Nervous system

Constant stress and anxiety — what to do

Tension builds up quietly until it starts interfering with sleep and work. Talbina has long been linked to soothing the heart — and clinical data backs that up.

What the science says

Anxiety (BAI) — reduction over 12 weeks

Talbina−39%
Control−14%

Woo et al., 2019, Nutrients — 80 patients, 12 weeks.

How Talbina relates to this

Tryptophan and magnesium in barley take part in serotonin synthesis and nervous-system regulation, and preparing and eating Talbina has long been part of an evening ritual of calm.

"The Talbina soothes the heart of the patient and relieves him from some of his sadness"

Sahih al-Bukhari, 5417

Talbina is a whole-grain barley porridge made to a Sunnah recipe, with no additives or sweeteners. Barley and the beta-glucans described above are its foundation.
