Chlorophyll has been shown to accelerate wound healing and has no toxic side effects. It provides protection against chemicals and radiation, and inhibits the carcinogenic effects of common dietary and environmental chemicals. It inhibits the growth of germs by providing an environment in the body that interferes with their growth. Chlorophyll even promotes intestinal regularity.

Natural vitamins such as those found in BarleyMax are never isolated but always found in food as living complexes. While there are many known components making up a vitamin complex, there are just as many unidentified naturally occurring components. These complexes are found in a synergistic blend that is biologically available, and easily assimilated at the cellular level when taken into the body from raw food sources like BarleyMax.

Minerals in their natural form are always combined with specific amino acids, and sometimes with vitamins in a process called chelation. Our bodies are designed to consume minerals only in this chelated form. BarleyMax maintains the natural form of these minerals for the body to use easily.

Antioxidants help rid the body of free radicals, unnatural molecules that travel through the body "burning" everything they touch. These free radicals play a large role in disease and aging. The body has natural defenses for them in our immune system but these defenses can find themselves outnumbered. BarleyMax is a good source of the antioxidants the body needs.
