Barley Life Xtra with 16 Fruits and Vegetables (NZ)

AIM BarleyLife® Xtra is a fruity-tasting green drink made from Canadian-grown barley grass juice, plus 15 fruits and vegetables. It provides a broad spectrum of naturally occurring nutrients, including 30 mg of vitamin C and 5 g of AIM BarleyLife® in a single 6 g serving. Vitamin C is a critical nutrient during childhood since it promotes the healing of cuts, scrapes and wounds, and helps keep bones, teeth and gums healthy.
The green goodness and the fruits and vegetables in AIM BarleyLife® Xtra provide energy, support healthy immunity– plus everything else food-sourced nutrients are known to do for us. Its protein and natural electrolyte content make AIM BarleyLife® Xtra the ideal sports drink for active children and adults as it assists with muscle repair after exercise. Five key electrolytes are sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus. AIM BarleyLife® Xtra delivers each of these important nutrients in the balance nature intended for more rapid and efficient use by our bodies.
Fresh and naturally sweet: The delicious cherry-apple fl avour tastes fresh and naturally sweet, with no added sugar or artificial sweeteners. The 1.5 grams of sugar in one serving of AIM BarleyLife® Xtra come from the naturally occurring sugars found in barley grass juice,
and the other fruits and vegetables in the formula. These sugars include glucose, fructose and maltose.
Tasty and nutritious: From age 7 to 10, a child’s energy needs increase, and both boys and girls experience a signifi cant growth spurt. They require more nutrients than at practically any
other time during their lives, to encourage bone growth and build healthy body tissue. Some parents worry that their children are not eating as much as they should, or that picky eating habits leave out important nutrients. AIM BarleyLife® Xtra is an appealing and tasty way to bring good nutrition to your children while also avoiding mealtime squabbles about what is
healthy and acceptable to eat.

Juice powder of young barley plants – A concentrated juice powder from green barley grass grown in pristine northern Alberta. This powerful alkalizer contains abundant antioxidants and enzymes, as well as highly bioavailable vitamins, minerals, protein and amino acids, chlorophyll, and phytochemicals. For full details, see the AIM BarleyLife®
Research in the late 20th century revealed that young barley grass is the most nutritious of the green grasses. While barley has been used as a grain since ancient times, the value of barley as a grass was overlooked. Japanese researchers discovered that the young, green barley grass was an incredibly complete source of nutrition containing a wide spectrum of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, proteins, enzymes, chlorophyll and phytochemicals. They also discovered that young barley is at its nutritional best before the beginning of the reproductive cycle, when the plant channels nutrition to the seed heads. In fact, when harvested at this early stage, young barley leaves have a different chemical makeup from their adult counterparts.
Maltodextrin – protects the enzymes and other molecules from each other so they do not react and become denatured (lose their healthful qualities). AIM uses corn-sourced maltodextrin that tests negative for GMO markers and does not cause a steep rise or fall of blood sugar.
Lo Han Guo extract – this member of the melon family has been safely used for centuries as a natural sweetener; its very low glycemic index does not cause blood sugar problems. Lo Han contains mogrosides, compounds that are 300 times sweeter than sucrose.
Natural cream, apple and cherry flavours– the natural fl avours in AIM BarleyLife® Xtra are dairy-free, vegan-friendly combinations of naturally derived ingredients that are plant-based in origin.
Malic acid – an alpha-hydroxy or fruit acid, usually derived from apples. Malic acid participates in cellular energy production, inhibits growth of disease-causing bacteria in the digestive tract, and may be benefi cial for fi bromyalgia pain.
Guar gum – a fi brous polysaccharide derived from a legume and used as a natural thickening agent. Fructooligosaccharides (derived from chicory) – FOS is a slightly sweet-tasting (yet non-caloric) carbohydrate that acts as food for the healthy bacteria in the intestinal tract.

Broccoli – A cruciferous vegetable in the cabbage family (popular for its anti-cancer properties), broccoli contains more vitamin C than citrus, and is very rich in beta-carotene,
calcium, potassium, and chlorophyll.
Tomato – This fruit contains antioxidant carotenoids, which help protect our cells from oxygen damage. Although acidic, raw tomatoes have an alkalizing effect on the body.
Carrot – One of the best sources of beta-carotene, carrots are a popular food for healthy eyesight. They help with elimination and indigestion. They may also strengthen bones
and connective tissues due to their mineral content.
Kale – Kale is an ancient member of the cabbage family, offering the anti-cancer benefi ts of all cruciferous vegetables. With the goodness of leafy greens, kale is an exceptional source
of chlorophyll, calcium, and beta-carotene.
Brown rice – Brown rice is an excellent way of adding Bcomplex vitamins to your diet. The B vitamins are essential for mood, memory, and proper functioning of the nervous system.
Kelp – A mineral-rich sea vegetable, kelp is a natural source of iodine, which promotes healthy thyroid function for optimal energy and metabolism.

