BarleyLife® is green barley grass juice made even better!
Many of you know about the value of green barley juice as one of the
most nutrient rich foods on the planet. We are faced with a variety of
Green Barley products available from many sources.
AIM, the company which has marketed the majority of Green Barley world
wide, decided to do further research into the effectiveness of Green
Barley products and the result is BarleyLife™. The Barley Grass is grown
in a superior environment in New Zealand, a country with very low
pollution and toxicity levels compared to most of the world's countries.
Lab results illustrated that AIM BarleyLife™ has an amazing protein and
amino acid profile, including all the essential amino acids necessary
for adults. Essential amino acids cannot be synthesized in adequate
amounts by the body and must be supplied in foods. They are necessary
for growth and metabolism in the body.
The antioxidant level in AIM BarleyLife™ is beyond expectations. Pushing
back the frontiers of science, AIM funded experts in phytochemical
research to examine the new product. The scientists found that AIM
BarleyLife™ is rich in at least two powerful antioxidants, lutonarin and
saponarin. According to the scientists, of the two phytochemicals,
lutonarin is the superior antioxidant, and it is found at extremely high
levels in AIM BarleyLife™.
Today, our food is so depleted of nutrients because of over-cropping (not
allowing the soil to rest) pesticides and other environmental contaminants. For
optimal health, the human body requires over 80 minerals; it is common practice
for the farming industry to only add 4 minerals back into the soil after
harvest. So, not surprisingly, many people initially find their appetite
increases when taking Barley Life, as the body starts to get the nutrients it
has previously been deprived of. By increasing your dose, in time this balances
and you lose the feeling of hunger. You can then decrease your dose if you wish.
Household food bills are cut down as over-eating and snacking in-between meals
becomes a habit of the past.
Whole body health is achieved when all body systems are in
balance. No single body system is targeted—we make choices that keep all systems
toxin-free and that supply all systems with optimum nutrition.
The result is total wellness: waking up every day feeling great!
AIM BarleyLife® is an all-natural, green barley grass juice powder concentrate
that helps provide the daily nutrition you need to develop a strong foundation
for your good health. AIM
You cannot turn on the TV, read the newspaper or listen to the radio today
without being bombarded by news of the obesity epidemic. Worldwide, over 1
billion people are overweight, including 300 million who are obese (world
population – 6.4 billion).1 Over the past 30 years, the percentage of overweight
and obese people in the US has increased 36% according to the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).2
The most rapidly growing segment involved in this phenomenon is children. While
15 percent of children and teens in the US are overweight, developing countries
are not immune. In Thailand, the prevalence of obesity in 5-12 year old children
rose from 12.2% to 15.6% in just two years.1 At least we’re eating well, right?
Not really. The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition tells us that one third
of the average American’s diet is junk food. According to the World Health
Organization, overweight and malnutrition are occurring simultaneously as
over-consumption of empty foods increases caloric intake without increasing
nutritional value.3
As the quality of our nutritional intake plummets, obesity and related diseases
such as type II diabetes, heart disease and certain cancers are on the rise. The
incidence of children contracting type II diabetes (usually considered an adult
disease) has more than quadrupled since 1990, now claiming 20 percent of all
diagnosed cases of diabetes in children.4 More than 300,000 deaths per year in
the US are attributed to obesity- related disease.5 Too many choices— too little
nutrition Thirty years ago, we went to “the market” where our choices were few
and included mostly whole foods. Today, we head to the “super store,” where we
find a multitude of choices in every food category—mostly highly processed foods
severely lacking in nutritional value. How do we choose the foods we eat? Most
shoppers choose by packaging. If the manufacturer declares, “It’s good for you,”
“it tastes good,” and it’s a “great price,” it goes into the cart.
Unfortunately, the manufacturer’s concept of what is “good for you” and true
nutrition are often two very different things. Take energy drinks for example.
What gives you that tremendous boost? Try looking at the sugar content of your
favorite energy drink. The sugar will temporarily boost your energy, but once
the spurt is gone, you will find your energy lower than before.
