Green Barley Grass Juice Powder
Barley grass juice powder is an exceptionally nutritious food and offers a number of health benefits. Japanese health researcher Hagiwara states that
the leaves of cereal grasses provide the nearest thing to perfect food
that the barley planet offers.
Green barley contains an abundance of phytochemicals including antioxidants known
to protect the body from free radical damage. Barley Grass Juice offers
a chlorophyll-rich whole food with a natural balance of beta-corotene,
proteins, minerals, amino acids, active enzymes and vitamins C and E ,
B1, B2, B3 and B6 among others.
In addition, Green Barley Grass Juice is said to help reduce inflammation and
pain, benefits pregnant and lactating women and helps protect against and to
detoxify radiation in the body, heal wounds and promote bowel health and
regularity.
Ordinary dried Barley Grass is approx. a five times concentrate of the
fresh grass. Our Organic Green Barley Grass Powder is approx. a fifteen times concentrate.
The low nutrient hard to digest cellulose is discarded leaving only the
juice that is then dried using a spray dry technique.
