Pure Planet Activated Barley (formerly: Aktivated Barley)

Ancient Greco-Roman Food for Weight Loss, Energy, and Endurance

Imagine a food product so concentrated and nutritionally energizing that it could be consumed only twice a day, yet supply long-lasting energy and endurance for both adults and malnourished infants.

Barley grain has a long history as an effective “energy food” for ancient athletes and soldiers. Roman and Greek foot soldiers consumed it while marching across continents. The original Olympic competitors downed a cup of barley before each event. Roman gladiators used barley to boost performance and endurance. Ancient Greek and Roman physicians used specially activated barley as a life-saving breast-milk substitute, for babies unable to nurse.

Revived in a New, More Potent Formula

This ancient Greco-Roman formula was recently revived by the United Nations when relief workers were seeking to thwart malnutrition and starvation in developing nations. The UN widely distributed handbooks containing the ancient method for preparing what came to be known as “barley milk” or “activated barley.”

Don’t confuse barley grass (one of our favorite foods) with activated barley. Barley grass is just that—a grass harvested before it becomes grain. Activated Barley is a grain that has been prematurely sprouted, and through an exclusive patented process, the nutrients and formerly dormant enzymes are activated.

When mixed with beverages, organic, tasteless Activated Barley powder forms a beta-glucan gel that steadily releases nutrients, including essential fatty acids, tocotrienols, and the antioxidant super oxide dismutase (SOD). The product has also been shown to boost the immune system and lower cholesterol.

Great as a Meal Replacement, Weight Loss Aid, or Nutritional Supplement

Activated Barley is the ultimate slow-burning carbohydrate. Its complex carbohydrate chains break down slowly over a period of 2-3 hours, providing a steady supply of calories to the blood and helping avoid blood glucose crises.
