NutraStat Barley Beta-Glucan Fiber Supplement (185g)

This is a great product. Polysaccharides, a.k.a. beta-glucan, are a crucial factor in good health. It is actually the beta-glucan found in oat bran that gives rise to the health claim that Cheerios cereal reduce cholesterol and improve heart health (from a landmark 1980s study). Barley has the same kind of fibre, as it happens! So too do medicinal mushrooms, such as lion's mane, reishi, chaga, turkey tail, cordyceps, et al. If I recall correctly, the glycogen in these mushrooms is perfectly well-suited to the human (other mammals' too, surely) digestive system: it's almost as if we coevolved, or developed in symbiotic tandem. Anyway, I could not recommend this product highly enough! This is more affordable source of beta-glucan (albeit without some of the benefits from the various sesquiterpenes) than such medicinal mushrooms. (If you want an even more affordable option—one that requires preparation and cooking, but the most affordable—you may also get oat bran, pot barley, even just quick oats. Polysaccharides are great for immunity! They get into your lymph and act as antibodies to heal viral cells and assist your white blood cells (I think I'm remembering that right...). Great stuff.

Great non flavour, easy on the stomach
Looking forward to testing my cholesterol and having a lower reading!