What about foods that are “Fortified with vitamins X, Y, Z?” While vitamins may
have been injected into the ingredient list, unless they are present in a form
or combination your body can assimilate, they pass through your system without
contributing to your nutritional needs.
Even when eating seemingly wholesome foods, we are not necessarily deriving the
benefit we should due to the overfarming of our lands, depletion of our soils
and reduction in nutritional value in many of the crops we grow.
As early as the 1920s, nutritional experts warned the US government that the
soils on which most crops were grown Essentials for Life According to the
International Obesity Task Force, 22 million
children worldwide under the age of 5 are overweight. 1The Family were so
deficient in mineral content that the food grown on them contained less than 10%
of the vitamins and minerals they should provide. The expectation was that
action would be taken to replenish the soils leading to more nutritious grains,
fruits and vegetables.
Sadly, the government took no action to correct the problem. In fact, intensive
farming methods have increased the problem. As a result, grains, fruits, and
vegetables today have little vitamin and mineral content. This devastating
result is compounded by the extensive use of chemical sprays causing some fruits
and vegetables to be poisonous.6 With US soilsn depleted, premium whole food and
supplement companies
have had to go beyond US borders to find nutrient-rich soils in clean, green,
pristine environments.
Whole food nutrition
That our modern lifestyle is sadly lacking in well-roundednutrition is an
established fact. The Harvard School of Public Health, in their paper Fruits and
Vegetables, states, “If
you don’t count potatoes—which should be considered a starch rather than a
vegetable—the average American gets a total of just three servings of fruits and
vegetables a day. The
latest dietary guidelines call for five to thirteen servings of fruits and
vegetables a day.” The newest Food Pyramid released by the US Food and Drug
Administration provides customized daily intake recommendations depending on
sex, age, and activity level.7 It is interesting to note that all foods
recommended in the Food Pyramid are whole foods.
Choosing whole, live food (foods with nutrients intact and active) is the key to
health. History and research have shown that whole foods are our most effective
source of nourishment
for many reasons, most notably—balance and bioavailability.
Balance
Everything in nature exists in a delicate balance. Our bodies are an exquisitely
balanced ecosystem. Every aspect of our life from the cellular level upward
exists in a finely tuned harmony. Nutrients are assimilated in our body in
keeping with this balance. For example, to assimilate calcium effectively, the
body needs magnesium, phosphorus, boron, several vitamins, lysine and essential
fatty acids. Calcium taken in isolation will not benefit the body and may become
harmful. An amazing truth is that whole foods provide the needed elements—
vitamins, minerals, enzymes, protein, carbohydrates and fats—in the balance and
combinations the body
requires.
Phytochemicals are a prime example of the balance found in whole foods.
Phytochemicals are nonnutritive plant chemicals that contain protective,
disease-preventing compounds.
They have been associated with the prevention and/or treatment of at least four
of the leading causes of death in North America—cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular
disease and hypertension. Although significant attempts have been made to
isolate phytochemicals, they have proven to be ineffective when isolated from
their plant source. Phytochemicals are only effective when assimilated as part
of balanced whole food.
Bioavailability Most of the nutrients in whole foods are more readily available
for nutritive use in the body than isolated supplements. This “bio-availability”
is the result of the solubility of
whole foods. Solubility means that the substance will dissolve in a liquid
medium, and in the case of nutrition, it must remain in that dissolved state in
the stomach acids and intestinal fluids. Then the body must be able to absorb it
through our intestinal walls into the bloodstream. From there our cells must be
able to metabolize it—utilize the nutrients for energy or tissue construction.
Most vitamin and mineral supplements are less bioavailable because they are not
as soluble as whole foods. For example, vitamin B12 as found naturally in food
is absorbed twice as readily into the blood as the USP isolated form.8 If they
are not soluble, they are not absorbed or metabolized and do the body no good.
Whole foods, on the other hand, contain the live enzymes and other components
necessary for solubility, absorption, and metabolism. As mentioned above, all
whole foods are not necessarily created equal in this day of depleted soils.
Among whole foods, one food stands out above the rest.
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.
