AIM BarleyLife™ is bursting with nutrition. For
example, it contains about 3 ½ times the beta carotene of Barleygreen
.
This amounts to 2 ½ times the beta carotene found in an equivalent
weight of raw carrots and about 25 times that found in an equivalent
weight of raw broccoli. Beta carotene is an important antioxidant known
to protect cells. It is implicated in cardiovascular health and is
believed to have anti-cancer benefits. The calcium content of BarleyLife
is more than 2 times that of Barleygreen. Lab results also illustrated
that BarleyLife has an amazing protein and amino acid profile, more than
double that of Barleygreen, including all the essential amino acids
necessary for adults.
The antioxidant level in BarleyLife is beyond
expectations. Pushing back the frontiers of science, AIM funded experts
in phytochemical research to examine the new product. According to the
scientists, of the two phytochemicals, lutonarin is the superior
antioxidant, and it is found at extremely high levels in BarleyLife.
Indeed, BarleyLife has almost 29 times the level of lutonarin as an
equal weight of Barleygreen. Why? One of the reasons is related to
precise harvesting times. Studies found that the antioxidant level in
barley leaves is greatest in the afternoon when the sun is beating down
on them. It seems God gave them the ability to increase their
antioxidant levels to prevent damage from the sun - natural sun screen!
Evidence continues to mount that antioxidants protect
cells from free radical attack and, thus, are effective agents of
health. This subject alone points to the conclusion that BarleyLife
should be part of everyone’s life.
Note:
The numbers shown below for BarleyLife are very concervative being
significantly lower then actual measurements. These lower numbers are
being shown here and on the BarleyLife Label until additional testing
is completed. More recent Independent Laboratory results are being
shown in parenthesis as they become available.

+ SOD (super oxide dismutase) ranges for BarleyLife and
Barleygreen
Barleygreen: Lowest ever-277 U/g, Highest ever-783 U/g;
Recent readings 277-400 U/g
BarleyLife: Lowest ever-730 U/g, Highest ever-1,660 U/g
You can see from the data above that the lowest SOD measurement
for BarleyLife is comparable to the highest ever reading for
Barleygreen.

Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins,
which are the major constituents of every cell and body fluid (except
urine and bile) and are thus necessary for the continual cell
building, cell regeneration, and energy production that we need for
life. An added benefit of the green barley leaf proteins is that they
are polypeptides; smaller proteins that can be directly absorbed by
the blood, where they promote cell metabolism (the chemical changes
that we need to live) and neutralize substances that are bad for our
health.
