A powerful antioxidant due to the high amounts of vitamins E and C – both of these vitamins work in tandem to scavenge and neutralise free radicals which cause oxidative stress to cells. Further anti-oxidant properties are provided by the minerals copper and manganese, these two minerals marry perfectly together with manganese being necessary to utilise copper’s anti-oxidant properties. Manganese also assists with the metabolism of cholesterol, amino acids and carbohydrates.
Our Organic Barleygrass Power also contains and generous helping of B vitamins; B2, B3, B6 and B9 (folate), all of these vitamins are powerful brain detoxifiers and assist in protecting the central nervous system – when the central nervous system is working properly symptoms such as anxiety and stress can be prevented.
With over 50% of high quality protein, barley grass is a complete protein (containing all 9 essential amino acids), this is in the form of polypeptides – these are simpler and shorter chains of amino acids which the body finds easier to assimilate into the bloodstream and tissues.
Also present barley grass is the little know mineral molybdenum, this is an essential trace mineral which helps to jumpstart a number of the body’s important enzymes.
Containing 11 times more calcium than milk and 5 times more iron than spinach, our Organic Barleygrass Powder makes a great addition to your breakfast or post workout smoothie!

Reared under warm sunlight, in rich organic soil, these Barley grass plants were harvested carefully by hand at the tender age of 4-5 months just as they enter the ‘jointing’ phase of their lives. Jointing typically means that the Barley grass starts to stretch and transform into an adult plant. At this stage the plant has assimilated a great deal of nutrients from the soil to help push it into adulthood. Harvesting during this period guarantees a magnified amount of beneficial compounds in the plant. The young Barley Grass are then ready for a rigorous selection process. Only the very best specimens are used to be quick dried and then powdered using a freezing air crushing method. It takes less than an hour for the Barley grass plants to be cut and then made into powder ensuring the most important constituents are preserved in the end product.
Barley grass should be introduced gradually to enable the body to get used to any detoxification reaction, if introduced into the diet at higher levels too suddenly symptoms may occur. Detoxification symptoms can be varied but may include: headaches, fatigue, diarrhea, colds and flu, and skin outbreaks.