How can the nutrients in barley grass be kept from
oxidizing and losing their potency? AIM uses an advanced processing technology,
in which the barley leaves are harvested with state-of-theart 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®.
Using the process mentioned above, the AIM Companies is able to provide this
nourishing food in four tremendous choices: AIM BarleyLife® new harvest powder,
and AIM BarleyLife® capsules. Each AIM BarleyLife® product contains the full
range of nutrients found in young, green barley leaves (see Figure 1). Among
these nutrients, several deserve a closer look.
Lutonarin and Saponarin
Lutonarin (7-O-GIO) and Saponarin (7-O-GIV) serve as very powerful antioxidants.
Lutonarin is the superior antioxidant of the two and is found in high
concentrations in AIM BarleyLife®. Dr. Ken Markham of Industrial Research, Ltd.,
in New Zealand, has observed that lutonarin and saponarin content in barley
leaves increases with UV exposure. This indicates they may provide antioxidant
protection against environmental
stresses.9
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 for 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.10 AIM BarleyLife® products contain between 84% to 100%
of your Reference Daily 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 Institute11,
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 foods) and
aflatoxin (a mold on peanuts). The chlorophyll formed complex compounds with the
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 BarleyLife®. 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®.
Superoxide Dismutase (SOD)
The enzyme superoxide dismutase (SOD) is a powerful antioxidant thought to slow
the rate of cell destruction by providing a defense against free radicals,
especially the most prolific free radical, superoxide. Superoxide free radicals
are thought to be responsible for the breakdown of synovial fluid that leads to
the inflammatory response in joints. Much of the current clinical research on
SOD is focused on arthritis, bursitis, and gout. Low levels of SOD are also
associated with cataracts and other degenerative diseases. In addition, it is
believed to help the body use zinc, copper, and manganese more effectively. New
research has indicated that SOD has been linked with preventing sunburns.12 As
SOD is heat sensitive, it is thought to be the yardstick for measuring overall
enzymatic activity. If SOD is present in a food in an active state, it can be
concluded that the other enzymes in the food are also present in an active
state.
Vitamin A
Vitamin A, a fat-soluble vitamin, plays an important role in vision, growth and
development, immune functions, red blood cell production, reproduction, and the
development and maintenance of healthy skin, hair, and mucous membranes. In the
vitamin A family, beta-carotene (found in AIM BarleyLife®) 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 foods and also in supplements. Folic acid
helps produce and maintain new cells. This is 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. Research has shown
that women who take folic acid before and during pregnancy have a 70% reduction
in incidents of spina bifida and other neural tube defects.13 Folic acid also
helps 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% of your RDI of folic acid.
ORAC values
Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity (ORAC) is a revolutionary new test tube
analysis for calculating the antioxidant power of foods and other chemical
substances. By measuring a substance’s ability to protect against the attack of
free radicals—to act as an antioxidant—ORAC can give quantitative value to
antioxidant activity. The higher the ORAC value the greater the antioxidant
power. AIM BarleyLife® has tested at a higher ORAC value than prunes, which
received one of the highest ORAC ratings among whole foods-
This is just a glimpse of the powerful nutrients found in AIM BarleyLife®.
Attention to detail for the highest quality
AIM BarleyLife® was born out of a vision for better health.
AIM discovered through its over 20 years of experience and ambitious research
that barley juice could be even more powerful simply by paying attention to
detail at every step of the
process.
• AIM’s barley seed varieties provide the widest window of harvest.
• AIM’s barley crops thrive in clean, green, pristine environments in which the
rich nutrients in the soil contribute to the nutrients in the plants and the
juice.
• AIM does not use pesticides, herbicides, or fungicides on its barley crop and
tests to insure the finished product remains free of such chemicals.
• AIM’s barley crops are staggered so that each field is harvested when the
plants are bursting with nutrition.
• AIM’s barley crops are harvested when they are at their nutritional peak,
before they enter the reproductive cycle and use their nutrients to produce
grain.
• AIM’s barley crops are cut only once, allowing for optimum nutrient density.
• AIM’s barley crops are rotated (barley crop followed by a legume crop) to put
nitrogen back into the soil.
