barley grass

Barley grass is rich in vitamins and minerals, has antioxidant properties, and has been shown to reduce cholesterol levels. Use as a cancer preventive or treatment has been suggested; however, this remains to be substantiated.

Organic barley grass is juice extracted from green barley grass and consumed for a wide range of health benefits. It has been reported to give consumers more energy and to aid in digestion. It also is used to treat the symptoms of asthma, migraines, and arthritis. Although it can be consumed as a freshly squeezed juice, most people buy organic barley grass as a powder and then add it to a glass of water or take it as a capsule. In addition, there are some non-organic brands, but the organic brands ensure that the barley grass is grown without using chemical fertilizers or pesticides.
