Besides feeling "nourished" when I drink it, I get more energy. This new formula that is ground to a finer powder is so much easier to swallow and it goes down so easily. After trying so many other barley drinks, this one is the best--smells fresh, not "moldy" and very, very fresh. I'm glad that I finally found a product of this sort that I can use on a daily basis. Go Boomers!
