What are the nutrient levels?  
The amount of nutrients in Barleygreen® is roughly the same as the amount of nutrients found in the barley plant and kelp. We do not "pump up" Barleygreen® with synthetic nutrients. We believe "mega amounts" of nutrients are not relevant to Barleygreen®. Barleygreen® contains nutrients as they are produced in nature. We believe this is superior to synthetic nutrients.

What is the difference between Barleygreen® with and without kelp?  
The amount of kelp in Barleygreen®, although small, has a dramatic effect on the product. Kelp is a densely nutritious food, which adds more vitamins and minerals to Barleygreen®.

What is maltodextrin?  
Maltodextrin is a natural, complex carbohydrate. It is not a simple sugar (dextrose, fructose, sucrose, table sugar, corn syrup, etc.) and does not behave like a simple sugar. It can be derived from potato or corn starch, and its starch component frees glucose across the human intestinal barrier in a time-release fashion over several hours. No steep rise or fall of blood sugar results.

Maltodextrin is used to help stabilize and protect Barleygreen®. When the maltodextrin is sprayed on to Barleygreen®, it forms a protective shield around the fragile nutrients. This shield is "broken" when you add a liquid and drink the product.

How is Barleygreen® grown?   
The barley used for Barleygreen® is grown without using any chemical pesticides, herbicides, or fertilizers. The plants are harvested when the leaves contain the widest spectrum of nutrients, and a patented, low-temperature processing is used to convert the barley grass into Barleygreen®.

Can I take Barleygreen® while taking medication?  
As long as your health practitioner has not forbidden you to eat salads or green vegetables, you can use Barleygreen®.

Is there anyone who should not use Barleygreen®? 
Barleygreen® is a whole food concentrate, so most people should be able to take it. People with severe medical problems or complications should consult a health practitioner when introducing something new to the body. Those on a restricted diet (especially in regards to "green foods") should also consult a health practitioner.

I started taking Barleygreen® and I feel worse.  Why?  
When you make a change in your diet, your body often goes through a cleansing known as detoxification. This can manifest itself in fatigue, rashes, and headaches. It is your body flushing out toxins. For more information, see the Detoxification data sheet.
