Aktiv —Activated Barley™ Formula
|
|
Research carried out for over thirteen years by the Hagiwara
Institute of Health in Japan on more than 150 different plants,
revealed that:
|
| |
| "Barley is the most excellent source of nutrients
that the body needs for growth, repair and well-being." |
| |
| Ingredients |
Barley, organically grown and processed without any chemicals |
|
Soy protein, non-genetically engineered |
|
Fructose, processed without any chemicals in Norway |
| |
 Slow-burning
Carbohydrates
Food and nutritional research demonstrates that the best energy
source for the body is a slow-burning complex carbohydrate that
provides well-balanced blood sugar and insulin levels.Barley Formula
contains only slow-burning carbohydrates. |

 The
OFO-MethodT and
AKTIV-N-ERGYT.
Named after the Swedish inventor Owe Forsberg, the OFO-Method is
a unique patented natural treatment of Barley that increases the
energy level by 400% and activates nutrients and dormant enzymes
in a way that ensures optimal assimilation in the body. |
| |
|
| AKTIV-N-ERGY is the proprietary name of the
Activated Barley™ product treated with the OFO-Method. |
| It is hypoallergenic and does not contain anything
but pure Activated Barley™; no yeast, whey, wheat, artificial
flavours, colours, preservatives or other chemical additives. This
makes it ideal as a natural high energy additive
or base for other natural herbs, supplements and formulas. |

 Proteins
and Amino Acids
Aktiv — Activated Barley™ Formula contains 30%
protein and eighteen amino acids, including all eight essential amino acids
(refer to table of values  ).
|
| |
|
|
Enzymes, Vitamins, and Minerals
Aktiv — Acivated Barley Formula also contains
a multitude of enzymes. Enzymes are the catalysts for the body's essential
chemical reactions. They are responsible for digestive processes, for providing
cellular energy and for anti-oxidation.
|
| |
|
|
 Whole
food vitamins and minerals
Aktiv Barley Formula contains a multitude of natural whole-food
vitamins and minerals obtained from the barley grain, such as
vitamins A, B6, E, Thiamine, Riboflavin, Niacin, Folic Acid, Pantothenic
Acid, Potassium, Calcium, Phosphorus, Magnesium, Iron, Zinc, Copper
and Manganese
(refer to table of values ).
|
| |
| Whole-food vitamins, as opposed to synthetic
vitamins, do not rob precious nutrients from the body, but supply
the individual cells with the nutrients they need to flourish. To
determine if a product supplies whole food or synthetic nutrients,
simply read the product label. If foods are listed as the nutrient
sources, rather than multi-syllabic chemical names, the nutrients
are from whole foods. |
| |
|
 Chlorophyll
Aktiv — Activated Barley™ Formula naturally contains
chlorophyll. Chlorophyll has been studied for its potential as a deodorant,
in stimulating tissue growth, and in stimulating red blood cells in
connection with blood supply. Perhaps most remarkable is the similarity
between chlorophyll and the red pigment in blood. Research in the 1940s
demonstrated that the two pigments react identically during breakdown. |
| |
|
| Alkalinity |
| Aktiv has a highly alkalising effect, helping
to maintain a balanced body fluid acidity-alkalinity (pH). The body's
cells cannot adequately function if the pH is not within a narrow
range. Most processed foods are acidic, so a processed-food-orientated
diet generally disturbs the body's pH balance. The buffer minerals
in Barley Formula, such as sodium, potassium, calcium and magnesium,
help to neutralise acidic materials and thus promote a healthy pH
balance. |
| |
|
| Other possible benefits |
| Recent research has unveiled many other possible benefits
from barley. Extracted compounds may have cholesterol-reducing,
anti-inflammatory and anti-ulcer properties. A new antioxidant,
2"-O-glycosylisovitexin (2" -O-GIV), has been isolated and reported
to have antioxidant activity equal or superior to vitamin E. |
