Facts About Green Barley:
Flavonoids
These compounds were first discovered by Nobel Prize-winning biochemist
Alber Szent-Gyorgi, who considered them essential to health because they
seemed necessary for protecting blood vessels and capillaries. He
discovered that flavonoids greatly enhance the absorption and
effectiveness of Vitamin C in preventing leaky capillaries and so he named
them "vitamin P" (for "permeability factor").
Flavonoids are responsible for the bluish-purple colors of many fruits,
vegetables, flowers, and outer skins of nuts such as the peanuts.
Flavonoids are known to possess potent antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and
immune-enhancing properties. They have a beneficial action on numerous
physiological processes in the body and have been found to benefit the
heart, blood vessels, liver, immune system, connective tissue, adrenal
glands, kidneys, musculature and nervous systems. The flavonoid compound,
2"-O-GIV was first isolated by Osawa et. al. in 1992 from young barley
grass juice and found to possess potent antioxidant activity.
Over the last decade, 2"-O-GIV has been well-studied by Dr. Takayuki
Shibamoto and colleagues at the University of California, Davis. They have
found that 2"-O-GIV, present only in young barley grass, is an extremely
effective antioxidant in preventing free-radical oxidation of lipids found
in the skin and blood. Similar to other flavonoids, 2"-O-GIV enhances the
antioxidant actions of vitamin C. It also helps prevent the formation of the
toxic compounds malonaldehyde and acetaldehyde, which are known to
denature proteins and DNA.
