Agronomists place this ancient cereal grass as being cultivated as early as 7000 b.c.e., probably in the dry lands of southwestern Asia. In the West, barley grass was first known for the barley grain it produces; there is written mention of the grain as early as 2800 b.c.e. in Babylon. Before green grasses undergo the reproductive cycle that creates the grains, they are in the grass stage, and the grasses contain about the same vitamins and minerals as dark green vegetables. When grasses are harvested at a young age, they have a different chemical makeup from their adult counterparts. When these grasses are juiced and concentrated, as AIMBarleygreen™ is, they are far superior nutritionally. For example, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Nutrient Database, barley contains 22 International Units (IUs) of vitamin A per 100 g and barley flour contains no vitamin A. AIMBarleygreen™, however, contains 26,800 IU per 100 g. To use another example, barley contains 33 mg of calcium per 100 g and barley flour contains 32 mg of calcium per 100 g. AIMBarleygreen™ contains 311 mg of calcium per 100 g. You can see, then, that grasses, when juiced and concentrated like AIMBarleygreen™, offer us great nutrition. Barley grass is considered the most nutritional of the green grasses. After studying green plants for decades, Yoshihide Hagiwara, M.D., the creator of AIMBarleygreen™, said, "It was clear to me, then, that the leaves of the cereal grasses provide the nearest thing this planet offers to the perfect food. For reasons of palatability, higher nutrient content, and favorable harvesting features, green barley stands out as the best among these." Nutrients in barley grass Amino acids and proteins Barley grass contains eighteen amino acids, including the eight essential ones-that is, the amino acids that we must get from our diet. The body cannot produce them itself. 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. Enzymes, vitamins, and minerals Green barley leaves contain a multitude of the body's spark plugs, enzymes. Enzymes are the catalysts for the body's essential chemical reactions and are responsible for our digestive processes, for providing cellular energy, and for antioxidant effects. Despite their importance, most people do not get the enzymes they need. This is because heat destroys enzymes, and most of our foods, whether cooked at home or processed, are heated and the enzymes destroyed. Dr. Hagiwara believes that there may be thousands of active enzymes in green barley. This belief is based on tests that use the enzyme superoxide dismutase (SOD) as a marker enzyme. If the marker enzyme is found in an active state, it can be safely assumed that other enzymes found in green grasses will also be in an active state. Green barley leaves also contain a wide spectrum of vitamins and minerals. See the following pages for a list of these. Chlorophyll Green barley grass also contains chlorophyll. Chlorophyll has been studied for its potential as a deodorant, in stimulating tissue growth, and in stimulating red blood cells in connection with blood supply. Perhaps most remarkable is the similarity between chlorophyll and the red pigment in blood. Research in the 1940s demonstrated that the two pigments react the same during breakdown. According to an article in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute (Jan. 4, 1995), chlorophyll fed to laboratory animals reduces absorption of three dietary carcinogens: heterocyclic amines (found in cooked muscle meats), 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 still in the digestive tract, limiting their bioavailability. Chlorophyll has also been found to reduce fecal, urinary, and body odor in geriatric patients. Alkalinity and more Green barley grass has a high alkalizing effect, which helps keep the ratio between acidity and alkalinity in our body fluids balanced. Our cells cannot adequately function if the pH (which measures acidity and alkalinity) is not in a narrow range. Most processed foods are acidic, and when we consume too many of them, the acidity-alkalinity balance is upset. Green barley grass contains buffer minerals such as sodium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium. Buffer minerals neutralize acidic materials and can help people maintain a healthy acidity-alkalinity balance. Recently, research has unveiled many other possible benefits of green barley leaves. Extracted compounds may have hypocholesterolemic, anti-inflammatory, and anti-ulcer properties. A new antioxidant, 2"-0-glycosylisovitexin (2"-0-GIV), has been isolated and reported to have antioxidant activity equal to or superior to vitamin E. AIMBarleygreen™: A total food AIMBarleygreen™ captures the nutrients in green barley grass, and the power of AIMBarleygreen™ is found in the combination of nutrients. AIMBarleygreen™ 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. The barley used for AIMBarleygreen™ is organically grown and harvested when the leaves contain the widest spectrum of nutrients. The leaves are then juiced (not milled, as many other barley grass products are) and spray-dried, using a patented, low-temperature processing method. Brown rice and kelp are added, and the result is AIM Barleygreen™. 