Barleygreen Phytochemicals

Green plants, especially green cereal grasses, are the perfect whole food. They are recognized as the basis of the food chain because they are the ultimate source of nutrition for both animals and humans. Whether our diet includes meat or is a strictly vegetarian one, green plants are our principal source of micronutrients (vitamins, minerals, essential fatty acids, and essential amino acids) and they also provide a wealth of beneficial phytochemicals including antioxidants, enzymes, and chlorophyll, which help to protect and repair the tissues of the body.

In addition, BarleyGreen and our other products that include organic barley grass, contain an array of phytochemicals. These include three special types of phytochemicals that research has shown are important to our health: carotenoids, flavonoids, and chlorophyll.
