Barley
Green FAQ |
 |
Will BarleyGreen stay fresh
after opening? |

Yes. The maltodextrin acts as a protective carrier
to keep the barley grass from oxidizing or spoiling, which preserves
the integrity of these elements until dissolved and released
in liquid. |

|
|
Why is Barley Green so green? |

of all the green vegetables. In fact, Barley Grass has 66 times
more chlorophyll than spinach. |

Will I have an allergic reaction to the
barley in BarleyGreen? |

gluten. |

|
What are antioxidants? What do they do? |
|
Antioxidants are properties in certain nutrients
which have been proven by research to help defend against "free
radicals." Free radicals are unstable molecules which may
cause chemical reactions thought to be responsible for damaging
cells, thus causing them to function improperly. The result
may be diseases such as cancer, arthritis, heart disease, and
many others. Antioxidants neutralize these free radicals and
thus help to preserve our body’s cells. |

|
What does a detoxifier do and how might
this affect me? |
|
A detoxifier "leaches" the toxins or
poisons that have been stored within the body by releasing them
into the fluid stores of the body (blood, urine, perspiration,
etc.). When detoxifying, you should drink plenty of water to
dilute the released toxins for elimination. You may experience
gas bubbles, skin rash, itchiness, and muscle tightness, which
are all signs of poisons exiting the body. After one to two
weeks, the system should be cleansed and the skin and internal
body should look and feel great! |

|
|
Can I make up a large amount of Barley
Green and keep it in the refrigerator? |
|
No, live nutrients are released when Barley Green
is mixed with the proper liquids and should be taken no more
than 20 minutes or so after preparation. When live nutrients
are no longer protected either by fiber or by maltodextrin,
they will begin to oxidize and "die." BarleyGreen
should be taken immediately after preparation in order to receive
the maximum amount of nutritional benefit. |
| |
|
|
Will taking Barley Green after or with
meals hinder its effectiveness? |
|
You can drink Barley Green anytime, but we suggest
you take it alone so that your body can assimilate the full
benefits of its properties quickly and easily without other
foods being present to slow this process. |
| |
|
|
Is the barley organically grown? |
|
Yes, we grow our barley without any chemical
fertilizers or pesticides. We are certified organic and we reuse
all water and vegetable residue as natural mulch for our fields. |
| |
|
|
Will Barley Green upset my stomach? |
|
No, BarleyGreen is mildly alkaline, which pH
balances the acidic stomach juices. This can aid in settling
the stomach. |
