The Story Behind BarleyLife
Most people have no idea where BarleyLife came from.
Or why it was created in the first place.
The story starts with a Japanese scientist named Dr. Yoshihide Hagiwara.
He held more than 200 pharmaceutical patents.
But after developing mercury poisoning from chemical exposure during his research career, he started asking different questions.
Over the next several decades, he studied hundreds of plants.
One kept standing out.
Young barley grass.
But Dr. Hagiwara believed the plant was only part of the story.
How it was processed mattered too.
Heat can damage delicate nutrients.
Especially enzymes and antioxidants.
So he developed a method to juice young barley grass and dry it at low temperatures.
That process became the foundation for BarleyLife.
Today, the barley is harvested during the cool of the night.
The grass is quickly juiced and cold processed to help preserve sensitive nutrients.
In the video above, AIM President Dennis Itami explains how the company has refined the process over the years.
For more than forty years, people have continued using BarleyLife.
Not because it's new.
Because they believe nutrition matters.
