Product detailed description

Strength and endurance - Stimulation of metabolism - Memory and mental health - the enzyme superoxide dismutase (SOD)

Barley grass is one of the earliest cultivated foods on the planet, popular even in the days of the gladiators, who were strong and resilient partly thanks to barley grass.

It is a rich and balanced source of vitamins, minerals, amino acids and enzymes. Nutritious young barley green shoots provide a source of natural chlorophyll and antioxidants. Barley grass is gluten-free, since all the gluten is present in the barley grain. It is therefore a safe food supplement even for people who cannot tolerate gluten.

Benefits of young barley:

Young barley powder is similar to wheat but is easier to digest. Nutritionally, young barley leaves contain all vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and detoxifying substances, proteins and enzymes. In addition to chlorophyll and a range of vitamins, minerals and enzymes, it is also believed that grass from young barley contains thirty times more vitamin B1 than milk, 3.3 times more vitamin C and 6.5 times more carotene than spinach, 11 times the amount of calcium compared with cow's milk, almost five times the iron content compared with spinach, and so on.

Regular consumption of young barley helps prevent the ageing of the body. Scientific research shows that juice from barley grass is a useful dietary supplement for various conditions, including arthritis, migraine headaches, asthma, fatigue and gastrointestinal disorders, and also helps improve the condition of the skin. It is also highly effective in reducing cholesterol levels and blood sugar levels in type 2 diabetes.

Many people have noticed weight loss with regular consumption of barley grass. According to scientific research, this is due to the increased presence of the enzyme cytochrome oxidase, which is essential for cell metabolism. Barley grass also contains another enzyme: superoxide dismutase (SOD), a powerful antioxidant that protects cells from toxic free radicals, believed to be a primary culprit in ageing and many other diseases.
