Promotes health digestion
Uncomfortable bloating and constipation can accompany your pregnancy journey and this is where barley's nutrient fiber – beta-glucan – comes into play.

Pregnancy hormones like progesterone slow down digestion and as the baby grows, there's added pressure on the intestines. This often leads to constipation, which is not only uncomfortable but can also cause other issues like hemorrhoids.

Barley's high fiber content helps keep things moving smoothly through the digestive system. Soluble fiber absorbs water and forms a gel-like substance in the intestines – making stools easier to pass. Incorporating barley into a pregnant woman's diet could significantly relieve constipation – keeping the gut healthy and reducing discomfort.
