BARLEY GRASS JUICE EXTRACT 24:1
|
The cereal grasses, which includes barley grass, have been valued as a primary source of food from ancient
times. They are a powerhouse of hundreds of nutrients, from vitamins, minerals, enzymes, amino acids,
antioxidants, DNA and RNA, to untold numbers of phytonutrients, the most important of which is chlorophyll.
Barley grass is strongly recommended for its healing and nutritive powers, beginning with the remarkable
abilities of chlorophyll. Chlorophyll, as important to plants as hemoglobin is to our blood, is actually very similar
to the hemin molecule of hemoglobin. Chlorophyll has the amazing ability to increase blood production, as it is
readily changed into the hemin molecule of hemoglobin. Chlorophyll therefore has the ability to improve the
anemic condition, and is also detoxifying and purifying of the blood and liver. It binds with toxins in the digestive
tract, preventing them from absorption into body tissues, and so is also cleansing and deodorizing of the bowel.
It helps to heal wounds, soothe ulcerated tissue, and is an antibacterial agent. A truly amazing tonic for the
body!
Barley grass is well-known for its body-building and tissue-healing abilities. It contains a broad spectrum of
concentrated vitamins, especially beta-carotene, C, E, the B-complex, and minerals, with high levels of
potassium, calcium, magnesium, iron, phosphorus, and zinc. It is also rich in enzymes, including many unique
digestive enzymes that are able to detoxify indigestible and toxin-contaminated foods. Another enzyme is
superoxide dismutase (SOD) which protects cells from the free radicals produced by pollution in our air, food
and water, and by radiation. It also contains large amounts of mucopolysaccharides, which have the ability to
strengthen body tissues, lower blood fat, and reduce inflammation. Protein in barley grass, considered
excellant among all plant sources, is as high as 45% in the juice powder. Barley grass shows DNA-repairing
properties, strong anti-inflammatory action, and is immune-enhancing.
Barley grass is very soothing and nutritive to our internal organs, and, again, because of its high chlorophyll
content, has a cleansing effect throughout the gastrointestinal tract. So much of our processed foods create an
imbalance of acidity in the body; barley grass juice extract, because of its high alkalinity, helps to restore the
body’s acid-alkaline balance.