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." How to use AIMBarleygreen™ Take 1 tbsp (5 g) or 6 caplets (3.5 g) 2 to 3 times per day. You may take more or less depending on your needs. Many people start with « tsp (1 g) or 2 caplets per day and gradually increase their serving every 4 to 5 days. Young children begin with 1/4 tsp or 1 caplet per day and gradually increase to 1 tsp (3 g) or 5 caplets per day. Teens often increase their servings up to 2 tbsp (10 g) or 12 caplets per day. They often take more or less, depending on their needs. Athletes and others dealing with large amounts of stress often take larger amounts, sometimes as many as 6 tbsp (30 g) or 36 caplets each day. Since mixing AIMBarleygreen™ activates the nutrients, drink it immediately after mixing it in purified water or your favorite juice. The nutrients begin to deteriorate within 30 minutes. AIMBarleygreen™ delivers the greatest benefits when taken on an empty stomach, which means 30 minutes before or 2 hours after a meal. However, there will be some benefit no matter when you take AIMBarleygreen™. It is not recommended to take AIMBarleygreen™ in any of the following: cranberry or prune juice, any carbonated drinks, or any hot drinks. You may take AIMBarleygreen™ with other AIM products. Take AIMHerbal Fiberblend™ 1 hour before or 30 minutes after taking AIMBarleygreen™ powder. AIMBarleygreen™ has a shelf life of 3 years, unopened. Close tightly after opening and store in a cool, dry, dark place (70-75 řF; 20.1-23.8 řC). Do not refrigerate. Do not use wet spoons or store them in the jar.

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 analyses indicate that green barley leaf extract contains active SOD. The presence of active SOD in green barley leaf extract may indicate that other common green grass enzymes are found in active conditions. Q & A What is the difference between AIMBarleygreen™ powder and caplets? There is no difference; the caplets are made from the powder. Some people feel that the caplets are more convenient. What are the nutrient levels? The amount of nutrients in AIMBarleygreen™ is roughly the same as the amount of nutrients found in the barley plant and kelp. We do not "pump up" AIMBarleygreen™ with synthetic nutrients. We believe "mega amounts" of nutrients are not relevant to AIMBarleygreen™. AIMBarleygreen™ contains nutrients as they are produced in nature. We believe this is superior to synthetic nutrients. What is the difference between AIMBarleygreen™ with and without kelp? The amount of kelp in AIMBarleygreen™, although small, has a dramatic effect on the product. Kelp is a densely nutritious food, which adds more vitamins and minerals to AIMBarleygreen™. 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. Maltodextrin is used to help stabilize and protect AIMBarleygreen™. When the maltodextrin is sprayed on to AIMBarleygreen™, it forms a protective shield around the fragile nutrients. This shield is "broken" when you add a liquid and drink the product. How is AIMBarleygreen™ processed? The barley used for AIMBarleygreen™ is organically grown and harvested when the leaves contain the widest spectrum of nutrients. The leaves are then juiced (not milled, as many other barley grass products are) and spray-dried, using a patented, low-temperature processing method. Brown rice and kelp are added, and the result is AIMBarleygreen™. Can I take AIMBarleygreen™ while taking medication? As long as your health practitioner has not forbidden you to eat salads or green vegetables, you can use AIMBarleygreen™. Is there anyone who should not use AIMBarleygreen™? AIMBarleygreen™ is a whole food concentrate, so most people should be able to take it. People with severe medical problems or complications should consult a health practitioner when introducing something new to the body. Those on a restricted diet (especially in regard to "green foods") should also consult a health practitioner. I started taking AIMBarleygreen™ 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.
