Barley Grass also has a high content of chlorophyll. Chlorophyll is similar in structure to haemoglobin, therefore it has been shown to increase the oxygen carrying capabilities of the blood. Oxygenated blood can provide numerous health benefits including increased energy, improved brain function and extra defences against unhealthy toxins. Chlorophyll also acts as a powerful antioxidant that neutralises toxins in the body by purifying blood and cleansing the cells helping the body to reduce the effects of harmful toxins and free radicals. Barley Grass is also recognised for its high superoxide dismutase (SOD) content. SOD helps with the digestive process by helping to disperse vitamins and minerals into the blood stream.
