Digestive issues comprise the number one health prob-lem in North America. And our bodies are becoming

increasingly polluted with toxins found in the environment and in the foods we eat.

Getting adequate fiber and cleansing, (aka detoxifying) are two often overlooked elements of maintaining not only diges-tive health but also whole body health.

AIM Herbal Fiberblend provides the fiber that is often lack-ing in our diets and it contains cleansing herbs. This unique combination provides the perfect way to maintain your diges-tive health, keep your digestive system clean, and experience other benefits that are indicative of whole body health.

FiberFiber has long been recognized as one of the best food

ingredients for maintaining bowel regularity and preventing constipation. Because it normalizes bowel movements, it can also be used to treat and manage chronic diarrhea. Consum-ing fiber reduces transit time and results in a more thorough evacuation of waste materials. It is thought to improve all aspects of colon function.

Fiber is found only in fruits and plants. It is an indigest-ible complex carbohydrate and, therefore, adds few, if any, calories to the diet. There are two main types of fiber—water-soluble and insoluble. Both types of fiber are required in the daily diet, in the recommended ratio of 3:1 insoluble fiber to water-soluble fiber.

Water-soluble fiberWater-soluble fiber dissolves in water and is found in oat

bran, legumes, psyllium, nuts, beans, pectins, and various fruits and vegetables. It forms a bulky gel in the intestine that regulates the flow of waste materials through the digestive tract.

Water-soluble fiber may lower cholesterol by preventing the reabsorption of bile acids. Bile acids are made from cho-lesterol, and after they aid fat digestion, fiber binds with them and escorts them out of the body. The liver then has to pull more cholesterol from the blood.

Water-soluble fiber may also stabilize blood sugar by slowing down the absorption of carbohydrates into the blood. Plus, it can lower blood sugar levels. Researchers have found that increasing fiber intake results in a decrease in the body’s

Page 2: Herbal AIM FiberblendFiberblend contains 5 grams of fiber. Herbal Fiberblend con-tains both insoluble and soluble fiber. Psyllium, the main source of fiber in the product, has more

need for insulin. Psyllium supplementation, in particular, has been shown to improve blood sugar levels in diabetics.

Insoluble fiberInsoluble fiber cannot be dissolved in water, meaning that

our bodies cannot digest it. This type of fiber includes the undissolvable parts of plant walls and is found in greatest amounts in cereals, brans, and vegetables. The primary func-tion of insoluble fiber is to collect water that increases stool bulk in the large intestine. This promotes bowel movements, and as the bulk works through the intestine, it scours the intes-tinal walls of waste matter, reducing the risk of colon-related problems.

Fiber in the dietIn 2001, the Food and Nutrition Board of the Institute of

Medicine established an Adequate Intake (AI) recommenda-tion for total daily fiber intake. For adults who are 50 years of age and younger, the AI recommendation for total fiber intake is 38 g/day for men and 25 g/day for women. For adults over 50 years of age, the recommendation is 30 g/day for men and 21 g/day for women.

Studies have found that in populations with high-fiber diets, the incidences of colon cancer, appendicitis, and diver-ticulosis are very low. Industrialized countries, which largely have diets high in fat and low in fiber, have high incidences of these diseases.

Because fiber is low in calories, it can be added to your diet, providing a greater feeling of satiety without signifi-cantly increasing your caloric intake. The fiber found in fruits and plants serves as a source of complex carbohydrate, which most nutritionists consider to be a healthy choice. In addition, fiber’s ability to stabilize blood sugar may also curb the desire to snack. In other words, you may find yourself eating less. This is beneficial in weight-loss programs.

Cleansing, detox, and herbsThe concept of body cleansing has been with us for centu-

ries. Today, many health practitioners recognize the impor-tance of keeping the body in harmony to prevent sickness; it is often referred to as cleansing or detoxification. Many health practitioners believe that as our world becomes increasingly polluted with toxins found in the environment and in the foods we eat, cleansing becomes more important.

Why cleanse?Toxins undermine our health. A body overloaded with tox-

ins can result in a number of symptoms. These include con-stipation, stomach bloat, poor digestion, gas, fatigue, weight gain, excessive mucus, poor concentration, headaches, poor skin, poor memory, depression, body odor, and bad breath.

Some health practitioners relate toxins to specific diseases. They believe that chronic fatigue syndrome, multiple chemi-cal sensitivity, and fibromyalgia (muscle and joint pain) may be related to toxin exposure.

CleansingThe body does have a system in place for detoxifying

harmful toxins. The most important cleansing organ is the liver. Eliminative channels include the bowels (the digestive system), kidneys, skin, lungs, and lymphatic system.

When the body is not overburdened with toxins and is performing well, blood carries toxins to the liver, which uses enzymes to detoxify harmful substances. They are rendered harmless or converted into a water-soluble form that is elimi-nated via the urine or feces.

Unfortunately, this system can handle only so many toxins and was designed for “natural” toxins, not the man-made ones we have to deal with today. For example, protection against alcohol is built into our genes. One gene codes an enzyme to convert alcohol into substances that the body can use or excrete.

