THE VERDICT
“The ‘Enzymatic’ Supergreen. Our analysis confirms these capsules contain 100% Organic Hordeum vulgare leaf powder, harvested at the critical ‘Jointing Stage.’ This specific timing ensures the powder is Gluten-Free while retaining peak levels of Superoxide Dismutase (SOD) a powerful antioxidant enzyme often lost in older plants. Rated 9.7/10 for enzymatic activity and alkalinity.”– Back To Your Roots Herbs Research Group
SENSORY ANALYSIS: The Physical Profile
We opened a capsule to verify the harvest quality.
Authentic young Barley Grass has a distinct “Spring” profile.
- The Aroma: Upon opening, you will detect a fresh, Sweet Hay and Grassy scent. It smells like a freshly mowed lawn. This indicates high Chlorophyll content and low oxidation.
- The Look: A vibrant Light Green powder.
- The Taste: Mildly sweet and very grassy. The capsule format is essential for those who find the taste of liquid greens challenging.
How does Barley Grass support Anti-Aging?
Research suggests it is a source of Superoxide Dismutase (SOD).
- The Herb: Barley Grass (Hordeum vulgare).
- The Compound: SOD (Enzyme) and Flavonoids (Lutonarin).
- The Mechanism: SOD is an enzyme that breaks down potentially harmful oxygen molecules in cells (Superoxide radicals). As we age, our natural SOD levels drop.
- The Outcome: Supplementing with raw greens helps replenish these enzyme stores, supporting cellular repair and reducing oxidative stress. (Source: Oxidative Medicine and Cellular Longevity, 2018).
Is Barley Grass Gluten-Free?
Yes, when harvested correctly.
- The Science: Gluten is found only in the grain (seed) of the barley plant.
- Our Process: We harvest the grass at the “Jointing Stage” when it is young and leafy, long before the grain head develops. This ensures the product is naturally Gluten-Free and safe for those with sensitivities.
CRITICAL USAGE: Dosage & Alkalinity
Use this to buffer acidity.
- Standard Dosage: Take 2 Capsules in the morning and 2 Capsules in the evening (Total 4 daily).
- The “Alkaline” Kick: Take immediately upon waking with water. This helps buffer stomach acidity and alkalize the system after a night of fasting.
- Hydration: Drink plenty of water to help the fiber expand and move through the digestive tract.
