Healthy digestion is an integral part of overall health and wellbeing
How does BARLEYMAX® help with healthy digestion?
BARLEYMAX® Super Barley™ is a whole grain with a high amount of fibre, specifically resistant starch.
Resistant starch is a fermentable fibre that good bugs use to create food for themselves and thereby provide an optimal healthy microbiome, which in turn delivers a healthy digestive system.

A healthy digestive system
A healthy digestive system is an integral part of overall Health and Wellbeing.
There is increasing evidence that the gut microbiome has an influence on many health and disease outcomes including cancer, cardiovascular disease, immune function, insulin production and more.
Studies have proven that a whole grain rich diet can significantly improve digestive health. However, a typical Western diet (high in fat and refined carbohydrates and low in fibre) disrupts the balance of the gut microbiome, which can negatively affect disease outcomes.
To encourage a healthy microbiome, it is important to eat more fibre, especially fermentable fibres such as resistant starch, as it is these that good bacteria use to nourish the lining of the digestive tract. Resistant Starch is the component in food that manages to make it through the digestive processes in the stomach and small intestine to feed the microbiome in the large intestine
