Nutrimuscle organic barley flakes are for:

• Athletes, for their slow-release energy during exercise
• Inactive people, who can reap the benefits of their high fibre content, or enjoy them as part of their diet plan

In the morning
Combine 75 to 100 g of Nutrimuscle organic barley flakes in the morning with 30 to 50 g of whey protein to provide your muscles with energy and protein.

Between meals
Take 40 to 100 g of Nutrimuscle organic barley flakes with 20 to 30 g of whey protein to fill in any anabolic gaps.

Before a training session

Taking 50 to 75 g of Nutrimuscle organic barley flakes one hour before a workout provides extra energy for your muscles. Combine Nutrimuscle organic barley flakes with milk protein to put your body in perfect stead for a training session.

During a training session
To combat fatigue, consume 30 to 50 g of Nutrimuscle organic barley flakes every 30 minutes. They can be combined with whey protein, amino acids, or BCAAs.

After a training session
In addition to your whey protein, to aid energy and muscle recovery, add 50 to 100 g of Nutrimuscle organic barley flakes. Consume 50 to 100 g of Nutrimuscle organic barley flakes one hour after training with your protein to prolong the post-workout anabolic response.

You can mix Nutrimuscle organic barley flakes with milk or mineral water. That liquid could be:
Hot - in this case Nutrimuscle organic barley flakes will expand and soften faster
Warm - in this case the expanding and softening processes will take longer

As part of a diet plan, it's best to allow Nutrimuscle organic barley flakes to puff up for a long time, as you'll feel like there's more to eat when they're full of liquid. The mixture will then be 'heavier' in your stomach, which will fill it up and keep hunger at bay. When you're building muscle, you won't have to leave them to soak as long, so you can absorb the maximum amount of calories for a minimum effort in terms of digestion.
In addition to the liquid and cereals, it's important to add protein powder in order to perfectly nourish your muscles. During and after training, and as a snack during the day and in the morning, opt for whey protein. Before training, in the evening, or when your meals are spaced out as part of your diet plan, opt for milk proteins. Sweeten with sucralose, stevia, or Nutrimuscle Nutri-aroma for a delicious taste without adding sugar.

Synergies between supplements
Nutrimuscle organic barley flakes improve the assimilation of protein and amino acids.

Adverse reactions between supplements
Nutrimuscle organic barley flakes tend to slow down the assimilation of whey protein and Peptopro®.

It's rare for consumers to have access to the names of the suppliers of the raw materials that go into the supplements they consume. However, this is essential to ensure product traceability. At Nutrimuscle, we only use top quality organic barley flakes, the quality of which is guaranteed by global leaders: DAVERT produces Nutrimuscle's organic barley flakes at its factory in Germany.

German group DAVERT GmbH represents a guarantee of quality, as this company has been selling certified organic food for more than 25 years. This means that DAVERT has specialised in organic products since long before it became a trend. DAVERT makes organic products out of passion, not simply to follow market trends. They've always believed that organic is the only way to eat healthily.

Thanks to their leadership, DAVERT one of the leading suppliers of organic food in Germany. Many years of experience have earned them a great deal of expertise, particularly in terms of their carefully selected farmers, with whom they have long-lasting relationships. DAVERT's organic standards do not simply meet the minimum requirements for certification. They go way beyond that. Their cereals are all subject to systematic compliance analysis by an independent laboratory.

On the other hand, DAVERT has developed innovative cereal separation and cleaning systems, which make it possible to achieve a very pure product. Just like Nutrimuscle, DAVERT's philosophy is to focus above all on product quality. Their offerings are made affordable thanks to bulk, simple packaging and minimalist marketing. And like Nutrimuscle, DAVERT is against GMOs and refuses to use them.

Choose between Nutrimuscle organic barley flakes and Nutrimuscle organic oat flakes: whichever you prefer! However, a few simple rules can help guide your choice, especially when it comes to dieting.
Nutrimuscle organic barley flakes are larger and harder than Nutrimuscle organic oats, which require more chewing and will take longer to digest. This will prolong the feeling of fulness, which is an advantage when you're counting calories.
Compared to Nutrimuscle organic oats, Nutrimuscle organic barley flakes expand more in liquid if you leave them. If you leave your Nutrimuscle organic barley flakes to expand in liquid, you'll feel fuller, which makes dieting easier.

1. Carbohydrates are involved in the recovery of muscle function (contraction) after very intense and/or prolonged physical exertion that has resulted in muscle fatigue and depletion of glycogen stores in skeletal muscle. The benefits are obtained by consuming carbohydrates from all sources, with a total intake of 4 g per kg of body weight per dose within 4 hours, and at the latest within 6 hours, of very intense and/or long-lasting physical exertion that has resulted in muscle fatigue and depletion of glycogen stores in skeletal muscle.

2. Protein contributes to the development and maintenance of muscle mass.
