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. Should I be concerned about taking kelp in my diet? As long as your healthcare practitioner has not forbidden you to eat these foods, there is no reason to be concerned about taking kelp or brown rice in your diet. Those with food allergies, or those looking for a totally organic product, may prefer the organic AIM BarleyLife® without brown rice and kelp. 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 all the ingredients considered kosher? Our AIM BarleyLife® new harvest powder has a kosher certification, meaning the product ingredients, producer and bottler have all been kosher-certified. 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 Certified Organic Are all the ingredients in the organic product certified organic, or is only the barley grass certified? Every ingredient in AIM BarleyLife Certified Organic has received organic certification. In fact, the fields the barley is grown in, the production facility and the packaging facility are all certified as well, for a truly organic product. Who should take AIM BarleyLife Certified Organic? Anyone who has an extreme sensitivity to kelp should consider taking the organic product. Sometimes health care practitioners request patients eat only certified organic foods. For those people, AIM BarleyLife Certified Organic is a great choice. 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.