Our body does not, however, always know how to han-dle the new toxins in our lives. It cannot understand how to excrete them, and they may accumulate to harmful quantities or be converted to odd, unknown substances that can interfere with metabolism.

Today, there are different ways to cleanse the body. Among these are baths and hydrotherapy, diet and nutrition, herbs, chelation, and exercise. Herbal supplementation, often in conjunction with other methods, has been used for ages and is one of the most popular ways to cleanse. Herbs are said to promote cleansing by eliminating toxins from the organs and systems of the body.

To learn more about cleansing read AIM’s Detox & Reju-venate Program booklet.

AIM Herbal FiberblendOne tablespoon (7 g or one single-serving packet) of Herbal

Fiberblend contains 5 grams of fiber. Herbal Fiberblend con-tains both insoluble and soluble fiber. Psyllium, the main source of fiber in the product, has more than eight times the bulking power of oat bran. Psyllium is approximately 75 to 80 percent dietary fiber, 60 to 70 percent of which is soluble fiber. The herbs in Herbal Fiberblend bring you powerful detoxification effects. Herbal Fiberblend is one of the most valuable fiber and herbal products available today.

Herbal Fiberblend is a professional formulation of herbs in a convenient, easy-to-use powder or vegetarian capsule. The powder is available in unflavored or an all-natural raspberry flavor.

How does Herbal Fiberblend help digestive health?Herbal Fiberblend provides you with fiber and cleans-ing herbs. This combination helps you maintain bowel regularity, scours the intestine walls, and rids your body of toxins. A clean, toxin-free body is the first step toward good health. Fiber has also been shown to reduce cho-lesterol and maintain blood sugar levels.

How much fiber is in Herbal Fiberblend?A one-tablespoon (7 g) serving contains 5 grams of fiber.

Will the fiber in Herbal Fiberblend result in mineral

deficiencies or remove “good bacteria?”

Studies indicate that psyllium fiber will not result in mineral loss, and friendly bacteria actually feed on fiber.

What can I expect when I take Herbal Fiberblend?You may notice more regular bowel movements and more complete evacuation of waste. As the fiber and herbs “clean” your system, you may notice common detoxification symptoms. See AIM’s Detoxification data sheet for more information.

Can Herbal Fiberblend be habit-forming?No. None of the constituents of Herbal Fiberblend are habit-forming. However, if you stop taking it, you will need to replace the fiber by eating more natural fibers because your body will have grown accustomed to the amount of bulking fiber in AIM Herbal Fiberblend. If you do not replace it, you may experience some constipa-tion or irregularity as your body adjusts.

Is there anyone who should not use Herbal Fiberblend?New users should note that exposure to psyllium and black walnut hulls may create a sensitivity resulting in an allergic reaction. Before use, pregnant or nursing women, people taking prescription medications, peo-ple who have kidney disease, or high blood pressure should consult a health practitioner. Keep out of reach of children.

W hole body health is achieved when all body systems are in balance. AIM BarleyLife is an all-natural, green bar-

ley grass juice powder concentrate that helps provide the daily nutrition you need to develop a strong foundation for your good health. BarleyLife is available in a number of varieties: BarleyLife powder, BarleyLife Xtra powder (with 18 differ-ent fruits and vegetables), BarleyLife capsules (vegan), and BarleyLife Sample Packs.

Barley grass juice — a wide spectrum of potent nutrients

Research in the late 20th century revealed that young barley grass is the most nutritious of the green grasses. While bar-ley has been used as a grain since ancient times, the value of barley as a grass was overlooked. Japanese researchers dis-covered that the young, green barley grass was an incredibly complete source of nutrition, containing a wide spectrum of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, proteins, enzymes, chloro-phyll, and phytonutrients. Researchers also discovered that young barley is at its nutritional best before the beginning of the reproductive cycle, when the plant channels nutrition to the seed heads. In fact, when harvested at this early stage, young barley leaves have a different nutritional makeup from their adult counterparts.

A dilemma arises when we, as humans, attempt to derive nourishment from this nutrient-rich barley grass. The human

BarleyLife®

body is not equipped with the enzymes to break down the fiber in the barley grass. Thus, without intervention, this nutrition remains insoluble and is, therefore, not bioavailable to the hu-man body.

As research progressed on young barley grass, it was dis-covered that, when grass was juiced and fiber removed, the vast nutritional profile of barley was unlocked for human con-sumption. Barley grass became bioavailable. However, the nu-trients in the liquid state were quite fragile and had to be con-sumed within a very short time to retain their nutritive value. To provide a realistic shelf life, one more step was needed to make this barley juice readily available to humans.

A unique processing methodHow can the nutrients in barley grass be kept from oxidizing

and losing their potency? AIM uses an advanced processing technology in which the barley leaves are harvested with state-of-the-art equipment when their nutrients are most potent and alive. Within minutes, the leaves are juiced (not milled, as in many other barley grass products) and processed using the most advanced, innovative, and efficient cold processing method for maximum nutrition and fresh-tasting juice powder.

