-drying process.
An array of vitamins and minerals are found in green barley leaves, which have the ability to absorb nutrients from the soil. By the time barley leaves are 12-14 inches high, they contain many vitamins, minerals, and proteins necessary for the human diet, along with chlorophyll. These are easily assimilated throughout the digestive tract, giving instant access to vital nutrients such as potassium, calcium, magnesium, iron, copper, phosphorus, manganese, zinc, beta carotene, vitamin B1, B2, B6, C, folic acid, and pantothenic acid. Green barley juice contains 11 times the calcium found in cow’s milk, nearly 5 times the iron in spinach and 7 times the vitamin C in oranges.
Substances within barley grass have been shown to have strong anti-inflammatory actions, and actually repair the DNA in the cells of the body. They can aid in the prevention of carcinogenesis, ageing, and cell death by protecting against toxic free radicals, and are believed to help suppress, and even cure, pancreatitis, stomatitis, inflammation of the oral cavity, dermatitis, and lacerations of the stomach and doudenum.
Regular supplementation with green barley grass juice may stimulate weight loss, which research has shown is due to the enhancement of the cytochrome oxidase enzyme system, which is essential for cell metabolism. It is also believed to improve stamina, sexual energy and clarity of thought, as well as the texture of the skin, helping to heal the dryness associated with ageing.
In addition, research in Japan and other countries suggests that green barley juice powder can be beneficial for asthma, anaemia, arthritis, gastritis, peptic ulcers, diabetes, obesity, cellular damage from x-rays, heart disease, and hepatitis.
Barley grass juice is a milder alternative to wheat grass juice, which is extremely detoxifying and makes some people nauseous.
