Get Health and Life with Barleylife ® the "green juice".
AIM BarleyLife ™ is bursting with nutrition.
For example, it contains about 3 ½ times the beta carotene of some of the best competing products. 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 some of the best competing green juice products. Lab results also illustrated that BarleyLife has an amazing protein and amino acid profile, 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 the best competing green juice product.
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 - a 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.

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.
