Juice Powders Vs Leaf Powders

Most grass powders available in the marketplace are leaf powders.  The difference between leaf powders & juice powders is vast - like comparing cooked white rice with raw brown rice sprouts!

Leaf Powder Production

1. The leaves are harvested

2.  The leaves are dried - freezedried is best

3.  The dried leaves are ground to a powder in a steel mill - the friction involves 'cooks' the powder.

Results of Leaf Powder Production

The manufacturer faces a dilemma - if the grass is ground finely to make it more digestible because cellulose is mostly indigestible, this increase the friction & following on from that the heat & there will be more nutrient destruction. Conversely, if the grass is not ground as finely there will be less friction therefore less heat & less nutrient destruction but the powder will be less digestible.

Juice Powder Production

1. The leaves are harvested

2. The leaves are juiced at low temperature - this strips away the indigestible cellulose & concentrates the nutrients 3 times.
 
3. The juice is freezedried.

3. The freezedried juice is rolled at low temperature to make it into powder.

 

Results of Juice Powder Production

The juice powder is up to 3 times more concentrated & also 3 times more bioavailable making it 9 times stronger!

Features That Make BarleyMax® Unique:

• Organically Grown
  BarleyMax® is certified organic, grown on 900 acres of mineral-rich volcanic lakebed soil at an elevation of 5,000 feet without the use of any pesticides or chemical fertilizers. This promotes slower growth and incredible nutritional content.
  
• The grass juice from this land has by far the highest solids content (BRIX) of any similar products, indicating the mineral-richness of the soil.
  
• These crops are fertilized naturally with alfalfa chop and barley pulp (left over from juicing), and other organically-approved soil amendments and irrigated with deep source groundwater for maximum nutrient uptake.
  
• We also practice crop rotation, allowing the soil to lie fallow every couple of years to rest and recharge.
  
• Highly Concentrated
  BarleyMax® is a 100% natural dried juice powder, with over 99% of the fibre removed.  The bright green colour of BarleyMax® is the natural chlorophyll with no artificial colours or flavourings added.
  
• Healthy bacteria: Some true juice products are sanitized in a way that kills beneficial bacteria. Our cleaning process retains naturally occurring bacteria your body needs.
  
• BarleyMax® is made from young barley leaves and alfalfa leaves harvested at their peak nutrient levels (10-14 inches high), and juiced in the field. Many other brands are grown to 1m high.
  
• BarleyMax® contains 80% organically grown barley juice concentrate and 20% enzyme-rich and nutrient-dense alfalfa concentrate. Alfalfa plants have roots that reach deep into the earth, drawing out precious trace minerals that are not found in other grasses.
  
• What's so special about barley & alfalfa?
  The nutritional excellence of barley grass has been revered since ancient times. Alfalfa is one of the most mineral-rich foods in the world, thanks to roots that grow up to 130 feet into the ground. The result is a fresh tasting, 100% organic and filler-free juice powder that gives you one of the widest spectrums of naturally occurring nutrients available in a single source
  
• New Drying Process
  Through a new drying process, we're able to produce a finer, yet more compact powder—while still keeping the high nutritional content you need, with even higher levels of protein, Vitamins A and E, Folate, Zinc, Manganese and Potassium! The result is a denser powder, so you can use less per serving—only 1 level teaspoon—to get the full nutritional value!
  
• Juice powder vs. freeze-dried grass
  The plants used to make BarleyMax® are juiced before they're dehydrated. Other juice powders just spray or freeze dry whole plants, leaving the fibre and killing the enzymes
  
  BarleyMax® is gently dehydrated below 106°F using a patented drying process  to preserve the delicate life essences (enzymes) contained within the living plant and lock in nutritional potency and retain the highest enzyme activity of any juice powder you can buy.
  

• No Maltodextrin
  Unlike some other barley grass products, BarleyMax® contains no Maltodextrin, which is a plus for people who are sensitive to this preservative or who suffer from conditions that affect blood sugar. Our extensive studies show the superior enzymatic activity in BarleyMax does not diminish for lack of Maltodextrin.
  

• Superior nutrition
  BarleyMax provides a superior blend of all known vitamins including A, E, and folate, protein, BarleyMax contains 23 minerals,minerals including, zinc, manganese, calcium, magnesium, iron, phosphorus and potassium, 18 amino acids, chlorophyll, flavonoids, many trace elements, antioxidants, plus a high level of usuable enzymatic activity that is necessary for building new, strong, healthy and vital cells in your body.
  

• Naturally occurring vitamins
  BarleyMax doesn't rely on lab-created chemicals for it's nutritional values. Natural vitamins are always found in food as living complexes making them easier for your cells to absorb.
  
