General
Can I take AIM BarleyLife® 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®?
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® 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. 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.
AIM BarleyLife® new harvest powder
What makes AIM BarleyLife® new harvest so much smoother than the
original?
A new, state-of-the-art, shorter spray dryer delivers
smaller particles. The smaller particles result in increased dispersion,
providing more uniform distribution in liquid. The smaller particle is
more soluble in liquid, producing less grittiness and better taste. The
result is a smoother texture, better taste, and improved solubility when
mixed in water or juice.
Are there more natural sugars in AIM
BarleyLife® new harvest?
Each 5g serving still contains only 1 g of
natural sugars, derived mainly from the barley juice.
AIM BarleyLife®
Capsules
Are capsules completely vegan?
Yes, AIM BarleyLife® capsules are
completely vegetarian in composition and acceptable in a vegan diet.
How quickly do the capsules dissolve?
AIM’s vegetarian capsules have
been shown to dissolve within 5 to 10 minutes in water. Dissolution may
be more rapid in the stomach’s acids.
AIM BarleyLife® Xtra
Why is Lo Han used in AIM BarleyLife® Xtra?
Lo Han, shortened from
Lo Han Kuo (plant name: Siratia grosvenorii) is a member of the cucumber
and melon family. Used for centuries as a sweetener in China, Lo Han’s
sweetening ingredients, mogrosides, are 300 times sweeter than sucrose
when extracted with water and dried. This allows us to minimize the
amount of natural flavoring added and maximize the nutrients from the
barley juice, fruits, and vegetables while providing a delightfully
sweet fruit taste.
Is there more vitamin C in AIM BarleyLife® Xtra
than in the other varieties of AIM BarleyLife®?
Yes, the percentage of
vitamin C per serving is larger in AIM BarleyLife® Xtra than other AIM
BarleyLife® products. Acerola cherry powder, used in AIM BarleyLife®
Xtra, is one of the richest sources of natural vitamin C available
today. The 15 natural fruit and vegetable powders used as flavoring in
AIM BarleyLife® Xtra bring their nutritional content to the mix,
enhancing the nutritional profile, including increased levels of vitamin
C.
Is the “natural cream flavor” from dairy cream?
The natural cream
flavor is a combination of naturally derived ingredients that mimic the
taste of cream. The ingredients are derived from vegetable sources only
and acceptable for vegans. The “cream” does not contain dairy products.
