What is barley grass?

Barley grass is the young shoot of the barley plant (Hordeum vulgare), harvested at its optimal growth point, when its leaves are full of nutrients. Unlike barley grain, the grass is a green superfood that concentrates vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, chlorophyll, and enzymes. Pines International offers this superfood in tablet form, made from organically grown, unprocessed barley grass, thus preserving its natural properties. It is a simple way to incorporate a serving of dark green leafy vegetables into the daily diet.

Benefits of barley grass

Barley grass is a natural source of nutrients that contribute to the maintenance of health. Among its components are:

• Vitamin C: contributes to the normal function of the immune system and the protection of cells from oxidative damage.
• Vitamin E: helps protect cells from oxidative stress.
• Vitamin K: contributes to normal blood clotting and the maintenance of bones.
• Iron: contributes to the normal formation of red blood cells and hemoglobin, and the normal transport of oxygen in the body.
• Calcium: necessary for the maintenance of normal bones and teeth.
• Fiber: contributes to an increase in fecal bulk and normal intestinal transit.

These nutrients are naturally present in barley grass, making it an ideal supplement for those who wish to increase their intake of plant-based micronutrients.

Key ingredients

This supplement contains 100% organic powdered barley grass, without additives or excipients. Its natural ingredients include:

• Chlorophyll: the pigment responsible for the green color, known for its antioxidant properties and its ability to contribute to cellular oxygenation.
• Beta-carotene: a precursor of vitamin A, essential for normal vision and skin maintenance.
• Enzymes: such as superoxide dismutase (SOD), which helps neutralize free radicals.
• Amino acids: all essential amino acids the body needs for protein synthesis.

Each tablet is a concentrated source of these nutrients. The production process ensures that the integrity of the bioactive compounds is maintained.
