Fresh flavor and more enzymes
While I think this product is overpriced, the price reflects the care in its preparation.  The low temp C02  method takes considerably longer and is more delicate than "oven drying" offered by its competitors.  I started using Barley Juice over 30 years ago made by Japanese in Oxnard, Ca.  Synergy tastes pretty much the same and is less expensive than my original brand.  One adage says, "the most expensive medicine is the one that doesn't work."  Better to pay  a little extra and have the desired effect.
