Young Barley Grass - Frequently Asked Questions... .



How is barley juice powder processed?

Barley grass is organically grown without using any chemical pesticides, herbicides or fertilizers. The plants are harvested when the leaves contain the widest spectrum of nutrients, and low temperature processing is used to convert the barley grass into concentrate juice powder.



Is there anyone who should not use barley grass?

Barley grass is a natural whole food concentrate and is safe for consumption for most people. People with severe medical problems or complications should consult a health practitioner before taking it.



Can I take barley grass while taking medication?

As long as your health practitioner has not forbidden you to eat salads or green vegetables, you can consume barley grass.



How to consume barley grass?

It is advisable to consume 1 teaspoon (3g) twice a day 30 minutes before a meal as barley grass works best on an empty stomach. For those who are ill it is advisable to increase the amount to 1 teaspoon 3 times a day and for people with quite severe illness this can be increased the serving size depending on your needs and state of health. Take either cold or room temperature water and consume it immediately or it will lose its nutrients due to oxidization.



Why do we need to use room temperature or cool water?

Because the barley grass has ‘live’ enzymes and other nutrients that will be destroyed by using hot, warm or iced water.



Why should we consume barley grass on an empty stomach?

To enable the nutrients can be assimilated easily without the presence of other foods.


Who is barley grass good for?

Everyone can benefit from the nutrition of barley grass. It is an excellent food for people of all ages from young children to the elderly. Pregnant women who eat barley grass provide their unborn child with excellent nutrition.



If I take barley grass, should I also take other supplements?

There is no need for you to take other supplement because barley grass provides the wide range of essential nutrients and is so finely balanced.



I started taking barley grass and I feel worse. Why?

When you begin taking barley grass, your body often goes through a cleansing known as detoxification. This can manifest itself in fatigue, rashes, headaches, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, insomnia or constipation depending on the state of your health or your diet. It is your body flushing out toxins and will soon pass.

How does the vitamin A content in Pure Barley NZ compare to competing products?


Our most recent analysis indicates that the vitamin A content in Pure Barley NZ is nearly four times higher when tested with the same method.



What happened to the antioxidant 2-O-GIV?


Early research on green barley grass juice indicated that it contains the antioxidant identified as 2"-O-GIV. More recent research indicates that while green barley grass juice (including Pure Barley NZ) does contain 2"-O-GIV, it is present in exceedingly low levels. At the same time, two powerful antioxidants were found to be present in green barley grass juice. They are saponarin and lutonarin. Saponarin is in the "GIV" family. Lutonarin is in the "GIO" family and is the superior antioxidant. We have found both saponarin and lutonarin in BarleyLife 2"-O-GIV is present in small amounts.



HerbCare has stood behind Pure Barley NZ for years with positive results and tens of thousands of satisfied users. How many user reports do you have on Pure Barley NZ?


100 percent of the people who took Pure Barley NZ in a test market rated it above average to excellent. Because the quality of Pure Barley NZ is so much higher than in other green barley juice powders, those who take it are noticing positive benefits much more quickly and are sharing their results with us. As more folks learn about the increased benefits of Pure Barley NZ and use this product the number of user reports will dramatically increase.



Where does the product come from?


Sante’ Members and customers will get the Pure Barley NZ produced in New Zealand thru HerbCare.



When Pure Barley NZ is mixed with water and I drink it (no more than two minutes later), there are precipitates in the bottom of glass. Why?


We have chosen to introduce 5% or less of the plant fiber back into the juice. This aids in our ability to produce a larger granule without adding more maltodextrin. The difference in the total fiber is negligible (3.7% in Pure Barley NZ ) but the reduction in maltodextrin is significant. Also, the use of a whole kelp powder rather than a kelp ash will add to the amount of sediment if the juice is allowed to settle for some time.



Why does Pure Barley NZ contain maltodextrin?


