Barley is a commonly grown grain crop that has been used for centuries to make bread, malt, and beer. The majority of the barley seed consists of starches, which give it high nutritional value. For the purposes of the extract, the starch is mostly removed.
Barley extract contains antioxidant polyphenolic compounds such as flavonoids and organic acids. It also contains proteins and a special polysaccharide compound called ß-glucan (or beta-glucan), which has immunomodulatory properties and is a very beneficial compound for skin healing.
This extract contains gluten.
