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.
The complete Whole Body Nutrition
