Barley Grass Powder vs Barley Grass Juice Powder

Due to the ever-growing research on its dynamic health benefits, Barley grass is becoming increasingly popular. Brands including us, Teaveli have gone one step ahead with launching a more concentrated form of the grass- Barley grass juice powder. Other popular products in the market include Vimergy Barley grass juice powder and Triquetra Barley grass juice powder. But is the hype around Barley grass juice powder really worth it? 

Along with other greens like kale, spinach, and wheatgrass, barley grass is gaining popularity at juice shops, health food stores, and supplement stores. This superfood is used to boost weight loss, enhance immune function, and support overall health among other benefits. But, why are there so many different options (barley grass juice powder and barley grass powder to name a few), and which provides the most benefits to our health?

WHAT ARE BARLEY GRASS JUICE POWDER & BARLEY GRASS POWDER?

 The grain Barley is considered the fourth most important cereal crop around the globe. However, the leaf of this grain is known by many names, such as barley leaves, barley greens, and green blood. It has been studied extensively for its beneficial health effects, as well as the benefits of each type of processing it may undergo. Although fresh barley grass can be tricky to find, other forms are easily available, the two most common being Barley Grass Juice Powder and Barley Grass Powder.They sound similar and both are derived from the same plant, but there is a difference in how each is processed.  

While the nutrients remain the same in each type of powder, the dehydrated barley grass powder’s cellulose content remains intact, which is indigestible for humans. As well, it is usually lighter in color.

Barley grass juice powder, on the other hand, has a higher concentration of beneficial nutrients with the indigestible cellulose no longer present, resulting in a much darker color.

IS BARLEY GRASS JUICE POWDER A BETTER ALTERANTIVE TO BARLEY GRASS POWDER?

Barley juice grass powder is carefully juiced from tender stalks of young barley grass. The younger the grass, which is known as peak harvest, the more nutrients available!

During juicing, the indigestible cellulose found in all plants is broken down (and later removed). Cellulose makes up most of the thick cell walls of barley grass and is used as insoluble fiber when ingested. When broken down, however, cellulose releases beneficial phytonutrients to be absorbed by the body.

The Barley grass juice is then dried at very low temperatures to protect and preserve the precious bio-active enzymes and other nutrients creating a nutritional juice powder.

The lighter green barley grass powder, on the other hand, comes straight from the young barley grass. The blades are gathered, dried, and processed into a powder. The nutrients in barley grass powder are not as concentrated as they are in juiced grass because the powder maintains all of the cellulose.

SURGE IN POPULARITY OF THE OF BARLEY GRASS JUICE POWDER?

According to Anthony Williams of Medical Medium, Vitamins A, C, and B, as well as the minerals iron, calcium, potassium, magnesium, and phosphorus, are abundant in barley juice grass powder.

Supports Balanced Energy Levels

Having steady and consistent energy levels throughout the day is important for many reasons. Aside from productivity and having the energy to stay active and healthy, proper energy levels are an indication that our body is feeling safe -- if chronic fatigue becomes our new norm, this is typically a sign something is off in our bodies.

Barley grass is very high in protein, containing 20 amino acids (including 8 of the essential amino acids that the body can’t produce itself). This helps to provide the body with steady energy as well as a satiated feeling throughout the day. As well, Barley Grass Juice Powder contains the enzymes fatty acid oxidase, cytochrome oxidase, peroxidase, catalase, and transhydrogenase. All fancy terms to describe the nutrients needed to help the decomposition of fats in the body proceed smoothly. This helps avoid the fatigue that comes with the digestion of multitudes of fat sources.

Moreover, Barley grass has a structural similarity to haemoglobin (the oxygen-containing unit in the blood) and thus results in a higher oxygen supply to all the tissues. Our bodies cannot function at top speed without a constant and fresh supply of oxygen to the working tissues, making barley grass juice powder helpful in maintaining the energy during movement.

Apart from these, Barley grass contains two antioxidant enzymes superoxide dismutase and cytochrome oxidase that have the potential to convert excess free radicals to hydrogen peroxide and oxygen molecules, inhibiting oxidative DNA damage.

Supports Digestive Health

Barley grass is low in calories but abundant in fiber, making it an excellent weight-loss supplement. Fiber passes slowly through your body, making you feel fuller for longer, reducing appetite, and curbing cravings.In fact, several studies have found that increasing fiber intake could boost weight loss. For example, one study in rats on a high-fat diet found that drinking barley grass juice reduced body weight and BMI more effectively than drinking a control beverage.

It's also high in chlorophyll that supports gut health, a healthy immune system and healthy pH levels. It’s often said that the gut is the the second brain of the body, as it is the first defense against many potential threats we ingest.

Keeping the gut healthy not only improves digestive health, but has been demonstrated to boost immunity, alkalinize the body, aid digestion, reduce constipation, and promote skin, hair, and nail health.

Easy to Dissolve, Does Not Clump

Barley grass juice powder is said to be more water-soluble than dry barley grass powder and may dissolve fairly easily in drinks as the powder is extremely fine.

However, this depends on the brand and quality of the product sourced. Look for brands that provide pure and potent Barley grass juice powders that dissolve easily.
