What is Aktivated® Barley?
Aktivated® Barley is a slow release, low glycemic index, carbohydrate source and general ‘super-food’. It is rich in beta glucan, fibre, highly bioavailable proteins, essential fats, enzymes and minerals.
How is Aktivated® Barley different to ‘regular’ barley?
Aktivated® Barley is formed when organic barley is put through a unique patented process called the OFO-Method™, named so after its Swedish inventor Owe Forsberg. This process involves exposing organic barley to differing levels of pressure, humidity and temperature. These applications significantly increase the energy and nutritional levels of the barley whilst activating previously dormant enzymes.
Where to find Aktivated® Barley:
Organic Barley has always been a popular source of nutrition, and is commonly found in cereals, oat-based foods and soups. Aktivated® Barley however is not widely available. It is a ‘premium’ food source that would make cereals unaffordable to most if it were used as the main source. It is however being used more commonly in the sports nutrition industry as an addition to meal replacements due to its impressive nutritional profile.
Aktivated® Barley can also be referred to as:
Aktivated Barley Starch, Aktivated Barley Powder, Activated Barley Starch, Activated Barley Powder.
***Unless you see the ‘®’ symbol then the product you are looking at does not use the patented process that produces Aktivated® Barley.***
Why use Aktivated® Barley?
If you are looking to improve your athletic performance then supplementing with Aktivated® Barley as such will not have an immediate impact, certainly not to the extent that something like creatine or arginine would for example. That being said, the indirect benefits of using Aktivated® Barley are clearly evident:
Provision of Sustained Energy — Due to its low glycemic index of between 20-30, Aktivated® Barley releases energy slowly. This makes it an ideal carbohydrate source for all kinds of athletes looking to ensure they have sufficient energy to train and perform to their optimum levels at all times.
Increase Muscle Mass — To gain quality muscle, it is commonly said that it is 80% diet, 20% training. Protein of course is the most important muscle building nutrient, however carbohydrates such as Aktivated® Barley can also play a significant role. Combining Aktivated® Barley and Whey Protein Concentrate 80% for example would provide you with the protein, carbohydrates, fibre, minerals and enzymes that are optimal for muscle growth.
Why use Aktivated® Barley?
Give your Immune System a Boost — The risk of illness and infection is greater in those who exercise frequently due to the rise in free-radicals within the body. Aktivated® Barley contains very high levels of beta glucan. Beta glucan has been described as ‘the most powerful immune system enhancer known to science’. It has been proven to stimulate the immune system, thus protecting the body from viral and bacterial invaders.
Maintain a Healthy Body - Aktivated® Barley not only stimulates the immune system but it also contains high levels of essential fats such as Omega 3 and omega 6. Furthermore there is consistent scientific data that suggests beta glucan can significantly lower cholesterol levels in the user.