Apple juice solids – Apples have long been used to help ease indigestion and normalize bowel function and elimination. Apples contain pectin, which stimulates peristaltic activity and helps get rid of toxins.
Acerola cherry – This tropical fruit is one of the best natural sources of vitamin C – very different from taking straight ascorbic acid. This extract is standardized to 17% vitamin C in its natural form.
Cherry – A traditional remedy for gout and arthritis, cherries help eliminate excess body acids. Cherries are a whole food source of beta-carotene, potassium, calcium and other minerals.
Raspberry – This tart-sweet summer berry is thought to help enrich the blood. Raspberries are rich in calcium, potassium, beta-carotene, vitamin C, and other minerals and vitamins.
Grape – Purple concord grapes are added for their antioxidant properties from polyphenols, resveratrol, and proanthocyanidin.
Cranberry – Cranberries, rich in proanthocyanidins, flavonoids, and other antioxidants, help treat and prevent urinary tract infections. Their antibacterial activity may be beneficial for peptic ulcers and to prevent gum disease and dental cavities.
Strawberry – This luscious berry offers calcium and vitamin C, plus all of its other naturally occurring nutrients. Strawberries are mildly diuretic and may help improve appetite – often important for children and the elderly.
Pineapple – Pineapples are a natural source of an antiinflammatory enzyme, bromelain, which helps the digestion of proteins. This tropical fruit also acts as a mild diuretic, and may be helpful for edema and diarrhea.
Lemon – Lemons are powerful antiseptic cleansers and can destroy bacteria in the mouth and intestines. High in vitamin C, lemons are an abundant source of citric acid, a natural preservative and pH adjuster that is involved in energy production at the cellular level.
Lime – Similar to lemons (with just a tad less citric acid), limes were the original scurvy-preventing fruit due to their vitamin C content.
Orange – Oranges contain vitamin C in its natural form, surrounded by biofl avonoids (excellent for the health of the gums). Perhaps surprisingly, oranges are also rich in calcium
and potassium.

Can I take AIM BarleyLife Xtra® while taking medication?
As long as your health practitioner has not forbidden you to eat salads or green vegetables, you can use AIM BarleyLife®.

Is there anyone who should not use AIM BarleyLife Xtra®?
AIM BarleyLife® is a whole food concentrate, so most people should be able to take it. Those with severe medical problems or complications should consult a health practitioner before introducing something new to their bodies. Those on a restricted diet (especially in regard to “green foods”) should also consult a health practitioner.

I started taking AIM BarleyLife Xtra® 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 yourbody flushing out toxins. For more information, see AIM’s Detoxification data sheet.

What is maltodextrin?
Maltodextrin is a soluble (dissolvable) complex carbohydrate that acts as a buffer to keep enzymes and other molecules apart so that they do not react and denature (lose their healthful properties). It is not a simple sugar (dextrose, fructose, sucrose, table sugar, corn syrup, etc.) and does not behave like a simple sugar. AIM’s maltodextrin is derived from cornstarch.

In my opinion, AIM BarleyLife Xtra® is Mother Nature at her best! I can see AIM BarleyLife Xtra® bringing incredible improvements in health to many peoples lives -how wonderful!

The AIM BarleyLife Xtra® is fantastic. I'm not new to the use of barley green products. Fifteen years ago, I began using it, but stopped for some unknown reason. Last month, I noticed I had lost the ability to feel rested after sleeping. I just couldn't wake up! I felt like I was soon to be dealing with chronic fatigue. I remembered how healthy I felt while using my previous barley green product. I went to the local health food store and bought a container of BarleyLife Xtra. After ONE day's use, I was a new person. I HAVE to have it!

Recently became a widow. My body started doing what it wanted to do on its on, not what I was telling it to do. My body wanted to fly apart. I was sure to take my AIM BarleyLife Xtra® everyday along with Vitamin C and B. Will add others soon. But, being fortified with AIM BarleyLife Xtra® did the job for me. Thanks so much.
