Barley Gold™ was first formulated with Agriculture Canada to test barley feed with broiler chickens. Physiological results were so remarkable, that we believed people could also benefit greatly from this enhanced barley. With further study and development, this all natural whole food product that is known today as Barley Gold™, came into existence.

We call our revolutionary 4-point process Breakthru BIOMONICS. We want our customers to understand the depths we go to provide them with this BIONOMIC Barley GoldTM, which literally starts from the ground up.

Ecological Soil Management System

SOIL: We ensure the soils are not only balanced but rich in providing the plants with nutrition to be healthy, strong, and very nutritious.

Density Alteration

SEPERATION: One bad seed can spoil the bunch! The Density Alteration separates the dead seeds from the live seeds, which means no yeasts or moulds.

Growth Enhancement Method

SPROUTING: The key to sprouting is to make sure all the seeds are given their own need of water, as to not drown seeds, which causes yeast, mould and gluten issues in most sprouted grains.

Nutrient Stabilization Process

STABILIZATION: Foods, once picked from the vine or soil, have minutes before most of its vital enzymes and important anti-oxidants are deteriorated. The Barley GoldTM has been stabilized in this alive and nutritiously beneficial state for up to 3 years!

Breakthru goes beyond Holistic, beyond Organic into a new realm of.... Bionomic!

Barley has Biblically and historically been known as a nutrient rich food. Gladiators used it in preparing and building their bodies for matches. Eastern cultures used to sprout seeds to prevent scurvy before long ship voyages.
“Barley is naturally rich in other minerals also, from calcium and potassium to B-complex vitamins and it’s high in antioxidants called to cols that are known for ages in the Middle Eastern cultures as heart medicine.”
“The Edmonton Journal” Oct. 27 1999.

What are the benefits of sprouting?

Sprouting is as an effective way to increase vitamin content and digestibility. Some people believe sprouts to be the most nutrient-rich food on Earth. Sprouted grains have increased vitamin and nutrient content because the seed is first sprouted, making it alive and active in its growth process.

Whole seeds have not had nutrients stripped from the grain and then added back into the product later on. BARLEYGOLDTM sprouting has been synchronized and stabilized before grinding and therefore is a live food in the most unrefined stage possible.

Research shows that, in sprouts, one finds one of the foods highest vitamin and mineral content. Sprouts should, therefore, occupy a prominent place in the diet. There are very few commercial avenues for purchasing sprouted foods. Most "raw foods bars" are raw but not sprouted (and therefore do not have active enzymes). The same is true of most nut and seed butters.

The fact that sprouts have a limited shelf-life is unfortunate. However, BARLEYGOLDTM sprouted organic whole food barley nutrients have been non-chemically stabilized for up to two years. This product is easy to use and a fabulous addition to your diet!

More and more people are discovering the benefits that can be received by adding to the diet the condensed energy hidden within the seed and released in the form of sprouts. The endosperm of the seed is the storehouse of carbohydrates, protein, and oil.

When the seed germinates, these become predigested amino acids and natural sugars upon which the plant embryo feeds as it grows to maturity. When used as food, the life force is released and supplies the energy which is capable of generating healthy cells in the body and supplying one with new vigor and life.

Sprouting grains converts starches activitates hydrolytic enzymes, improves the contents of total proteins, fat, certain essential amino acids, total sugars, B-group vitamins, and naturally lowers dry matter and protective anti- nutrients within the seed. These adjusted contents can only be attributable to the disappearance of starch from the metabolic effects of the sprouting process.

The rich bioavailable digestible energy in vitamins, minerals, amino acids, proteins, and phytochemicals, as these are necessary for a germinating seed to grow and mature. These nutrients are also are essential for human health.

Nutritional changes of sprouting

Are mainly due to the breakdown of complex compounds into a more simple form and the transformation of protective mechanisms into desirable constituents.

Increased protein quality and quantity. The conversion of storage proteins of cereal grains into albumins and globulins during sprouting improve the quality of cereal proteins.

Increase in the content of the amino acid Lysine.