• Rich amounts of macro and trace minerals
  In balanced proportions, these give more cofactors for higher enzyme activity. Our research also indicates higher vitamin content in BarleyMax® than similar products.
  
• An excellent source of antioxidants
  Antioxidants help the body defend itself from free radicals, which play a large role in disease and aging. In a measure of total antioxidant capacity, BarleyMax® is the leading barley juice of all the products we have tested.
   
• Highly Alkaline pH
  BarleyMax® has one of the most alkaline pH factors available in a food and contains large amounts of natural chlorophyll (the blood of the plant).
  
• Gluten-free
  Even people with a sensitivity to the gluten in wheat and other grains can drink BarleyMax®.
  
• Green chlorophyll
  Chlorophyll has been shown to accelerate the healing of wounds with no toxic side effects, protect against chemicals and radiation, and to promote intestinal regularity.
  
• Low Calories - High Nutrition
  One heaping teaspoon (2g) of BarleyMax® contains only 6 calories, yet it contains the nutrition of a large handful of barley grass and alfalfa.
  
• Detoxification
  Because of its richness in nutrients, drinking BarleyMax® and freshly extracted vegetable juices will aid the body in detoxification and in the activation of its self-healing.
  
• BarleyMax® is grown and processed in the United States of America

Directions For Using BarleyMax®:

1. The average serving of BarleyMax® is two heaping teaspoons (4g) each day.  However, many people use more or less depending on their own assessment of nutritional needs. Many begin with ½ teaspoon each day and increase gradually every four or five days. Young children usually begin with ¼ teaspoon each day and gradually increase up to 1 teaspoon daily. Teenagers often increase up to 2 tablespoons each day. Athletes and people dealing with large amounts of stress or health challenges often take larger amounts: sometimes as many as 6 tablespoons (24g) daily. When taking larger amounts, it is better to take BarleyMax® 3 times each day instead of all at once.

2.  The best results will come from placing BarleyMax® dry under the tongue. Much of it will then be absorbed through the mucous membrane directly into the bloodstream.

However, most people enjoy their BarleyMax® in purified water or their favourite juice.

Many folks find a heaping teaspoon of BarleyMax® mixed with four to six ounces of apple or carrot juice a tasty combination.

It is NOT recommended to take BarleyMax® in any of the following: cranberry or prune juice, any carbonated drinks, or any hot drinks.

BarleyMax® delivers the maximum benefits when taken on an empty stomach, which means 30 minutes before or two hours after a meal. However, there will still be some benefit no matter when you take BarleyMax®. Some people enjoy putting BarleyMax® in vegetable dips, or on top of applesauce, etc.

It is important to drink BarleyMax® immediately after mixing in a liquid since this activates the nutrients and they will begin to deteriorate within 30 minutes.

BarleyMax® will keep some people awake if taken too late in the day. For others, it is the perfect nightcap for a restful sleep. Do some experimenting to see exactly how it works for you.

3.  BarleyMax® has a 3 to 5 year shelf life under normal conditions. It should be stored in a dark, dry place at normal room temperature.

Questions People Ask about BarleyMax®:

Can I take my BarleyMax® while on a medication?
As long as your doctor has not forbidden you to eat salads or green vegetables, you can use BarleyMax®.  It will not interfere with your medication.  For those who have digestive problems which normally make salads bothersome because of the roughage, BarleyMax® is the ideal substitute since the fibre has been removed.

Can I stop taking vitamins and minerals when I take BarleyMax®?
Although BarleyMax® provides a very wide spectrum of naturally occurring nutrients, some people will want to continue to take supplements according to their own personal preference or needs.  Because BarleyMax® is a natural whole food its nutritional value is not measured by governmental "recommended daily allowances" which are used to measure synthetic supplements.

Can BarleyMax® hurt me?
No! Barley juice powder has been used by over 2 million people in Japan for over 20 years and has been used in the United States and Canada since 1982.  It is not toxic and is 100% organically grown.  However, it is important to use common sense when starting on BarleyMax® and begin with small amounts, increasing gradually.  Because it is a whole food concentrate, the body will need some time to adjust to its nutritional contributions.

Is there anyone who should not use BarleyMax®?
If your doctor has forbidden you to eat salads or green vegetables, you should consult on your use of BarleyMax. Remember, BarleyMax does not contain the fiber or grain components which can irritate certain conditions.

How is BarleyMax® different from Green Magma or other green powders sold in health food stores?
BarleyMax is significantly different from the other green powders being sold today.  It is one of the few true "juice" powders and it is processed by a low-temperature method that is state-of- the-art.  BarleyMax’s concentrated purity (no fibre or fillers) and unique blend of barley and alfalfa make it the best bargain by far.
