How to tell if you need more magnesium

Posted on by

Magnesium’s function in the human body is vast—everything from electrolyte
maintenance to metabolism to heart health and so much more can be traced back to
magnesium. The new AIM Mag-nificence™ can help create a body in balance and lead to improved health in a number of areas.

How can you tell if you need more magnesium? Without a definitive test for magnesium deficiency, the best option is careful self-examination of your diet and lifestyle. Answer the following questions to see
where you stand.

Do you regularly drink dark-colored soft drinks?

The phosphates in these sodas bind with magnesium and hinder its efficacy.

Do you eat sweet foods and desserts on a regular basis?

Refined sugars rob the body of vital nutrients, including magnesium.

Are you constantly under stress?

The body uses magnesium to counter emotionally stressful situations.

Have you recently undergone a major medical procedure?

Like emotional stress, physical stress takes a toll on the magnesium reserves in
your body.

Do you drink coffee, tea, or caffeinated beverages daily?

Caffeine causes the kidneys to release extra magnesium.

Do you take prescription drugs?

Certain diuretics, heart medications, asthma medications, birth control pills, and
estrogen replacement therapies may cause magnesium deficiency by way of excess kidney filtering, similar to caffeine’s effect.

Do you drink more than seven alcoholic beverages per week?

Like caffeine and prescription drugs, a high intake of alcohol can cause the kidneys to over-excrete magnesium.

Do you take calcium supplements without a proper ratio of magnesium supplements?

Magnesium and calcium work hand-in-hand, but when the amount of calcium greatly exceeds that of magnesium, the imbalance can hinder magnesium absorption and retention.

Do you experience neurologic or neuromuscular symptoms?

Neurologic symptoms may include anxiety, restlessness, or sleeplessness; neuromuscular symptoms may include spasms, cramps, and tics. These signs could hint at magnesium deficiency since magnesium plays an important role in the health of the neurologic system.

Are you over the age of fifty-five?

Aging, stress, and disease all contribute to lower magnesium levels.

To meet your magnesium need, consider the Mag-nificence family of products —three new applications: bath crystals, spray, and gel, plus traditional AIM Cell Wellness Restorer™ bath additive.

I re-energized my cells with AIM Mag-nificence™

Director Melissa Dobney from Adrian, Oregon

I have a trigger point along the right side of my neck down to nearly my shoulder. It gives me electrical, shooting pain. I had a treatment for it thirteen years ago—a steroid injection—and that was the only thing that has given me relief … until Mag-nificence.

The last two years, when the pain started coming back, I would just go with it. But when the Mag-nificence products came out, Director Ron Murray suggested I put it on there. The pain went away almost immediately. Now, it’s very infrequent, and if it does bother me, I’ll simply put on more Mag-nificence.

When I’m at home, I use the Mag-nificence gel and rub it onto my shoulder. If I’m out and about, I’ll use the spray.

For my face, I’ll spray the magnesium spray on and then apply the magnesium gel. I can feel it tighten up my skin.

I had a dark scar on my leg from a spider bite, and with Mag-nificence, the scar is
lightening up and thinning up. It’s been a remarkable visible change. The scar even had a big indentation because of tissue death, and now it’s almost even with the skin.

Natural, non-stimulant energy

How often during the day do you say to yourself, “I feel tired” or “I don’t have any energy”? You probably need more adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Your body produces ATP—
converted from nutritional intake for your inter-cellular energy. However, ATP production declines after you reach the age of twenty. To increase your energy level, reduce fatigue, and enhance your general well-being, supplement with ATP from AIM Peak Endurance®—a natural blueberry-açai-flavored energy drink.

Whether you need more ATP for your fitness program, your demanding daily schedule, or
an age-related deficiency, Peak Endurance increases your energy without elevating your
heart rate. This is a common side effect from products containing caffeine and ephedra—neither of which are in Peak Endurance. And you won’t find the 30 or more grams of refined sugar found in most energy drinks. Peak Endurance contains only 1 gram of natural sugar.