• AIM’s harvested barley plants are juiced and chilled rapidly, rendering the
enzymes dormant and preserving precious nutrients.
• AIM’s barley juice is powdered using the most advanced and efficient methods
for ensuring maximum freshness and nutrition.
• AIM’s barley juice product is produced and packaged according to stringent
guidelines, and is quality tested throughout the entire manufacturing process by
in-house and independent laboratories to ensure the greatest purity, nutritional
potency, and quality.
Considered the most nutritional of the green grasses, barley grass
provides a wide spectrum of vitamins, minerals and amino acids, as well
as proteins, enzymes, chlorophyll and phytochemicals. AIM BarleyLife®
contains a small amount of kelp, adding further vitamins and minerals.
Simply mix powder with water or juice.

“AIM BarleyLife™ presents every AIM Member and customer with nutrition
that simply is not available elsewhere. They’ll be thrilled with the
quality and benefits that AIM BarleyLife™ has to offer.”
—Loren Schiele Dallas,TX
In my opinion, AIM BarleyLife® is Mother Nature at her best! The first thing I
noticed while trialling AIM BarleyLife® was the sweet taste coupled with a
smooth fresh texture. I also noticed AIM BarleyLife® dissolved easier on my
tongue. I experienced a new level of energy very quickly -it just amazed me! My
mental alertness seemed to increase and I had an overall sense of general
wellbeing. I love the way it makes me feel. I can see AIM BarleyLife® bringing
incredible improvements in health to many peoples lives -how wonderful!
Jill Colless, Sydney New South Wales Australia
AIM BarleyLife® smells even more richly organic than other green barley juices.
It mixes well and tastes as rich as it smells. During the trial of AIM
BarleyLife® I noticed an increase in energy around the third day. AIM BarleyLife®
is obviously a lot denser, and seems to be more hunger satisfying. Whilst
continuing the trial, I realised I was waking up more alert. I was more
interested in getting ‘going’ in the mornings. Now, having completed the trial
and not having a supply of AIM BarleyLife® until it’s launched, I can’t wait for
AIM BarleyLife® to be available -after all, we need all the energy we can get!
Alistair Welch, Sydney New South Wales Australia
I must admit that when I was first asked to trial AIM BarleyLife® I had mixed
feelings. On the one hand I was excited about trying the new product, but on the
other I had concerns that I may be disappointed. Would I feel anything after
being a regular user of another barley juice product for almost six years?
I take AIM BarleyLife® dry and let it dissolve in my mouth. I immediately loved
the taste, I was excited. It seemed ‘richer’ and less ‘granular’ than what I had
been used to and I experience a subtle ‘good feeling’ about taking it. What was
significant to me though, was the steadiness of my energy levels after I had had
several consecutive very short nights sleep. During each of those mornings I
noticed that my energy levels picked up very quickly and remained steady
throughout the day. Under similar circumstances prior to this, my experience was
nowhere near as good. AIM BarleyLife® is having a very positive impact on my
stamina, energy levels and overall wellbeing. I love taking it each day and feel
it’s a real blessing in my life. I believe that we are going to see a real surge
of very positive feedback from regular users of AIM BarleyLife®.
Sven Tonisson, Brisbane Queensland Australia
AIM has really excelled in bringing us AIM BarleyLife®. In using the latest
technology we have a superior product that has the potential to impact the world
market.
I am impressed with the extra and sustained energy and sense of wellbeing that
AIM BarleyLife® gives me.
Judith MacLean, Perth Western Australia
During the short time that I have been using AIM BarleyLife® I have noticed that
my recovery time is a lot faster. As a person with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS)
any improvement in recovery, or increase in energy levels is like a giant step
worth celebrating!
Since taking AIM BarleyLife® my body has a less acidic feeling. I have more
peace of mind knowing how much extra goodness is going into it with AIM
BarleyLife®.
Giovanna Lambrianos, Melbourne Victoria Australia
In as much as my life has been blessed these last five years by the use of
another green barley juice product. I am much more strengthened by having had
access to AIM BarleyLife® during the trial period.
