| Scroll left to right | Super Barley | Probiotic Supplements | Standard Fibre Supplements |
|---|---|---|---|
| Primary function |
Fuel: Nourishes existing "good" bacteria and potentially all other gut microbes.
|
Seeding: Adds specific live bacterial strains to the gut, if the dose and strain survive the digestive tract.
|
Bulk: Helps with regularity and stool consistency, if the amount consumed is enough for the individual.
|
| Fibre complexity |
High: 4 types (Resistant Starch, Beta-Glucan, Fructans & Arabinoxylans). The more fibre types in your food, the better!
|
None: Contains no fibre, unless labelled "synbiotic".
|
Low: Usually 1 isolated type (e.g., Psyllium or inulin), in powder format.
|
| Butyrate production |
Maximum: 4x more resistant starch than regular grains for high SCFA output - shown to reduce inflammation.
|
Indirect: Only if the right strains are present in the right amount, to ferment existing food.
|
Variable: Depends on whether the supplement is fermentable and survives the stomach acids and digestive tract.
|
| Nutrient density |
Whole food: Whole food-matrix benefit, rich in protein, magnesium, zinc and B-vitamins.
|
None: Focussed solely on cultures assumed to be living upon arrival into the gut.
|
None: Isolated fibre with trace levels of micronutrients.
|
| Satiety (Fullness) |
Excellent: Low GI and high bulk wholegrain keeps you fuller for longer.
|
None: Research on hunger hormones is limited but shows a slight effect on only some appetite hormones.
|
Moderate: Temporary fullness and individual variation.
|
| Preparation |
Versatile: Use in cereals, baking, smoothies or enjoy Toasted Super Barley flakes as is!
|
Convenient: Daily pill or powder format.
|
Functional: Usually stirred into juice or water.

Super Barley contains a unique combination of four prebiotics in their natural matrix to support the healthy functioning of your gut microbiome. When you add Elevate Food Co. Super Barley to your meals, you're actively elevating your gut - and overall - health, one spoonful at a time. Level up your health today.
Put simply, prebiotics are a type of dietary fibre. This means they are found in food and cannot be produced by our bodies alone. Prebiotics act as a type of fuel for the beneficial bacteria (also known as probiotics) that reside in our digestive tract. When we eat foods containing prebiotics, they travel through our digestive system and serve to nourish all the different gut bugs along their journey.
