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.
