BENEFITS OF BARLEY GRASS
Barley
grass is one of the green grasses. The true beauty of barley is found in
the leaves; the young green shoots of power that form before the grain.
The young leaves have a tremendous ability to absorb nutrients from the
soil. When barley leaves are 12-14 inches high, they contain all the
vitamins, minerals, and proteins necessary for the human diet, plus
chlorophyll. These necessities are easily assimilated throughout the
digestive tract, giving our bodies instant access to vital nutrients.
Amino Acids and Proteins
Amino acids are the
building blocks of proteins; 20 of them are present in the body proteins
in significant quality. Proteins are the major constituent of every cell
and body fluid (except urine and bile) and are thus necessary for
continual cell building, 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.
Eighteen amino acids are found in barley grass, including the eight
essential ones - that is, the amino acids that we must get from out diets;
the body cannot produce them itself.
Enzymes,
Vitamins and Minerals
Green barley
leaves contain a multitude of the body's spark plugs, enzymes. Enzymes
supply the spark that starts the essential chemical reactions our bodies
need to live. Without this spark, and these chemical reactions, we would
be helpless: a bag of bones, unable to walk, talk, blink, or breathe .
Astounding amounts
of vitamins and minerals are found in green barley leaves. These include
potassium, calcium, magnesium, iron, copper, phosphorus, manganese, zinc,
beta carotene, B1, B2, B6, C, folic acid, and pantothenic acid. Indeed,
green barley juice contains 11 times the calcium in cows' milk, nearly 5
times the iron in spinach, 7 times the vitamin C in oranges, and 80 mg of
vitamin B12 per hundred grams. Green barley leaves also contain
significant amounts of chlorophyll.
Alkalinity and More
Green barley leaves are extremely alkaline,
so digesting them can help keep the body's alkaline and acidity ratio
balanced. Our cells cannot adequately function if the pH range (which
measures acidity and alkaline) is not in a narrow range. Most processed
foods are acidic, and when we consume too many of them the
acidity/alkaline balance is upset. This may result in possible fatigue.
Recently research has
unveiled a wealth of other possible benefits of green barley leaves.
Extracted compounds have found to have hypercholesteromic,
anti-inflammatory, and anti-ulcer properties. A new antioxidant, 2"-0-GIV,
has been isolated and reported to have antioxidant activity equal to or
superior to vitamin E. Finally, studies have shown that when green barley
juice is added to injured cells, the cells' DNA repairs itself rapidly.
This may contribute to preventing the changes that often lead to cancer,
rapid aging, and cell death. Barleygreen captures these nutrients to bring
you the wholesome goodness of the green barley leaves.
Barleygreen: A Total Food
I t
is tempting to look at these facts as individual pieces. "Yes, well
Barleygreen contains beta carotene," you might say, or "Barleygreen
contains more than spinach." This is true, of course, but the real power
of Barleygreen is found in the combination of all these nutrients.
Barleygreen 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. This is what attracted Dr. Yoshihide Hagiwara, the creator of
Barleygreen, to barley; a vision of totality, not individual pieces: "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."
Before deciding on using the barley plant,
Dr. Hagiwara looked at all green plants in Japan, and then narrowed his
search down to 150 leafy green varieties. He found many plants with
satisfactory nutrition, but none that covered as wide a spectrum of
nutrients as green barley. A Herculean task? Yes, but in a way this was
the easy part.
Getting the nutrients from the plant to people was
another matter. Dr. Hagiwara struggled at first, "I was told by people who
used my product that it was not effective." He accepted this challenge and
kept working, eventually discovering that, "I was subjecting the barley to
too much heat...killing the active ingredients." To avoid this, Dr.
Hagiwara created a patented drying process, guaranteeing that
all active nutrients remained active.
Dr. Hagiwara's quest to make the best possible product
has resulted in a manufacturing process that uses the most expensive and
sophisticated processing plant in the green juice industry. However, this
is not enough. The search to make Barleygreen even better continues which
is why 10 percent of the wholesale price is dedicated to green barley
research.
Today, barley for Barleygreen is grown in Oxnard,
California. Before choosing this site, extensive research was performed:
Dr. Hagiwara says, "We tested soil from ten different states and grew
samples of several types of barley grass to compare nutrient levels before
selecting the one that would give us superior results. We gave careful
consideration to climate, environmental conditions, and water supplies....
The barley grass that we are growing in Oxnard consistently shows higher
nutrient levels than that grown in Japan."
The result of this over 20 years of research: the ideal location to cultivate barley;
the green barley leaves rich in nutrients; and the sophisticated
manufacturing process is Barleygreen, the best green juice product there
is.
