Organic Barley Juice

Organic barley juice delivers up to three times more nutrients per serving than a typical serving of green vegetables and offers unique and powerful plant antioxidants and enzymes including Super Oxide Dismutase (SOD).

It enhances energy, lowers bad cholesterol, provides anti-inflammatory factors, strengthens the immune system and contains the eight essential amino acids that the body can not make on its own!

Essential Amino Acids

Isoleucine & Leucine - Both provide the elements for the continued manufacture of other essential biochemical components in the body, many of which are utilized by the body for the production of energy, stimulus to the upper brain, and mental acuity.

Lysine - Aids in the production of hormones, enzymes and crucial antibodies, helps collagen formation, and insures the adequate absorption of calcium. Lysine is used in the treatment of Herpes Simplex.

Methionone - Functions as an antioxidant to neutralize toxins. Helps to: lower cholesterol, prevent fat from accumulating in the liver, prevent hair loss and disorders of the skin and nails. Acts as an anti-fatigue aid. 

Phenylalanine - Utilized by the brain to produce a chemical called Norepinephrine - which transmits signals to and from nerve cells and the brain. This keeps one alert and helps to reduce hunger pains.

Threonine - Important constituent of collagen (joints) and elastin (tendons and ligaments). Helps to prevent fatty build-up in the liver; while aiding both the digestive and intestinal tract function. A powerful immune system enhancer.

Tryptophan -  Promotes normal sleep and reduces both anxiety and depression. Supports and enhances the immune system. Reduces the risk of heart and artery spasms, and works in conjunction with Lysine to reduce cholesterol levels. Beneficial in the treatment of migraine headaches.

Valine - Contributes to mental vigor and overall coordination of the muscles. It also has calming effect on the emotions.  

Fatty Acids

Fatty acids provide the building blocks for certain hormones and hormones are the body's crucial  messengers, and Organic barley juice is a potent source of Omega-3 and Omega- 6, otherwise known as "essential fatty acids".

The average Western diet contains only one-sixth of the Omega-3 we need on a daily basis.

A deficiency in Omega-3 can result in arthritis and joint stiffness, irritable bowel syndrome, PMSD, prostate problems, various skin disorders, as well as depression, phobias and schizophrenia. Omega-3 relates to the parts of the brain responsible for learning ability, anxiety and depression, auditory and visual perception, as well as balance in the immune system.

A deficiency in Omega-6 can result in autoimmune problems, breast pain and lumpiness, eczema, hyperactivity in children, hypertension, inflammation and PMS. 

Maltodextrin (Long chain glucose polymers)

This complex carbohydrate provides energy and requires little or no digestion because it acts like a simple carbohydrate in the body. (Glucose is the most simplified form of energy for humans.)

Grape Seed Extract

Made from the pip or seed, Grape Seed Extract (GSE) is rich in bioflavonoids, making it a more powerful antioxidant (free radical scavenger) than either Vitamin C or Vitamin E. Perhaps that is why those at risk for cancer will often supplement with GSE.

GSE is also believed to partially block the release of prostaglandin, which is the substance responsible for causing inflammation and pain in disorders such as endometriosis.

The procyanidolic oligomers or POCs in Grape Seed Extract are known to slow or inhibit degradation of tissue (aging), improve blood circulation while strengthening the blood vessels themselves and improving heart function. GSE has also proven effective in preventing leg cramps, muscular degeneration, extremity numbness, varicose veins, cataracts and diabetic complications.

Ellagic Acid

The American Cancer Society's Guide to Complementary and Alternative Cancer Methods (ISBN-10: 0944235247) has documented that Ellagic Acid is a very promising natural supplement, because it causes apoptosis (cell death) of cancer cells in the lab tests, with no change to normal healthy cells.

Accordingly, the Society states, "Ellagic acid seems to have some anti-cancer properties".

In other lab studies, Ellagic acid seems to reduce the effect of estrogen in promoting growth of breast cancer cells in tissue cultures. There are also reports that it may help the liver to break down or remove some cancer-causing substances from the blood."