Increased inproteolytic activity improving hydrolysis of prolamins and the liberating of amino acids such as glutamic and proline to amino acids such as lysine.

Decrease of crude fiber the major constituent of cell walls, with the synthesis of structural carbohydrates, such as cellulose and hemicellulose.

Increases in essential fatty acids. The increase in lipase activity has been reported in barley by MacLeod and White (1962), as cited by Chavan and Kadam (1989). Increased lipolytic activity during germination and sprouting causes hydrolysis of triacylglycerols to glycerol and constituent fatty acids.

Increased vitamin content. Most reports agree that sprouting treatment of cereal grains generally improves their vitamin value, especially the B-group vitamins.Certain vitamins such as α-tocopherol (Vitamin-E) and β-carotene (Vitamin-A precursor) are produced during the growth process. Sprouts provide a good supply of Vitamins A, E & C plus B complex.

Like enzymes, vitamins serve as bioactive catalysts to assist in the digestion and metabolism of grains and the release of energy. They are also essential for the healing and repair of cells.

However, vitamins are very perishable, and in general, the fresher the sprouted grains eaten, the higher the vitamin content. The vitamin content of some seeds can increase by up to 20 times their original value within several days of sprouting. Compared with mature plants, sprouts can yield vitamin contents 30 times higher.

Minerals are chelated. When seeds are sprouted, minerals chelate or merge with protein, in a way that increases their function. The comparisons are of dormant, non-sprouted seed to sprouted seed.

Able, when used as an adjunct to the diet, to retard the aging process, since they contain ample amounts of male and female hormones, available in their most assimilate able form.

Also, when sprouted grains convert a portion of starch to simple sugars, making it a wholesome food acceptable to many who would otherwise need to eliminate gluten grains as a food source.

• Produces vitamin C but also changes the composition of grain and seeds in numerous beneficial ways.
  
• Increases the vitamin B content, especially B2, B5 and B6.
  
• Carotene increases dramatically – sometimes eightfold.
  
• Neutralizes phytic acid, a substance, present in the bran of all grains that inhibits absorption of calcium, magnesium, iron, copper and zinc; sprouting also neutralizes enzyme inhibitors present in all seeds. These inhibitors can neutralize our own precious enzymes in the digestive tract. (Gluten intolerances)
  
• Complex sugars responsible for intestinal gas are broken down during sprouting, and a portion of the starch in grain is transformed into sugar.
  
• Sprouting inactivates Alfa toxin, potent carcinogens found in grains.
  
• Numerous enzymes that help digestion are produced during the germination process.
  
• Germination (sprouting) increases the enzyme activity as much as six times.

As mentioned, testing was done on broiler chickens. They make good test subjects as they do not respond to placebos and due to a relatively short life span for a completion of extensive batteries of tests.

The bioassay (animal feed tests determining efficacy’s tests) concluded the broiler chickens had...

• Higher red and white blood cells.
• Higher bone density.
• Stronger hearts.
• Leaner, heavier muscle mass.
• Higher intestinal viscosity.

Broiler Chicken Research available.

Another test is our Barley GoldTM Nutritional Comparison, which proved that Barley Gold’s digestibility of the nutritious seed was brought from 5% to 95%. This is a great tool, as the Nutrition Facts on the side of the jar do not have the capabilities to test the digestion to one’s body and all the enormous nutrition factored in with this digestion.

Tests on Barley GoldTM Alkalizing Flush

Barley Gold™ has been used in a study by nutritionists in Toronto, Canada. It is now being used as a nutritional supplement taken during a fasting / cleansing regime, to which has shown rapid healing and weight loss by putting the body in an Alkaline thus healing state.

The idea of the Barley Gold™ Alkalizing Flush was: “To subsist entirely on a food substance which is rumoured to have a useful way of promoting healthy function in organ and tissue systems, while restoring dysfunctional cells.” Each applicant was given a short questionnaire, a nutritional evaluation and consultation, EAC Testing (Electro dermal), daily record charts and a self-assessment report.

If you are interested in furthering your healing or weight loss, please ask your distributor for the Barley Gold™ Alkalizing Flush protocol.

