Green Barley

Green Barley possesses tremendous nutritional qualities. It contains abundant dietary fiber, chlorophyll, antioxidants, enzymes, and other nutrients such as Beta-glucan which research demonstrated can significantly reduce diabetic patient LDL cholesterol levels. In fact, a meal containing 10% beta-glucan can reduce the glycemic peak by 50%1. Barley leaf extract can help scavenge free radicals and inhibit LDL oxidation. Furthermore, the addition of vitamins C and E to barley leaf extract can effectively suppress the oxidation of LDL and prevent the cardiovascular disease2. With the richness of antioxidant and anti-inflammatory substances, purified green barley extract (PE) has been applied to the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients, and shows promising results3.
The middle-aged and elderly usually have relatively high uric-acid levels which lead to the occurrence of gout. A dysfunctional uric acid metabolism causes urate crystal deposition in the joints triggering a painful inflammatory reaction. Green Barley, an alkaline food, can neutralize uric acid. Thus, it is very beneficial in alleviating the symptoms of gout. The richness of antioxidant enzymes, SOD and CAT4 in green barley is very effective in treating oxidative-related diseases, such as vascular, liver and kidney diseases, diabetes, different kinds of cancer and other chronic diseases. Green barley, a nutraceutical, plays an important role in maintaining one's health by supplementing the nutrient deficient diets of busy people living in a stressful and toxic world.
