Dear lokhi maa
In India wheat barley and oats combination is considered as a complete (nothing else required) breakfast for everyone even their combo porridge is easily available in market.....even for eating babies..,mothers and docs prefer this....when my baby was declared thalassemic...... My neighbour (have knowledge of home made medicine) told me to gave him wheat and barley juice(homemade)for maintaining HB and enhancing energy level but......my foolishness ...I take her as granted ......but recently an Ayurvedic doc told me same thing.......still now I m confused regarding iron concentration... That's why asked Andy.....I m also waiting for his answer......just like wheat powder....barley powder is also available in market. Before asking to Andy I had searched on (internet)Google about "benefits of barley and wheat juice for thalassemia" and is satisfied with readings
I had also ordered IP6 ....from US....let's see......Andy reply????

Lokkhi,
Barley powder is made from barley grass, much the same as wheatgrass. I would advise checking the iron content before using it.

Hello everyone....

Dear Hardik,
As per Andy's suggestion:-
The dose would be 500-1000 mg daily and the powder can be mixed with liquid.Adding it to a nutritious smoothie is a good way to get kids to take it. :smiley