Electro dermal test results available.

What are the benefits of taking Barley GoldTM?

Our whole food barley product provides a bountiful, natural balance of these nutrients. Through our Breakthru Bionomics process, these nutrients, naturally found in barley, are exponentially enhanced. This phyto-nutrient is high in vitamins, minerals, enzymes, fiber, enzymes and antioxidants.

Due to the enhanced digestibility of 95%, from the Nutrient Stabilization Process, the Barley Gold™ can transport more amino acids and nutrients to our organs. In doing so, the essential nutrients that our bodies need, enables the body to heal and rid toxins efficiently and effectively.

The benefits from this product come from the various nutrients themselves. (Available breakdown of Barley nutrition). The Nutrient Stabilization Process has increased the superoxide dismutase (SOD) antioxidant levels individually as seen below.

"For example zinc, copper and manganese form a very potent antioxidant called SOD or superoxide dismutase. This enzyme is a very powerful anti-oxidant that actually neutralizes free radicals and prevents damage to our cell membranes.

When the membranes are being assaulted by smoke, radiation from the sun, poisons or chemicals, SOD acts to repair them. If we don’t have enough zinc, copper and manganese, the repair process will not be effective".
(Colbert, M.D., Don Walking in Divine Health Soloam P.)

"SOD’s are free radical scavengers. Free radicals are found in inflamed cancerous tumours, and other inflammations and degenerative diseases such as arthritis."
(Dr. Harold Klassen)

How much of the Barley Gold™ is usable for my body?

This product is 95% digestible and useful to the body as a dietary source food for nutritional food supplement. “Out of the bottle‟ or chemical pill sources have less evidence of usefulness. Natural food sources of nutrients are generally more available for use by the body.

Breakthru’s Bionomic 4 point process ensures the quality and assurance behind Barley Gold’s™ digestibility and usability.

The Density Alteration - removal the dead seeds - eliminates the leading cause of mould and yeast issues found in the deteriorating dead seeds among sprouted seeds and flours. This leads to the growing gluten issues.

The Growth Enhancement Method - ensures all the seeds are sprouted at the same time - which eradicates drowning of any sprouting seeds. Assuring the above issues are not a worry. All the seeds are alive and are 95% usable for the body. This means quick absorption of needed nutrients, in addition with the longevity of Barley Gold’s™ high protein content. Basically High Glycemic fast results with Low Glycemic endurance!

What does the Barley Gold™ look or taste like?

Barley Gold™ is in a flour-like, powdered form. It has the ability to take on the taste of whatever it is put into. In other words it can be easily camouflaged for children if put into yogurt, or even in between their peanut butter and jam sandwich.

Alone, it has a taste similar to nutty flour. The simplest means of intake is to take a spoonful and wash it down with water. You can put it in juice, your favourite smoothie, or nut-milk.

Stir it into your cereal or cooled porridge. You can be quite creative, but avoid putting the Barley Gold™ in anything that is over 35 degrees Celsius (105 degrees F). So do not microwave, cook or bake with Barley Gold™.

How do I store this product, what is the shelf life, and how much in a container?

If the Barley Gold™ is stored in a sealed container in your cupboard or on your counter, then that is usually good enough. If the climate is humid, it is best to keep it in the fridge, and definitely sealed.

Do not leave the Barley Gold™ in an overheated car, or in any heat above 35 degrees C. (105 degrees F.) Freezing the Barley Gold™ is fine, but will not postpone the life expectancy any further.

Life expectancy is a bit over 2 years, which is a remarkable shelf life that is due to our natural process called Nutrient Stabilization Process. The container will have a best before date. The containers hold approximately a one-month supply consumed daily at the highest suggested serving of 2 tablespoons per day.

Who can benefit from Barley Gold™ 1 or Barley Gold™ 2

Most everyone, from babies to seniors, can start and stay on Barley Gold™ 1. If one needs more protein in their diet, the Barley Gold™ 2 is recommended. The Barley Gold™ 2 should be consumed by active athletic persons (especially high performance athletes), “O” blood types, pre / diabetics, and even raw food vegans.
