Barley grass - a wide spectrum of potent nutrients

Research in the late 20th century revealed that young barley grass is the most nutritious of the green grasses. While barley has been used as a grain since ancient times, the value of barley as a grass was overlooked. Japanese researchers discovered that the young, green barley grass was an incredibly complete source of nutrition containing a wide spectrum of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, proteins, enzymes, chlorophyll and phytochemicals. They also discovered that young barley is at its nutritional best before the beginning of the reproductive cycle, when the plant channels nutrition to the seed heads. In fact, when harvested at this early stage, young barley leaves have a different chemical makeup from their adult counterparts.

A dilemma arises when we, as humans attempt to derive nourishment from this nutrient-rich barley grass. We are not equipped with the enzymes to break down the fiber in the barley grass and release the nutrients. Thus, without intervention this nutrition is not soluble and therefore not bioavailable to the human body.

As research progressed on young barley grass it was discovered that when grass was juiced and fiber removed, this vast nutritional storehouse was unlocked for human use - it became bioavailable. However, the nutrients in the liquid state were quite fragile and must be consumed within a very short time to retain their nutritive value. To provide a longer shelf life one more step was needed to make this barley juice readily available to humankind.

A Unique processing method

How can the nutrients in barley grass be kept from oxidising and losing their potency? AIM uses an advanced processing technology, in which the barley leaves are harvested with state-of-the-art equipment when their nutrients are most potent and alive. Within minutes, the leaves are juiced (not milled, as in many other barley grass products) and processed using the most advanced and efficient cool processing method for maximum freshness and nutrition. Maltodextrin is added to the juice to act as a buffer between the enzymes and other molecules, stabilizing and maintaining the nutrients. The juice is spray-dried using a special low-temperature process. This preserves the delicate balance of nutrients and phytochemicals. This nutrient-dense whole food becomes an ideal fast food. We call it AIM BarleyLife®. Among these nutrients several deserve a closer look.

Lutonarin and Saponarin

Lutonarin (7-0-GIO) and Saponarin (7-0-GIO) serve as very powerful antioxidants. Lutonarin is the superior antioxidant of the two and is found in high concentrations in AIM BarleyLife®. Research in New Zealand has observed that lutonarin and saponarin content in barley leaves increases with UV exposure. This indicated they may provide antioxidant protection against environmental stresses.

Vitamin K

Vitamin K is a fat-soluble vitamin needed to maintain proper blood clotting. Recent studies have also shown positive results in relation to vitamin K and maintenance of bone density. A study at the Hebrew Rehabilitation Center foe the Aged found that a healthy diet containing ample amounts of vitamin K may help to ensure adequate bone density and protect against osteoporosis and hip fracture in postmenopausal women. AIM BarleyLife® products contain between 84 percent to 100percent of your Reference Dailly Intake (RDI) of vitamin K per serving.

Chlorophyll

Chlorophyll has been studied for its potential in stimulating tissue growth and in stimulating red blood cells in connection with oxygen supply. A remarkable similarity has been found between chlorophyll and the red pigment in the blood. According to an article in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute, chlorophyll fed to laboratory animals reduces absorption of three dietary carcinogens: heterocyclic amines (found in cooked muscle meat), polycyclic hydrocarbons (found in smoked and barbecued food), and aflatoxin (a mould on peanuts). The chlorophyll formed complex compounds with carcinogens while they were in the digestive tract, limiting their bioavailability.

Chlorophyll also removes carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide and has been found to reduce fecal, urinary and body odor. In addition, it has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Chlorophyll is one of the most fragile nutrients in AIM BarelyLife®. By testing for chlorophyll content during processing and throughout the shelf life of the product, AIM's Quality Assurance team insures the viability of nutrients in AIM BarleyLife®.

Vitamin A

Vitamin A, a fat-soluble vitamin plays an important role in vision, growth and development, immune functions, red blood cell production, reproductions and the development and maintenance of healthy skin, hair and mucous membranes. In the vitamin A family, beta-carotene (found in AIM BarelyLife®) is the most efficient of the carotenoids for conversion to vitamin A in the body. Vitamin A is also an important antioxidant known to protect cells. It is implicated in cardiovascular health and is believed to have anti-cancer benefits.

