In the tender weeks after birth, your body gives endlessly — and still carries all the wisdom it needs. Sometimes, it just needs a gentle reminder.
That reminder can come from beta-glucan from barley malt: a natural compound that helps milk flow more freely, supports balance in the postpartum season, and gives mothers the confidence that their bodies can do what they were designed to do.
What makes beta-glucan unique
Beta-glucan is a soluble fiber found in barley and oats. It works with the body, softly guiding the natural rhythm of lactation.
Science shows it can:
• Encourage prolactin, the hormone that signals milk production.
• Calm inflammation, which can interfere with milk flow after birth.
• Support immune balance, helping the body feel steadier during recovery.
It’s about gently reminding your body of what it already knows: how to open, how to nourish, how to flow.
Evidence that matters to mothers
Clinical research shows that beta-glucan can be as effective as prescription galactagogues like metoclopramide — but without the side effects that often make mothers hesitant: no dizziness, no nausea, no changes in mood.
In one study of 128 women with low milk supply, just 14 days of barley malt intake led to remarkable outcomes:
• 95% of mothers noticed improved lactation.
• Babies gained an average of 35.8g/day (above the normal 26–31 g/day).
• Expressed milk volume increased 2.4times.
• Formula use dropped 2.6 times.

For a mother, these aren’t just numbers. They mean fuller feeds, less worry, and more confidence in the body’s ability to provide.