Electrolytes transport electrical impulses and messages from cell to cell for functions such as muscle contractions and glucose metabolism. So in addition to ATP, Peak Endurance also contains six major electrolytes—sodium (from sea salt), potassium, phosphorus, calcium, magnesium, and chloride. Peak Endurance also includes a whole-food electrolyte, coconut water, which is rich in potassium and contains a natural source of calcium and sodium.

Peak Endurance offers even more nutritional benefits. One serving provides 50 percent of the U.S. recommended daily intake (RDI) of six B vitamins—1, 2, 3, 5, 6, and 12—essential for metabolizing carbohydrates into energy, as well as building muscle and DNA synthesis. Peak Endurance also provides 72 percent of the RDI for vitamin C per serving.

Daily boosts of energy from Peak Endurance can help to keep you younger longer.

Are you getting adequate greens, fiber, and essential fatty acids?

Three deficiencies are absolutely unacceptable for your state of health—a lack of greens, fiber, and essential fatty acids. This deprives your body of life-giving nutrition that can help to ensure good health and longevity by gently detoxifying, balancing your body pH, and combating inflammation. You do not want to be lacking in any of the Daily Essentials™.

This is why AIM offers a variety of cost-effective product combinations that feature
AIM BarleyLife® or AIM BarleyLife® Xtra, AIM Herbal Fiberblend® or AIM FibreBalance®
(CAN), and AIMega®. The Daily Essentials packs provide all-natural, supplementary greens, fiber, and omega-3 and -6 essential fatty acids so that you are never deficient in any of these three nutritive necessities.

Greens

When you supplement your diet with essential greens from BarleyLife, you are going beyond the nutritional value of green vegetables alone. Including chlorophyll,
vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, the wealth of natural nutrients in young barley grass is extracted and made available in a juice powder that is easily absorbed by your body, enriching your cells with unparalleled nutrition.

Fiber

Too many people are fiber-deficient—an open door to health problems. A clean, optimally functioning intestinal tract ensures a strong immune system—around 70 percent of which is in the colon. The fiber in Herbal Fiberblend or FibreBalance helps to maintain a high-fiber intake along with cleansing herbs that not only supports
a healthy digestive tract, but can lower blood sugar, maintain heart health, and lower the risk of death from lung disease and infections.

Omega 3 and 6

If you are not getting omega-3 and -6 essential fatty acids (EFAs), you are literally starving your cells. However, your body cannot make the EFAs required for healthy
cell growth, repair, and energy production. You have to get them from particular foods or through supplementation. AIMega makes it easy to avoid being EFA-deficient.

Supplementing with the Daily Essentials never leaves you lacking.

I feel more energetic, especially from taking BarleyLife. My whole body system functions much better by taking Herbal Fiberblend and AIMega. I sure noticed the
difference when I stopped taking them for a while. My chiropractor reminded me about how good they were for me. I tried them again, and I haven’t looked back since. My husband is taking the BarleyLife as well. I also want to say AIM is always a pleasure to deal with whenever I call in to place orders.

My husband and I have been taking AIM products since 2003, and we’ve used The Daily Essentials for over six years. We’re in our early senior years, and both of us are in good health, even though Gerry had a second knee replacement in April 2012. I had read
about a Member taking therapeutic doses of AIM products before surgery and having
very little pain afterward. So just before knee surgery, Gerry started therapeutic doses of BarleyLife and AIMega and continued post-op. Of course, the hospital staff didn’t want him taking the products, but he got off medication sooner than the previous surgery and recovered far more quickly.

The value of all-natural, vegetable nutrition

Posted on by

April is the month for Earth Day, but any time of year is worth celebrating whole-food nutrition, greens, and natural health.

