Herb Highlight: Barley Juice Powder

Barley, a member of the grass family, is a major cereal grain, serves as a major animal feed, used to make beer and certain distilled beverages, and used in soups, stews and bread.  Barely Juice Powder, like Nature's Sunshine's product, uses barley greens extracted from young barley plant leaves, which can assist in the build-up of strong anti-viral properties and helps boost the immune system.

These greens are rich in minerals, detoxifiers, chlorophyll, blood cleansers and enzymes.  Barley Juice Powder provides more vitamin B1 and calcium than milk, more vitamin C than several oranges, more iron than found in a serving of spinach, all 8 essential amino acids, flavenoids, chromium, potassium and made up of 20% protein.  Talk about a powerhouse supplement!

Barley juice has been used to help strengthen the pancreas, gallbladder and spleen, regulate stomach function, build healthy blood cells, moisten dryness, soothe inflamed membranes and support the nerves. Barley juice's mildly laxative effect helps to cleanse the intestinal tract, while its supply of enzymes helps to break down indigestible or toxic substances in foods.

Barley juice itself is easy to digest, making it an excellent nutritional supplement for convalescents and invalids.  Many drink barley juice to promote longevity!
