HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Barley Alcohol Free by Herbal Terra

Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

What’s inside

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 1 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

This product contains one active ingredient: barley grass extract in dry form. It's made from concentrated barley grass, which is where the plant's nutrients are stored.

The liquid also includes glycerin and water as inactive ingredients to deliver the extract.

Does it work?

Strong evidence
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed

This product doesn't appear to be marketed for a specific use, so we graded Barley's overall clinical evidence instead.

Strong

Strong clinical evidence supports Barley for:

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.
  • Since the label doesn't commit to one use, we graded the ingredient's overall clinical evidence instead.
  • On file: Coronary heart disease (CHD) — rated "Likely Effective" (Natural Medicines).
  • On file: Hypercholesterolemia — rated "Likely Effective" (Natural Medicines).

The evidence supports barley for helping with cholesterol levels and heart disease risk. Our data rates it likely effective for both high cholesterol (hypercholesterolemia) and coronary heart disease.

That said, this product is a concentrated supplement form, not the whole grain — the strength of that evidence in extract form specifically isn't detailed in our data.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Barley

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 1 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Barley is generally well tolerated as a food. The most common side effects are mild digestive ones: bloating, gas, abdominal distension, and an unpleasant taste.

Some people may have allergic reactions, especially those sensitive to barley or other grains. Barley contains gluten, so it's not safe for anyone with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.

Safety data on concentrated barley supplements during pregnancy and breastfeeding is limited. The facts we have cover barley as an ordinary food, not these concentrated products.

If you're pregnant or breastfeeding, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking this supplement.

Meds to double-check

Moderate interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Moderate identified

The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Barley.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • For scale: 1 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

Check with your pharmacist if you take triclabendazole (Egaten), a parasite medication. Barley may reduce how well it works in your body.

No other interactions are documented for the ingredients we could check.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with strong clinical evidence behind its ingredients' uses. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Barley grass extract is backed by solid evidence for cholesterol and heart health — but only if you're not taking triclabendazole. It's generally easy on the stomach, though bloating and gas can happen.

Skip it if you have gluten sensitivity or celiac disease. Check with your pharmacist before you start, especially if you're on any medications.