Brown Rice OligodextrinBarleyLife now contains brown rice oligodextrin instead

of corn maltodextrin. Brown rice oligodextrin offers the func-tional properties of maltodextrin with the benefits of native proteins and nutrients from brown rice that have always been a part of the BarleyLife formula. Oligodextrin added to the barley juice acts as a buffer between the enzymes and other molecules, stabilizing and maintaining the nutrients. The juice is spray-dried, using a special, low-temperature process. This preserves the delicate balance of vitamins, minerals, and other phytonutrients.

AIM uses only non-GMO, medium grain brown rice grown in the USA.

KelpBarleyLife contains Laminaria digitata, a wild, unculti-

vated species of kelp from Atlantic ocean waters. Kelp pro-vides additional iodine content to BarleyLife. Deficiencies in iodine have been linked to developmentally impaired cognitive functions in young children. These deficiencies have also been associated with extreme fatigue, depression, weight gain, and low basal body temperatures.

As a nutrient-dense, whole food, BarleyLife becomes an ideal fast food. Among these nutrients, several deserve a closer look.

ChlorophyllChlorophyll has been studied for its potential in stimulating

tissue growth and in stimulating red blood cells in connection with oxygen supply. A remarkable similarity has been found between chlorophyll and the red pigment in the blood.

According to an article in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute, chlorophyll fed to laboratory animals reduces absorp-tion of three dietary carcinogens: heterocyclic amines (found in cooked muscle meat), polycyclic hydrocarbons (found in smoked and barbecued foods), and aflatoxin (a mold toxin found on peanuts). The chlorophyll formed complex com-pounds with the carcinogens while they were in the digestive tract, limiting their bioavailability. The limiting of alflatoxin’s bioavailability has been reinforced in a 2009 human study pub-lished in Cancer Prevention Research.

Chlorophyll also removes carbon dioxide and carbon mon-oxide and has been found to reduce fecal, urinary, and body odor. In addition, it has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant prop-erties. Chlorophyll is one of the most fragile nutrients in Bar-

leyLife. By testing for chlorophyll content during processing and throughout the shelf-life of the product, AIM ensures each serving of BarleyLife contains more than 22 mg of chlorophyll.

Lutonarin and SaponarinLutonarin (7-O-GIO) and saponarin (7-O-GIV) serve as

very powerful antioxidants. Lutonarin is the superior antioxi-dant of the two and is found in high concentrations in Barley-Life. Research in New Zealand has observed that lutonarin and saponarin content in barley leaves increases with UV expo-sure. This indicates they may provide antioxidant protection against environmental stresses.

Vitamin KBarleyLife contains naturally occurring vitamin K1 (phy-

tonadione), which is found in plants. This fat-soluble vitamin plays a key role in proper bone growth and bone density main-tenance. A study at the Hebrew Rehabilitation Center for the Aged found that a healthy diet containing ample amounts of vitamin K may help to ensure adequate bone density and pro-tect against osteoporosis and hip fracture in postmenopausal women. BarleyLife contains 100 percent of the Reference Dai-ly Intake (RDI) of vitamin K per serving.

Superoxide Dismutase (SOD)Green barley leaves contain a multitude of enzymes. En-

zymes are essential for the thousands of chemical reactions that occur throughout the body, including the absorption of di-gested nutrients. The enzyme superoxide dismutase (SOD) is a powerful antioxidant thought to slow the rate of cell destruc-tion by providing a defense against free radicals, especially the most prolific free radical, superoxide. Superoxide free radicals are thought to be responsible for the breakdown of synovial fluid that leads to the inflammatory response in joints. Much of the current clinical research on SOD is focused on arthritis, bursitis, and gout. SOD is heat sensitive, and it is considered to be a measurement of overall enzymatic activity. If SOD is present in a food in an active state, it can be concluded that the other enzymes in the food are also present in an active state. Enzymes are not found in processed and cooked foods. Bar-leyLife has been tested by a third party laboratory to have the superoxide radical scavenging capacity againt superoxide of 972 mcgmole TE/serving.

Alkalinity (pH)Green barley grass has a strong alkalizing effect, which

helps keep the ratio between acidity and alkalinity in our body fluids balanced. Our cells cannot function efficiently if the pH

(which measures acidity and alkalinity) is not in a narrow range. Most processed foods are acidifying, and when we con-sume too many of them, the acid-alka-line balance is upset. Green barley grass

contains the alkalizing minerals potas-sium, calcium, and magnesium. These minerals neutralize acidic materials and can help maintain a healthy acid-

Is there anyone who should not use BarleyLife?BarleyLife is a whole-food concentrate, so most people should be able to take it. Those with severe medical problems or complications should consult a health care practitioner. Those on a restricted diet (especially in regard to “green foods”) should also consult a health care practitioner.

I started taking BarleyLife, 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 AIM’s Detoxification datasheet.

What is oligodextrin?Oligodextrin is made from whole brown rice using a natural hydrolysis process without the use of acids, alkalis, or sulfites. Brown rice oligodextrin is a complex carbohydrate that functions as a buffer between the enzymes and other molecules, stabilizing and maintaining the nutrients.

How can I prevent humidity related clumping?AIM BarleyLife can be put in a newer freezer (equipped with a dehumidifier) to preserve the nutrients and prevent humidity related clumping. Shake canister well before opening.
