Barley Grass Powder is the best functional food that provides nutrition and eliminates toxins from cells in human beings; however, its functional ingredients have played an important role as a health benefit.
In order to better cognize the Preventive and Therapeutic role of Barley Grass for Chronic Diseases, we carried out the systematic strategies for functional ingredients of Barley Grass, based on the Comprehensive Databases, especially the PubMed, Baidu, ISI Web of Science, and CNKI, between 2008 and 2017, ALMOST NINE (9) YEARS.
Barley Grass is rich in functional ingredients, such as Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid (GABA), Flavonoids, Saponarin, Lutonarin, SuperOxide Dismutase (SOD), K, Ca, Se, Tryptophan, Chlorophyll, Vitamins (A, B1, C, and E), Dietary fibre, Polysaccharide, Alkaloid, Metallothioneins, and Polyphenols.
Barley Grass promotes sleep; has an Anti-diabetic effect; regulates blood pressure; enhances immunity; protects liver; has Anti-acne/detoxifying and Anti-depressant effects; improves Gastro-intestinal function; has Anti-cancer, Anti-inflammatory, Anti-oxidant, Hypolipidemic, and Anti-Gout effects; reduces Hyperuricemia; prevents Hypoxia, Cardiovascular diseases, Fatigue, and Constipation; alleviates Atopic dermatitis; is a Calcium supplement; improves cognition; and so on.
These results support that Barley Grass may be one of the best functional foods for preventing chronic diseases and the best raw material of modern diet structure in promoting the development of large health industry and further reveal that GABA, flavonoids, SOD, K-Ca, vitamins, and tryptophan mechanism of barley grass have a Preventive and Therapeutic role for Chronic Diseases.
This paper can be used as a shred of scientific evidence for developing functional foods and novel drugs for barley grass for preventing chronic diseases.
