Diamond Green Barley 100% organic with Spirulina & Alfalfa 70%/20%/10%
The organic Spirulina we use is a blue-green algae, harvested from the world's cleanest, deepest ocean off Hawaii. Of all the algae, it has emerged as the most potent and most nutritious and is a superior source of highly digestible protein. The deep waters from which Spirulina draws its nourishment are a source of calcium, magnesium and all the essential trace elements. No other Spirulina is grown with such a rich source of naturally occurring nutrients.

Alfalfa Information
The first documented use is by the Chinese dating back to the 6th century. Chinese healers use alfalfa for kidney stones and normal water retention. First discovered by the Arabs who dubbed it “the father of all foods” the leaves of the alfalfa plant are rich in minerals including calcium, potassium and carotene to support the heart and normal cellular division. In Victorian times, English herbalist Dr John Gerard recommended alfalfa for upset stomachs and to strengthen the immune system. He discovered that the leaves of this remarkable legume contain eight essential amino acids and that it is an excellent cleanser and natural diuretic. It is also a remedy for joint stress in athletes and is reputed to be an excellent appetite stimulant and overall tonic. Its benefits include –
- Excellent source of nutritive properties
- Minerals
- Chlorophyll
- Vitamins
- Thyroid Support
- Blood purifier
- A host of phytonutrients
It is used in the support of urinary tract health including kidneys, bladder and prostrate. It detoxifies the body especially the liver and has estrogenic properties and the phyto-oestrogens in Alfalfa are excellent in supporting the the female cycle and helping menopausal problems.
IMPORTANT NOTE
Due to its very high nutrient content, Alfalfa is often given as a remedy for convalescing patients. However, it should be avoided in large doses if taking Warfarin, suffering with SLE (Lupus), on HRT or The Pill or during pregnancy or lactation. The amount of Alfalfa present in Diamond Green Barley with Spirulina is only 10% so is acceptable in the above regard as this amount is not considered a large dose.
