This study focused on examining how free phenolic extracts from barley can protect the liver. We found that administering these extracts to mice significantly reduced markers of liver damage. Additionally, the extracts increased levels of important antioxidant enzymes in the liver.
In lab tests, the extracts also helped protect liver cells from damage and cell death. Overall, our findings suggest that barley grass could serve as a functional food that may effectively aid in preventing liver injury.

We explored how barley sprout extract (BSE) can help protect against liver damage caused by alcohol. In our study, we found that BSE not only inhibited harmful oxidative stress but also boosted the activity of important antioxidant pathways in mice.
Specifically, BSE enhanced the activity of a protein called Nrf2, which helps increase glutathione levels—an essential antioxidant. This suggests that barley grass might be a supportive option for liver health, especially in the context of alcohol consumption. Overall, the findings show promise but further research in humans is needed.

We investigated how barley sprout extracts (BSE) impact liver health, particularly in the context of alcohol-induced liver disease. In our studies with mice, those receiving high doses of BSE showed a significant decrease in fat buildup in their livers compared to those on an alcohol-only diet.
Not only did BSE help reduce fat accumulation, but it also activated important pathways related to fat metabolism. This suggests that barley sprout extracts can potentially support liver health by promoting fat breakdown. However, these findings are based on animal studies and require further exploration in humans for validation.

Restoring liver health
6 people found this helpful
My husband has a relatively high fatty liver, and I help him drink 6g of barley grass juice with 200ml of water on an empty stomach every morning for a week, followed by 6 spirulina tablets on an empty stomach, and then 15ml of Liposomal Glutathione every morning with water. These three supplements are used alternately, and I believe the liver can be repaired slowly with these remedies.

When the liver filters the barley grass juice, it effectively removes heavy metals and toxins. Additionally, this juice can repair DNA and boost immunity. I plan to regularly take barley grass for body cleansing.

We explored how modified highland barley (MHB) impacts liver health and gut microbiota in mice on a high-fat diet. Over ten weeks, six groups were fed different diets, with MHB showing significant improvements in liver function and lipid levels compared to those without MHB.
Interestingly, MHB also positively affected gut bacteria diversity and increased levels of beneficial short-chain fatty acids. Our findings suggest that MHB, particularly HB-1, may be a promising dietary option for supporting liver health and managing high lipid levels.

We examined how Lactobacillus-fermented black barley impacts rats with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Using four different diet groups, we treated some with the fermented barley for 12 weeks. The results showed that this treatment significantly reduced body and liver fat, improved liver function, and enhanced beneficial gut bacteria.
This suggests that fermented black barley could be a promising dietary option to help manage NAFLD and maintain gut health.

Mood improvement

Absolutely wonderful! After taking Green Magma following a course of the antibiotic Ciprofloxacin, I experienced strong negative emotions initially. However, I felt my liver clearing almost immediately after taking it. My mood improved rapidly, and I found it easier to breathe. I appreciate this supplement greatly and will not return to that toxic antibiotic.

Detoxification aid

Barley grass is beneficial for regulating the body, helping to detoxify the liver and remove heavy metals. Originally, I disliked green juices due to their grassy smell, but I found this one more palatable. It balances acidity and can oxygenate the vascular system, and I experience fresh breath and body odour after using it.

We investigated the impact of Highland barley β-glucan on non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in mouse models fed a Western diet. The study focused on how this barley polysaccharide could modify gut microbiota to combat liver lipid accumulation.
The findings showed that Highland barley β-glucan effectively altered gut microbiota composition, increasing beneficial short-chain fatty acids. These changes may activate key metabolic pathways to improve liver health. However, it remains unclear how this treatment translates to human cases of NAFLD, leaving more research needed.

We explored the potential of barley grass polysaccharides in addressing liver problems caused by high-fat diets. The study involved mice and showed that barley grass polysaccharides, known as BGP-Z31, helped reduce fat accumulation and support liver function.
While the treatment did improve certain markers and reduced oxidative stress, it didn’t change the overall diversity of gut bacteria. Nevertheless, it positively influenced the composition of the gut microbiome. Overall, BGP-Z31 appears promising as a dietary supplement for tackling hyperlipidemia.

We reviewed the health benefits of highland barley, particularly its effects on liver disease. This traditional Tibetan medicine is derived from fermenting highland barley with specific fungi.
Our findings highlighted its potential in treating nonalcoholic fatty liver disease and protecting liver function. While it holds promise, we noted that more research is required to ensure quality control and proper medical use.
This study serves as a foundational overview for those interested in highland barley and its therapeutic potential.
