AIM BARLEYGREEN ®

AIM Barleygreen®: A Total Food

AIM Barleygreen® captures the nutrients in green barley grass and its power is found in the combination of these nutrients. Barleygreen is a whole food concentrate; that is, it is as close to its natural state as possible and, thus, supplies the nutrients in a natural proportion. As Dr. Hagiwara has said, “Barleygreen should not be recognized by discussing the amount of its vitamins and minerals. The era of focusing on a single vitamin or mineral is gone … much more attention is being focused on biological phenomenon.” When you use AIM Barleygreen®, you increase the benefits of your diet.

* Some United States Chemical associations recognize only 13 vitamins. However, the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (from the International Union of Biochemistry) has identified 19 vitamins, and the Japanese Vitamin Academic Society has identified 17 vitamins.

** Vitamin P and Vitamin F are considered citrus bioflavonoids and essential unsaturated fatty acids, respectively. Vitamin B12 is generally believed to come only from animal sources; however, independent analyses from Irvine Analytical Laboratories, as well as from the Resource Research Association, Office of Science and Technology, and Japan food Analysis Center, indicate that green barley leaves contain B12.

*** There is not a standard method to analyze enzyme activities. Superoxide dismutase (SOD) has been used to measure enzyme activities. Lab analyzes indicate that green barley extract contains active SOD. The presence of active SOD in green barley extract may indicate that other common green grass enzymes are found in active conditions.

How to use AIM Barleygreen®

Take 1 tsp (3 g) of powder, or 5 caplets, 2 times a day. Mix with water or juice. Many people begin with ½ tsp. (1.5 g) or 2 caplets each day and increase gradually every 4 to 5 days.
Young children begin with ¼ tsp or 1 caplet each day and gradually increase to 1 tsp (3 g) or 5 caplets each day. Crush the caplets if necessary.
Teens often increase their servings up to 2 tsp (6 g) or 10 caplets each day.
Athletes and others dealing with large amounts of stress often take larger amounts; sometimes as many as 6 tsp. (54 g) or 90 caplets each day. When taking larger amounts, it is best to take AIM Barleygreen® 3 or more times each day.
AIM Barleygreen® delivers the maximum benefits when taken on an empty stomach, which means 30 minutes before or two hours after a meal. However, there will still be some benefit no matter when you take Barleygreen. (Some people enjoy putting Barleygreen in vegetable dips, or on top of applesauce, etc.)
The best results will come from placing Barleygreen dry under the tongue. Much of it will then be absorbed through he mucous membrane directly into the bloodstream. However, most people enjoy their Barleygreen in purified water or their favorite juice.
Drink Barleygreen immediately after mixing it in a liquid, since mixing it activates the nutrients. They begin to deteriorate within 30 minutes.
It is not recommended to take Barleygreen in any of the following: cranberry or prune juice, any carbonated drinks, or any hot drinks. You may take Barleygreen with other AIM Products. Take Herbal Fiberblend 1 hour before or 30 minutes after taking Barleygreen Powder.
You may use more or less depending on your or a health practitioner’s assessment of your nutritional needs.
Shelf life is 3 years, unopened. Store in a dark, dry place. Do not refrigerate.
It is important not to use or store wet spoons in the jar.
When in extreme temperatures (either hot or cold), it is bet to store AIM Barleygreen® in an ice chest or some other protective place. (The powder is much more stable than the juice; however, being in a closed car in Texas or an open garage in Alberta for extended periods of time during certain seasons could result in product damage.

Questions & Answers

What is the difference between Barleygreen powder and caplets?
There is no difference; the caplets are made from the powder. some people feel that the caplets are more convenient, or prefer not to "taste" the juice.

What are the nutrient levels?
The amount of nutrients in Barleygreen is roughly the same as the amount of nutrients found in the barley plant and kelp. We do not "pump" Barleygreen with synthetic nutrients. We believe "mega amounts" of nutrients are not revelant to Barleygreen. AIM Barleygreen® contains nutrients as they are produced in nature. We believe this is superior to synthetic nutrients.

What is the difference between AIM Barleygreen® with and without kelp?
The amount of kelp in AIM Barleygreen®, although small, has a dramatic effect on the product. Kelp is a densely nutritious food, which adds more vitamins and minerals to AIM Barleygreen®.

What is maltodextrin?
Maltodextrin is a natural, complex carbohydrate. It is not a simple sugar (dextrose, fructose, sucrose, table sugar, corn syrup, etc.) and does not behave like a simple sugar. It can be derived from potato or corn starch, and its starch component frees glucose across the human intestinal barrier in a time-release fashion over several hours. No steep rise or fall of blood sugar results.

Maltodexrin is used to help stabilize and protect Barleygreen. When the maltodextrin is sprayed onto Barleygreen, it forms a protective shield around the fragile nutrients. This shield is "broken" when you add a liquid and drink the product.

How is AIM Barleygreen processed?
The barley used for Barleygreen is grown without using any chemical pesticides, herbicides, or fertilizers. The plants are harvested when the leaves contain the widest spectrum of nutrients, and a patented, low-temperature processing is used to convert the barley grass into AIM Barleygreen®.

Can I take Barleygreen while taking medication?
As long as your health practitioner has not forbidden you to eat salads or green vegetables, you can use AIM Barleygreen®.

I started taking AIM Barleygreen and I feel worse. Why?
When you make a change in your diet, your body often goes through a cleaning known as detoxification. This can manifest itself in fatigue, rashes, and headaches. It is your body flushing out toxins.
