Barley grass is comprised of the young green shoots which sprout from barley. Barley grass generally grows for 200 days and is then harvested.

This dried powder can be rehydrated or taken in a capsule form.

Barley grass is a particularly good source of vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin B1, vitamin B12, calcium, iron, chlorophyll, potassium and more. Barley grass also provides all nine essential amino acids. The human body does not produce these amino acids and so they must be consumed from outside food sources like barley grass.
Barley grass has shown promise in reducing cancer cells. Much of this is believed to occur due to the rich levels of antioxidants in barley grass, in particular one particularly potent antioxidant which is called alpha-tocopherol. Alpha-tocopherol is an antioxidant related to vitamin E. While more research is needed, the alpha-tocopherol in barley grass seems to hold powerful antioxidant properties which seem to show promise in eliminating and preventing several different types of cancer.
Barley grass is also used to help restore the body to the optimal levels of alkalinity. Barley grass is a very alkaline substance. When it is digested, it can help lower the acidic levels of the body thus restoring it to a more optimal state. Cells work better when they are in a balanced pH. Exposure to stress, toxins and other acidic foods may make the body acidic. This results in fatigue and other symptoms. The high alkaline levels of barley grass remedy this problem thus providing increased energy.
Barley grass is also associated with reducing the signs of aging, helping damaged cells to repair, reducing the risk of cancer and more.