In Pure Barley NZ, maltodextrin plays two very important roles, which are actually related to one another. First, maltodextrin acts as an exceptionally efficient carrier for the natural nutrients found in spray-dried barley juice powder. Second, maltodextrin naturally adheres to the nutrient molecules in the barley juice powder, providing a natural coating and protection against the nutrients reacting with one another and greatly reducing the damaging effects of oxidation. This protection stabilizes the nutrients in a totally natural manner and allows Pure Barley NZ to have a two-year or longer shelf life. Once you mix the powder in a liquid, this protective shield is lifted. In addition, the reduction in maltodextrin in Pure Barley NZ is significant. HerbCare will continue to examine the viability of reducing the amount of maltodextrin even further but it will only be done when it is determined that overall quality is not reduced. This is important as higher quality provides us with greater results.



Can people who are on blood thinners take Pure Barley NZ?


Many people using blood-thinning medication, such as Coumadin ®, are told by their doctors to avoid consuming certain green, leafy vegetables because of the vitamin K content. We are not aware of any adverse effects resulting from the continued use of green barley grass juice powders. If you have a serious medical condition, we suggest that you consult your health practitioner before taking a green barley grass juice supplement.
Warfarin blocks the reduction of vitamin K oxide into vitamin K in efforts to reduce the body's natural clotting response. We did not test for vitamin K in Pure Barley NZ; however, 1 serving of Pure Barley NZ contains about 24 mcg. Therefore, 1 serving of Pure Barley NZ contains less than the recommended daily intake for vitamin K, which is:


Males, 19 years and older: 120 mcg; Females, 19 years and older: 90 mcg


Data suggests that one should avoid fluctuations of 250 mcg above or below normal intakes of vitamin K while your physician determines the proper dosage of warfarin.



Can diabetics take Pure Barley NZ?


Pure Barley NZ is a whole food supplement, very similar to juiced green vegetables. There are no known adverse effects associated with Pure Barley NZ and blood sugar levels. If you consume green vegetables and complex carbohydrates such as pasta (maltodextrin is a complex carbohydrate) with no adverse effects, then you should be able to take Pure Barley NZ. If you have concerns, we encourage you to consult your health practitioner. There have been numerous reports from hypoglycemics and diabetics who have experienced favorable results shortly after starting to take a green barley grass juice supplement.



Can Pure Barley NZ be mixed in a hot beverage?


Because heat and acidity can affect enzymatic activity, it is recommended that Pure Barley NZ not be taken in any of the following: cranberry or prune juice, carbonated drinks, or hot drinks.



What about detoxification?


Many symptoms can be related to detoxification. If so, they will slowly disappear. To speed up the detoxification process, drink plenty of purified water. If some cases it may be wise to reduce the amount of Pure Barley NZ taken while the body gets use to it and toxins are dealt with.



Can folks with kidney disorders or renal failure take Pure Barley NZ?


People with kidney disorders, kidney disease, or renal failure may want to consult their health practitioner about consuming potassium-dense foods like Pure Barley NZ. According to nutritional analysis, there are 214 mg of potassium in one tablespoon (5-gram serving) of Pure Barley NZ. Some people with kidney disease have to be careful about their potassium consumption because their kidneys may not be able to efficiently process high amounts of potassium, which may compound their problem. This implication is rare but should be discussed with your health practitioner if the condition exists.



What about iodine sensitivity?


People who are sensitive to iodine may want to consult their health practitioner before taking Pure Barley NZ. The kelp content in an 8.81 oz (250 g) bottle of Pure Barley NZ is minimal (up to 3 percent), and it is rare that such a small amount of kelp could effect anyone adversely. However, iodine is a fluctuating mineral found in soil, which can influence the level of iodine in the barley grass and the finished powder product.



Can folks with grass allergies take Pure Barley NZ?


On rare occasions, people with grass allergies may experience a reaction to Pure Barley NZ. If you are concerned about having a reaction or if you have had a reaction in the past, you may wish to consult your health practitioner before using Pure Barley NZ.
