HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Organic Barley Grass by Herbadiet

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.

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: organic barley grass. Barley grass is the young leaf of the barley plant and is used as a concentrated supplement.

The capsule itself is made from vegetable cellulose, a plant-based material.

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).

Barley grass shows likely effectiveness for high cholesterol (hypercholesterolemia) and coronary heart disease. The evidence supporting these uses comes from established research on barley's effects on cholesterol and heart health.

Keep in mind that the data we hold reflects barley as a food or extract — the strength and consistency of a supplement form may vary.

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 when eaten as food, and most people handle it without problems. The most common side effects from barley supplements are mild digestive ones: bloating, gas, abdominal distension, and an unpleasant taste.

A small number of people are allergic to barley and may experience reactions ranging from tingling and swelling to, rarely, severe allergic responses like anaphylaxis. Because this product contains gluten, it's not suitable if you have celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.

For pregnancy and breastfeeding, the safety data is limited. Barley as everyday food is considered fine during pregnancy, but concentrated barley grass supplements haven't been well studied in pregnancy — current data rates it possibly unsafe.

For breastfeeding, there's little safety information on concentrated supplements. If you're pregnant or breastfeeding, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking this product.

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.

If you take triclabendazole (Egaten), a medication for parasitic infections, tell your doctor or pharmacist before using this supplement — barley may reduce how well it works. For all other medications, no interactions are documented in our data 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.

Herbadiet's Organic Barley Grass may be worth considering if you're looking to support cholesterol and heart health and don't have a gluten sensitivity. The main thing to watch: if you take triclabendazole (Egaten) for a parasitic infection, check with your doctor or pharmacist first — this product could make it less effective.

Triclabendazole (Egaten)

Theoretically, barley might decrease the clinical effects of triclabendazole.
Animal research suggests that a diet supplemented with barley can reduce the bioavailability of triclabendazole when taken concomitantly. This effect has not been shown in humans.
