Barley grass

Barley grass is considered the most nutritional of the green grasses. It contains a wide spectrum of vitamins,minerals, amino acids (including the eight essential ones we must get from our diets) proteins, enzymes, chlorophyll and phytochemicals. Research shows that green barley extract has antioxidant activity that supports the immune system.

AIM BarleyLife

AIM BarleyLife is a powerful whole food concentrate that captures all the natural nutrients found in green barley grass. AIM BarleyLife is produced in the clean, green, pristine lands of Canada where the soil, water and air are richer and purer than many places in the world.

Water-soluble fibre dissolves in water and is found in oat bran, legumes, psyllium, nuts, beans and various fruits and vegetables. It forms a bulky gel with water in the intestine to assist the flow of waste materials through the digestive tract.

Insoluble fibre can’t be dissolved in water. This type of fibre includes the undissolvable parts of plant walls and is found in greatest amounts in cereals, brans and vegetables. The primary function of insoluble fibre is to collect water, which increases stool bulk in the large intestine. This promotes bowel movement, and as the bulk works its way through the intestine, it scours the intestinal walls of waste matter, keeping them clean and healthy.

Benefits of Amino acids and Proteins

Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins, which are the major constituents of every cell and body fluid, and are thus necessary for:

• Cell regeneration
• Continual cell building
• The energy production needed for life

Green barley leaf proteins can be directly absorbed by the blood where they promote cell metabolism (the chemical changes we need to live)

Benefits of Enzymes

Green barley leaves contain a multitude of enzymes. Enzymes are essential for:

• Production of energy at the cellular level
• Facilitation of digestion
• Rebuilding and replenishing of all that the body requires for metabolism to occur
• Absorption of digested nutrients

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. In addition it is believed to help the body use zinc, copper and manganese more effectively. SOD is heat sensitive, and is therefore thought to be the yardstick for measuring overall enzymatic activity. If SOD is present in an active state, it can be concluded that the other enzymes in the food are also present in an active state.

Benefits of Chlorophyll

Chlorophyll has been studied for

• Stimulating tissue growth
• Stimulating red blood cells in connection with oxygen supply
• Its potential as a deodorant

Chlorophyll removes carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide, the by-products of respiration and pollution, and has been found to reduce faecal, urinary, and body odor in geriatric patients

Benefits of Antioxidants

Green barley grass contains unique and powerful plant antioxidants, including lutonarin and saponarin. According to scientists, lutonarin is the superior antioxidant. Whole body health is achieved when all body systems are in balance. No single body system is targeted. The result - 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 needed to develop a strong foundation for good health.