In order to match the nutritive power of the AIM Garden Trio®, you would need two to three servings of green vegetables to equal a single serving of AIM BarleyLife®. As for concentrated nutrition, it takes twenty-five pounds of carrots to equal one pound of AIM Just Carrots®, and twenty-five pounds of beets to equal one pound AIM RediBeets®.

If all-natural, vegetable nutrition is your aim, then the Garden Trio is the ultimate solution.

The benefits of fresh fruits and vegetables in your diet

Earth Day, observed on April 22 this year, promotes awareness of our natural environment, and AIM represents the finest natural nutrition on our planet. Eating right can make all the difference.

Consider that consumption of fruits and green leafy vegetables has a wide-ranging effect on overall health — everything from a simple boost of energy and well-being to possible reductions of many types of diseases. In fact, an online article from Stanford Medicine maintains that fruits and vegetables containing phytochemicals may deter cancer growth.

Another way of viewing the importance of fruits and vegetables is to examine a diet without them. Those who consume a low amount of fruits and vegetables, especially in proportion to animal protein and bad carbohydrates, run a higher risk of acidosis. An acidic body can result in a variety of ailments: lethargy, respiratory problems, chest pain, bone loss, and more. On top of this, choosing processed foods filled with sugars and additives instead of wholesome, natural choices can lead to diabetes and obesity.

Juicing

Many people who recognize the importance of fruits and vegetables turn to juicing to
ensure they get as much nutrition in their diet as possible. Juicing provides a concentration of nutrients. Juices are ingested and assimilated within fifteen minutes, and this enables the nutrients to be used almost completely for the
nourishment of the cells.

The downside of juicing is the expense in terms of money, time, and effort. A better solution—for money, time, and effort—is AIM concentrates. Simply scoop, stir, and enjoy.

What AIM products have to offer

AIM’s garden of whole-food supplements contains only the best in all-natural, non-GMO ingredients.

BarleyLife is made from young barley leaves, the most nutritious plants on Earth. Of its many benefits, this ideal source of natural vitamins and minerals creates a healthy, alkalizing effect on body pH. BarleyLife contains the alkalizing minerals potassium, calcium, and magnesium, which neutralize acidic materials (accumulated in part from an industrialized diet) and help the body maintain acid-alkaline balance. AIM BarleyLife® Xtra is an additional nutritional option.

Just Carrots, made from 100 percent natural carrot juice, contains 420 percent of the
Recommended Daily Allowance of vitamin A per serving in the form of alpha- and beta-carotene. Vitamin A is a valuable companion to the Healthy Cell Concept™ as it helps
strengthen the immune system and promote cell growth.

RediBeets red beet juice powder counts betaine among its many nutrients. Betaine plays a role in reducing homocysteine levels; high levels of homocysteine often accompany cardiovascular disease.

For the most effective, efficient form of natural, whole-food health, AIM supplements like the Garden Trio provide you with life-giving, plant nutrients from the Earth—every day.

Improve cellular health with magnesium

Increase your magnesium levels with AIM’s two new topical delivery systems.

Magnesium is vital to health and wellness, affecting nearly every system of the body due to its cellular and molecular function. Its impact is powerful, as it assists in electrolyte balance, metabolism, and other biochemical reactions. Magnesium is an essential mineral for living well. Yet few people receive an adequate amount.

More than 70 percent of U.S. adults do not consume the Recommended Daily
Allowance (RDA) of magnesium. Nearly 20 percent get less than half of their
magnesium RDA. Since the body does not produce the mineral on its own, people
must acquire magnesium through diet and supplements, and it is clear they have failed to do so.

One way to improve your magnesium intake is the new AIM Mag-nificence™ line
of magnesium products—bath crystals and spray. The topical application of magnesium is absorbed by the skin. This method of nutrient delivery dates back to Ancient Roman times and can be seen today in various forms like saunas, and skin creams.

The Mag-nificence products — bath crystals, spray, and AIM Cell Wellness
Restorer™ bath additive — are a gentle way to raise your body’s essential mineral profile.