Folic Acid

Folate is a water soluble B vitamin that occurs naturally in food. Folic acid is a form of folate that is found in some food and also in supplements. Folic acid helps produce and maintain new cells. This especially important during periods of rapid cell division and growth such as infancy and pregnancy. It is needed to make DNA and RNA, the building blocks of cells. Reseach has shown that women who take folic acid before and during pregnancy have a 70 percent reduction in incidents of spina bifida and other neural tube defects. Folic acid also hepls prevent changes to DNA that may lead to cancer. Both adults and children need folate to make normal red blood cells and prevent anemia. Three servings a day of AIM BarleyLife® provides approximately 20 percent of your RDI of folic acid.

Q and A

Can I take AIM BarleyLife® while taking medication?

As Long as your health practitioner has not forbidden you to eat salads or green vegetables, you can use AIM BarleyLife®

Is there anyone who should not use AIM BarleyLife®?

AIM BarleyLife® is whole food concentrate, so most people should be able to take it. Those with severe medical problems or complications should consult a health practitioner before introducing something new to their bodies. Those on a restricted diet (especially in regards to 'green foods' ) should also consult a health practitioner.

I started taking AIM BarleyLife® and I feel worse. Why?

When you make a change in your diet, your body often goes through a cleansing known as detoxification. This can manifest itself in fatique, rashes and headaches. It is your body flushing out toxins. For more information, see AIM's Detoxification data sheet.

What is maltodextrin?

Maltodextrin is a soluble (dissolvable) complex carbohydrate that acts as a buffer to keep enzymes and other molecules apart so they do not react and denature (lose their healthful properties). It is not a simple sugar (dextrose, fructose, sucrose, table sugar, corn syrup, etc) and does not behave like a simple sugar. AIM's maltodextrin is derived from cornstarch.

What makes AIM BarleyLife® so smooth tasting?

A state-of-the-art spray dryer delivers very small particles. The small particles result in maximum dispersion, providing more uniform distribution in liquid. The small particle is extremely soluble in liquid, producing less grittiness and great taste. The result is a smooth texture, great taste and excellent solubility when mixed in water or juice.

How much natural sugar in each 5g serving?

Each 5g serving contains only 1g of natural sugars, derived mainly from the barley juice.

Are capsules completely vegan?

Yes AIM BarleyLife® capsules are completely vegetarian on composition and acceptable in a vegan diet.

How quickly do the capsules dissolve?

AIM's vegetarian capsules have been shown to dissolve within 5 to 10 minutes in water. Dissolution may be more rapid in the stomach's acid.

Why is Lo Han used in AIM BarleyLife® Xtra?

Lo Han, shortened from Lo Han Kuo (plant name: Siratia grosvenorii) is a member of the cucumber and melon family. Used for centuries as a sweetener in China, Lo Han's sweetening ingredients, mogrosides are 300 times sweeter than sucrose when extracted with water and dried. This allows us to minimize the amount of natural flavouring added and maximizes the nutrients from the barley juice, fruits and vegetables while providing a delightfully sweet fruit taste.

Is there more vitamin C in AIM BarleyLife® Xtra than in the other varieties of AIM BarleyLife®?

Yes, the percentage of vitamin C per serving is larger in AIM BarleyLife® Xtra than other AIM BarleyLife® products. Acerola cherry powder, used in AIM BarleyLife® Xtra is one of the richest sources of natural vitamin C available today. The 15 natural fruit and vegetable powders used as flavouring in AIM BarleyLife® Xtra bring their nutritional content to the mix, enhancing the nutritional profile, including increased levels of vitamin C.

Is the 'natural cream flavour' from dairy cream?

The natural cream flavour is a comination of naturally derived ingredients that mimic the taste of cream. The ingredients are derived from vegetable sources only and acceptable for vegans. The 'cream' does not contain dairy products.
