Barlico Bagged the Asian Consumers’ Wellness Drink Gold Seal Award from NCAF



March 17, 2018, Manila- Barlico, the coffee substitute raved for its natural health benefits from the world’s healthiest food plants barley and chicory, has recently received the golden seal from National Consumers Affairs Foundation.  The golden seal has recognized Barlico as Asian Consumers’ Choice for Best Wellness Drink in its recently held 38th People’s Choice Global Peace Prize by Consumers Award Ceremony.

“My team and I are beyond proud to have received the golden seal as Asian Consumers’ Choice for Best Wellness Drink. Ever since we introduced Barlico into the market, we have been determined to promote it as a wellness drink, so this is a milestone for Barlico, “ Sharmane Mulder, Barlico’s President and CEO noted. “This healthy brew brings out the superhero in you with its organic superpower health benefits.”
Barlico may have been popularly known as a coffee substitute, but this healthy drink is more than just that. It is made of barley grass from barley plant, which is among the earliest grown sweetgrass in the world that traces its history even before 5000 BC, popular among ancient Greeks and Romans. It’s been dubbed as “nature’s best fast food” attributing to its multidimensional health benefits.

Barley is a superfood loaded with  vitamins AB1 (thiamine),  B2 (riboflavin),  B3 (niacin),  B6 folate, , as well as vitamin C (ascorbic acid), vitamin E (alpha-tocopherol) and vitamin K (phylloquinone). It also boasts of electrolytes such as phosphorous, magnesium and potassium, along with other essential minerals such as calcium, zinc and iron.  Barley is also a provider of powerful antioxidants, essential amino acids, and beneficial enzymes. It also supplies valuable fiber to the body and does not offer any harmful cholesterol.
Barley is one of the most widely consumed cereal grains in the world, with powers to help neutralize the effects of oxygen free radicals produced during energy metabolism. The protective action in barley against these radicals prevents the development of a wide array of diseases caused by oxidative stress, making Barlico an amazing antioxidant and detoxifying drink.

Aside from barley, one cup of Barlico contains healthy superpowers from chicory.  Chicory is a woody, herbaceous plant close to lettuce and cabbage that originated in Europe. It has always been regarded for its wealth of health benefits with similar flavors and aroma of coffee. The chicory in Barlico makes a perfect treat in replacement of coffee, without actually getting the bad effects of coffee such as palpitation, stomach upset and acidity.  Chicory in Barlico also helps ease digestive problems, as well as significantly improves the balance of blood and plasma in the body, which reduces the chances of cardiovascular diseases.