I thank God for the inspiration and dedication of the people who have worked so
hard and devoted so much time and money to produce this new product.
I am of the age of 75 years a most fortunate man to have continually improving
health.
Lachlan MacLean, Perth Western Australia
It is recommended to read the handbook "Raising The Green Standard"
Start on 2 teaspoons per day (or 1 if you are very sensitive). Split your dose
into half, take half in the morning and the other half in the afternoon or
before bed. Taken first thing in the morning is a favourite time for many people
because it clears that foggy feeling, leaving you clear headed and alert. Taken
before bed, Barley Life promotes a more restful sleep. Or if not convenient, you
can take it at morning or afternoon tea. If you feel the need, you can take it
3-4 times per day.
Young children begin with ¼
tsp per day and gradually
increase to ½ tsp or 2 capsules
per day.
Ideally, always take Barley Life on an empty stomach as it only takes twenty
minutes to digest. Then have your normal meal. The fibre is taken out, which
makes it very easy to digest. Keep Barley Life away from cleansing products like
Herbal Fiberblend.
You can mix Barley Life in water or sugar free juice (this includes no synthetic
sweeteners) or ideally dry under the tongue. As the body's pH balances most
people in time find Barley Green has a sweet taste.
After a few days you can up your dose to 4 teaspoons per day. Because Barley
Life is a whole food, every individual person's needs are different, so the KEY
TO GETTING THE BEST RESULTS is to slowly keep increasing your dose until you
feel the difference. For most people this is at 4 to 6 teaspoons per day or 2 to
3 desert-spoons.
Athletes or the very sick may take up to 9 desert-spoons per
day or 18-26 capsules per day, as their nutritional needs are greater. If you experience cleansing side
effects, stay on a lower dose until the effects pass, then slowly increase your
dose again. Remember to drink plenty of water to help with the cleansing
process.
You will know when you are taking enough, as the benefits are very prominent.
For example, all types of junk food cravings may subside. People find this
wonderful as it makes it so much easier to revise their diet! You may sleep
better and wake up feeling more refreshed with higher and more sustained energy
levels. You may also feel calmer. Over a short period of time, people may also
notice changes to the texture of their hair and skin, and also in the colour and
clarity of their eyes. With all whole foods the very best results are achieved
after at least 3 to 6 months of continuous use.
Because heat and acidity can affect enzymatic activity, it
is recommended that AIM BarleyLife® not be taken in any
of the following: prune juice, carbonated drinks, or hot
drinks.
You may take AIM BarleyLife® with other AIM products.
To receive the greatest absorption of nutrients, take AIM
Herbal Fiberblend® 1 hour before or 30 minutes after taking
AIM BarleyLife®.
Close tightly after opening and store in a cool, dry, dark
place (70-75 °F; 20.1-23.8 °C). Do not refrigerate.
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 a 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 regard 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 fatigue, 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 that 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.
Should I be concerned about taking kelp in my
diet? As long as your healthcare practitioner has not forbidden
you to eat these foods, there is no reason to be concerned
about taking kelp or brown rice in your diet. Those with food
allergies, or those looking for a totally organic product, may
prefer the organic AIM BarleyLife® without brown rice and
kelp.
AIM BarleyLife®new harvest powder
What makes AIM BarleyLife® new harvest so
much smoother than the original? A new, state-of-the-art, shorter spray
dryer delivers smaller particles. The smaller
particles result in increased dispersion, providing
more uniform distribution in liquid. The smaller particle is more soluble in liquid,
producing less grittiness and better
taste. The result is a smoother texture, better
taste, and improved solubility when mixed in water or juice.
Are all the ingredients considered kosher? Our AIM BarleyLife® new harvest powder has a kosher
certification, meaning the product ingredients, producer and
bottler have all been kosher-certified.
Are there more natural sugars in AIM
BarleyLife® new harvest? Each 5g serving still contains only 1 g of natural sugars,
derived mainly from the barley juice.
AIM BarleyLife® Capsules Are capsules completely vegan? Yes, AIM BarleyLife® capsules are completely
vegetarian in 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 acids.
