Activated Barley

Sunwarrior’s Organic Activated Barley improves upon an ancient superfood that has been used for thousands of years to boost performance, enhance immunity, and maintain endurance. By activating the barley, Sunwarrior elevates this raw superfood to a new level of vitality. The barley is taken to the brink of germination before being powdered. This suspends it at the highest point of bio-energy where it contains the best mix of fiber, enzymes, and the ultimate slow burning carbohydrate.

• Slow burning carbohydrate provides sustained energy*
• Low on the Glycemic Index*
• Thousands of active enzymes*

Soluble fiber from foods such as Activated Barley, as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol, may reduce the risk of heart disease. A serving of Activated Barley supplies 2 grams of the soluble fiber necessary per day to have this effect.

Ancient warriors ate barley to fuel their training, long marches, competitions, and ferocious battles.

Activation
Water vapor and low temperatures allow our barley grains to sprout before they are fermented, dried, and powdered. Why? Seeds and grains lock away nutrients that are reserved to give the plant a fighting chance once it begins growing. These energy stores account for the massive growth a seedling undergoes in the first days after sprouting. It also explains how a tiny sprout has the ability to push aside comparatively large amounts of dirt and rocks before it reaches sunlight and starts making its own food. Sprouting activates and unlocks these vital nutrients while fermentation makes them more bioavailable.

• Increased absorption
• Improves digestion
• Provided probiotics

Energy
Barley is rich in complex carbohydrates that break down slowly, are absorbed slowly, and burn slowly. This sounds like barley won’t supply much energy, but it actually means the opposite. This slow use of carbs provides a steady, long-term stream of glucose to power muscles and the brain, and nourish cells throughout the body. This doesn’t cause the spikes and valleys that come from other carbohydrates which result in ups, downs, fatigue, and crashes.

• Provides long-term energy for increased stamina and endurance
• Supplies the fuel to repair and rebuild after workouts

Blood Sugar Control
Barley is also very low on the glycemic index, much lower than other grains, and the beta-glucans in barley actually lower the index of anything barley is added to.

Blood Pressure
Whole grains like barley and brown rice are rich in fiber.

Cholesterol
Barley has been studied often for its abilities to lower cholesterol. The beta-glucans and fiber in barley have been linked to cholesterol levels in multiple studies.

Immune System
Beta-glucans act as immunomodulators. They trigger the immune system to be more active, vigilant, and effective. Beta-glucans stimulate macrophages and lymphocytes which seek out and destroy viruses and malfunctioning cells.

• Encourages the immune cells to communicate with one another
