Why Amazing Barley Juice?
  • Fresh barley juice contains one of the broadest spectrums of nutrients of green plants (well over 165 naturally occurring nutrients!). Barley juice contains ‘naturally occurring’ vitamins,minerals, enzymes, protein, chlorophyll, antioxidants and numerous other phytochemicals (the stuff found in plants). In whole-food form all the nutrients work together synergistically yielding results that simply cannot occur in the body from isolated vitamin/mineral supplements. There is absolutely no replacement for naturally occurring whole foods. Scientists have found this when studying phytochemicals. Scientists have learned that phytochemicals increase our resistance to disease and boost immunity. But scientists don’t know why phytochemicals seem to lose their disease-fighting powers when they are isolated from the plant. Bottom line is God didn’t provide us with flavonoid plants, superoxide dismutase plants, vitamin A plants etc. He provided us with plants loaded with all the nutrients needed to satisfy our mouths with good things so that our youth would be renewed like the eagles! Barley juice is God’s provision for better health, more energy, greater endurance! Numerous scientific studies support barley juice health benefits and thousands of anecdotal reports (personal experiences) confirm their findings.
  • Amazng Pure Barley contains 5 times more beta carotene, almost 3 times more calcium, 4 times more chlorophyll, more enzymes, more amino acids (over twice the protein), more antioxidants (SOD, superoxide dismutase, is as much as 400% times greater!). Peroxidase, an enzyme used as a marker of freshness is 11 times greater. Lutonarin, a powerful antioxidant, is 28.9 times greater. These are all sample measurements and since Amazing Barley comes from freshly-cut barley leaves actual amounts can vary. Most folks notice a difference in how they feel within a day to as much as a couple weeks of using Amazing Barley.

  • ORAC, FREE RADICALS & ANTIOXIDANTS WHAT’S the BIG DEAL?
  • Background – For over 20 years, scientists have demonstrated a probable link between various chronic diseases,such as cancer, Alzheimer’s disease, rheumatoid arthritis, cardiovascular disease, cataracts, age-related macular degeneration and the actual aging process itself – to free radical damage. Antioxidants, on the other hand, are chemical compounds that have been shown to prevent, stop, or reduce oxidative damage.
What is an antioxidant?
  • An antioxidant is any substance that reduces oxidative damage (damage due to oxygen) such as that caused by free radicals. There are hundreds of different antioxidant compounds that include various vitamins, minerals, amino acids, enzymes and phytochemical antioxidants. Since scientists don’t know every antioxidant in a plant, a test was developed that indicates the total antioxidant potential.
ORAC, what is that?
  • ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) is a standardized test adopted by the U.S. Department of Agriculture to measure the Total Antioxidant Potency of foods and nutritional supplements.It provides a very precise way of establishing the Free Radical destroying or neutralizing power of a particular food supplement or compound. Whole foods that score high in an antioxidant assay called ORAC are recognized to protect cells and their components from damage by oxygen radicals. The ORAC standard is necessary because thousands of antioxidants exist in foods making it impossible to measure each individual antioxidant. TOTAL ORAC FN provides an excellent method of determining the overall antioxidant potency of foods.
  • Numerous government and private agencies are now recommending 5-9 servings of vegetables and fruit per day. Why? Scientists have learned that phytochemicals, including antioxidants, increase our resistance to disease and boost immunity.But scientists don’t know why phytochemicals seem to lose their disease-fighting powers when they are isolated from the plant (as with antioxidant supplements). Bottom line is God didn’t provide us with betacarotene plants, superoxide dismutase plants, vitamin E plants etc. He provided us with plants containing thousands of nutrients that work synergistically in our bodies providing optimum health. The most effective way of getting these powerful antioxidants into the body is from whole plant food sources.
