According to testing, the main content of β-glucan in Tibetan barley
is 6.57%, with the highest of 8.6%, which is higher than any other
places outside Tibet and is 50 times of the main content of wheat.
Research has proven that β-glucan in barley has three medicinal
and healthcare functions: 1. prevention of colon cancer by reducing
contact of intestinal mucous membrane with cancerogenous substance
or by directly inhibiting cancerogenous microbe; 2. prevention
of Cardiovascular Disease by lowering blood fat and cholesterin;
3. prevention of diabetes by controlling the level of blood sugar.
According to the record Omissions from the Grand Materia Medica,
barley, if used as medicine, tastes salty with cool and mildly medicinal
effect, mainly for descending Qi , strengthening vitality, removing
dampness, inducing diaphoriesis and arresting diarrhea.

Further efforts will be made to the research in the extraction
of β一glucan by the company, which symbolizes the upgrading of the
company from primary raw material processing to high-end biological
extraction process.
