The Detriments of BarleyLife Xtra

BarleyLife Xtra label

You may be thinking, "What are the negatives regarding BarleyLife Xtra?"

The following are the detriments I've come up with concerning this green powder:

  • Some people may not like the taste. (The original BarleyLife is available in veggie capsules.)
  • BarleyLife Xtra cannot be purchased at a retail store. If you run out and don't have a backup jar, it typically takes five to seven days for a new order to arrive. (Monthly auto-ship is available.)
  • The green powder may not look appetizing to some people, making it harder to get a child or spouse to try it. (That's why we put BarleyLife Xtra in juice for our picky eater son.)
  • A small number of people may feel worse initially due to detoxification, as the body releases stored toxins. Temporary tiredness, rash, or headache may occur and usually lasts only a few days.
  • The kelp, vitamin K, and certain other nutrients in BarleyLife Xtra may interfere with some medications. If your doctor has not forbidden you from eating salads or green vegetables, BarleyLife Xtra is generally acceptable.
  • Some people may feel the cost does not fit their budget. You should not purchase BarleyLife Xtra if you cannot afford it. Cheap supplements are not good, and good supplements are not cheap. The most expensive supplement is one that doesn't work.
  • Because it's real food, BarleyLife Xtra is best absorbed on an empty stomach. This may not always be convenient. (We take it first thing in the morning. Our son drinks his in juice throughout the day.)
  • Nutritional supplements take time to rebuild the body. They are not quick fixes like drugs or surgery. People who are very sick may need to use BarleyLife Xtra for at least three months before noticing meaningful improvement.

By the way, BarleyLife Xtra is not a magic bullet or a "miracle" cure. It is one part of an overall healthy lifestyle.

Reducing or removing sugar, grains, and vegetable oils - along with eating well, exercising, sleeping adequately, minimizing stress, and getting plenty of sunshine - goes a long way toward improving your odds for good health.

So those are the detriments of this green barley powder.
