Barley grass is also a rich provider of powerful antioxidants, essential amino acids, and beneficial enzymes. It also supplies valuable fiber to the body and does not offer any harmful cholesterol.
Barley grass can be consumed as a juice extracted from cereal grass sprouts or in the form of green powder by spray drying the grass. It brings relief in a range of health conditions:
Antioxidant Power
Barley grass has impressive antioxidants. Along with vitamin E and beta-carotene, barley grass is the most potent supplier of healthy and critical enzyme superoxide dismutase which helps neutralize the effects of oxygen free radicals produced during energy metabolism. The protective action of these radical scavengers prevents the development of a wide array of diseases caused by oxidative stress.
Relieves Ulcerative Colitis

Another beneficial effect of barley grass is its protective action against the cell destructing effects of UV radiation. It extends a therapeutic relief on the existing damaged cell owing to the presence of superoxide dismutase enzymes. Regular consumption of barley grass juice aids in reducing the stress in the people who are more prone to exposure such as population in urban cities.
It also acts defensively against the effects of radioactivity and even renews the cells and tissues damaged by radioactivity. This attributes to the presence of chlorophyll content which improves the resistance to radioactivity and also encourages the production of new blood cells. For this reason, it is generally recommended to drink barley grass juice pre and post-exposure to x-rays to provide a shield against the radioactive damages.
