AIM BarleyLife?:
High standards of cultivation for toxin-free benefits
When all body systems are
toxin-free, and our cells are receiving all of the vital nutrients they need,
the result is total wellness. We wake up every day feeling great!
Field-fresh barley leaves, organically grown without pesticides or
chemicals, can become a daily essential for those seeking to add toxin-free
nutrients to the diet.
The nutrients in AIM BarleyLife? are organically
bound
Nutritional components are easy to digest when found in their most natural
state?as part of a whole food. Our bodies can easily absorb and quickly make
use of nutrients in their organic form.
As a whole food concentrate, the green barley juice of AIM BarleyLife?
contains essential nutrients, found naturally in the soil, and organically
bonded with key enzymes and proteins of the barley plant as it grows. Once
harvested, the nutrient-rich molecules of the plant are found in a near
perfect state, just as nature intended them. There is nothing synthetic or
genetically modified.
Organic AIM BarleyLife? harvested in Canada
Development of AIM?s Organic BarleyLife? begins in the clean, pristine
farmlands near Alberta, Canada, the perfect environment for organic
cultivation. Complex molecules in the nitrogen-rich soils pass on their
life-giving properties to the plant. AIM?s crops are routinely rotated to put
nitrogen back into the soil. This ensures that essential minerals found in the
soil become bonded in an organic form with a multitude of enzymes, proteins
and amino acids in the plant?s leaves, resulting in higher nutritional
content.
The green barley plants are cut only once, when the nutritional content of
the plant is at its peak. Upon harvesting, the organic barley is transported
within seven minutes to AIM?s nearby, co-owned production facility. There, the
plants are rinsed, juiced, and immediately chilled for cold-concentration into
AIM?s certified organic green barley powder.
The organic formula of AIM BarleyLife? remains free of brown rice and kelp
to meet the special needs of organic consumers. As a final step, AIM
BarleyLife? is packaged and labeled with the organic seal of Quality
Certification Bureau Inc. (Canada), or the USDA.
The result is a totally organic, whole food concentrate that is rich with
vitamins, minerals, essential enzymes, plus important antioxidants that are
essential to good health.
A powerhouse of nutrition for improved cell
functioning
When we consume foods that are without adequate nutritional content, the
body cannot prosper; toxins begin to accumulate in the form of free radicals;
cells become weak, and disease begins to take hold.
AIM BarleyLife? contains a powerhouse of combatants to elevate the body?s
nutritional status. Each serving of AIM BarleyLife? contains an abundant
supply of:
-
proteins for increased energy
-
essential enzymes and amino acids to aid in digestion
-
phytochemicals that may help to ward off disease
-
many important antioxidants?including SOD, vitamins A, C
and E, with lutonarin and saponarin
-
vitamins that are essential for well-being
-
minerals that are considered necessary for optimal health
-
plus, natural chlorophyll, which promotes oxygen supply
to the red blood cells.
Nature?s gift of enzymes and antioxidants
Enzymes are known for their anti-inflammatory properties, and for the
thousands of chemical reactions that occur throughout the body. Cooked and
processed foods are depleted of enzymes. However, in their natural state,
green barley leaves are bursting with enzymes.
Many important enzymes have been identified in AIM BarleyLife?, including
SOD, peroxidase, and catalose. Two flavones, lutonarin and saponarin, are
thought to work in an antioxidant capacity, along with a host of other
antioxidants found in AIM BarleyLife?.
One enzyme in particular, superoxide dismutase (SOD) appears in AIM
BarleyLife? at a very high level. Researchers have long thought that SOD slows
the aging process, and helps to combat many of the free radicals that cause
degenerative diseases.
Recently, in a study on gene therapy for preventing restenosis (recurrent
narrowing of the heart valves), researchers specifically cited SOD as an
enzyme that works inside and outside cells as a powerful antioxidant to
control levels of free radicals, and prevent damage that leads to restenosis.1
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has also recognized SOD. When
seeking applicants for a research grant on The Role of Antioxidants in the
Prevention of Diabetic Complications, the NIH specifically stated that
diabetics appear to have decreased antioxidant capabilities, or reduced
activities of antioxidant enzymes such as superoxide dismutase.2
Important vitamins and minerals
AIM BarleyLife? is literally bursting with beta-carotene (vitamin A in its
natural form). The beta-carotene content found in AIM BarleyLife? is
substantial, representing nearly two times that found in raw carrots and eight
times that found in raw broccoli.
AIM BarleyLife? is also rich in vitamin B complex, including folate (a form
of folic acid), plus vitamin K (100% of the recommended daily amount), and
minerals such as iron, phosphorous, potassium, and magnesium?all considered
essential toward building good health and immune support.
?It?s full of flavonoids which detoxify the cellular tissue,? comments
nutrition educator Dr. Mary Ruth Swope. ?Everything about it helps to
strengthen the organs that purge the bloodstream and excrete toxins.?3
Organic formula, or the tried and true original?the
choice is yours to enjoy!
Those who desire a totally organic supplement, or anyone with kelp or
iodine sensitivities, will enjoy the new organic AIM BarleyLife?, which is
totally free of brown rice and kelp. Even the product stabilizer, maltodextrin,
has been certified as organic!
In some cases, thyroid patients (those with Hashimoto?s disease) prefer to
use the organic formula. (Of course, anyone with a thyroid condition would be
best to consult with their healthcare practitioner before adding nutritional
supplements to the diet. Likewise, anyone with vitamin K sensitivities, and
those with blood-clotting disorders, should consult with their healthcare
practitioner.
The original formula of AIM BarleyLife? remains a good choice for those who
would like to supplement with kelp and brown rice. Like other soluble fibers,
kelp has a soothing and cleansing effect on the digestive system, and
contributes toward nutrient absorption. Brown rice is an excellent means to
add B vitamins to the diet.
High standards remain for the original AIM
BarleyLife?
AIM?s original BarleyLife? is virtually organic, and is cultivated in
fields that are pesticide-, herbicide-, and fungicide-free. Quality testing is
done at every step of harvesting and manufacturing?with samples tested every
60 minutes! Further, AIM verifies the results with external laboratories to
make sure that strict quality control is achieved with each and every crop.
Whether considering the certified organic, or the tried and true original,
AIM BarleyLife? offers unsurpassed quality and nutrition with every serving.
