When choosing a barley green product, look for one that is freeze-dried. Heat destroys the enzymes in barley green. So ingesting a heat-processed barley green product would be like eating cardboard - it wouldn't hurt you, but it sure wouldn't do you much good.



Barley green usually comes in two different forms - tablets and powder. Tablets are easy to swallow and are great for people on the go.

Barley green powder requires a bit more work, as you have to mix it with juice in order to consume it. But it has the added benefit of faster uptake by the stomach. And, once you've built up the alkalinity in your body, barley green will taste really good.

When buying a barley green product, find one that's 100% barley green. Some companies dilute their barley green products with fillers like kelp or seaweed. Barley green is extremely nutrient dense and doesn't need any other ingredients mixed with it. Thus, the only reason to mix another green product with it is because these other products are a lot cheaper and save the manufacturer money.

Expect to pay between $40 and $60 for a 10 oz bottle of barley green powder. And $30 - $60 for a bottle of barley green tablets.