When your body has the minerals it needs, you can begin to experience the results of a system in balance. With proper amounts of magnesium, you may feel improved heart health, increased relaxation, lessened pain, and other benefits. A magnesium deficiency, on the other hand, has been tied to over 100 ailments, most notably osteoporosis, high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and asthma.

AIM’s new Mag-nificence line of magnesium chloride products ensure that you stay on top of your magnesium needs.

“If you’re not using Mag-nificence™, you cannot be as healthy and alive as you can be. These products individually and collectively are specifically designed, blended, and created with the intent to create the greatest wellness, the greatest sensation, and the greatest awareness of your natural, magnificent self and to discover that your beauty is not skin deep, your health is not skin deep. Your magnificence should shine forth from the inside out.”

—Ron Murray, AIM Director

I met AIM Director Ron Murray in 1997 and was introduced to the AIM products. Later, he let me experiment with the magnesium crystal bath salts. As a registered massage therapist, I knew how the chemical reaction could produce different results and could affect your body on a cellular level. Without magnesium, your body cannot absorb calcium. Since our biggest organ is our skin, what better way than salt baths or foot soaks to receive magnesium. To create a perfect cell you need the following components: calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium, and other trace minerals. These are all in the magnesium salts.

In 2002, I met with Ron and his wife, and I did a bone density test. To my amazement, the graph showed I have 117 percent bone density. We did the test again just to rule out any errors, and the same numbers came up … not bad for a forty-two-year-old!

Now I am fifty-two years old, and I have been doing massage for eighteen years and still have a passion and the ability to carry on for another ten years before retiring. As a result of using the magnesium salts, I have the most amazing soft skin; I never use lotions or creams of any sort.

Now I promote the magnesium chloride crystals to all of my clients and they return for more as the benefits have proven themselves.

Achieve peak performance with Peak ATP, vitamin C, and more

Posted on by

The results you have come to appreciate from AIM Peak Endurance® are now delivered in a bold, new flavor with additional vitamin C and natural electrolytes.

Peak Endurance electrolyte energy mix (5254E, $35.00) now comes in blueberry acai,
replacing the former grape flavor. Each 300-gram canister of Peak Endurance makes up to five-and-a-half gallons of blueberry-acai-flavored energy drinks.

In addition to the flavor change, the formulation of Peak Endurance has undergone some improvements. Notably, the vitamin C content in Peak, which previously accounted for 50 percent of a person’s Recommended Daily Intake (RDI), now accounts for 72 percent of the RDI (USA) for vitamin C per serving. Sodium chloride has been replaced with natural sea salt providing 94 mg per serving.

A new ingredient in Peak Endurance, coconut water, is considered nature’s best electrolyte and contributes to the product’s proper balance of all six major electrolytes (sodium, potassium, calcium, phosphorous, magnesium, and chloride). Other sport and energy drinks like Gatorade and Red Bull contain at most two of the six major electrolytes.

When it comes to all-natural energy, Peak Endurance can’t be beat. As consumers turn to quick-fix energy boosts to get them through the day, they fail to consider the drawbacks of caffeine in many of the energy drinks in the marketplace. Peak Endurance is caffeine-free. Naturally low in sugar, it is a healthy energy source with a combination of vitamins and minerals that you won’t find elsewhere.

The next time you need a boost, turn to Peak Endurance.

Director Deborah Niles from Coffeyville, Kansas:

I began taking AIM Peak Endurance® the month after it was introduced. This particular
product provides an additional boost of energy within an hour of consumption. As with all the AIM products, I’ve learned that it’s important to try Peak Endurance at different times of the day to determine what works best. My mainstay, AIM BarleyLife®, I take just before bedtime, but Peak Endurance works best during daylight hours. Generally, I add Peak Endurance to a fruit-filled protein smoothie for an additional energy kick and health benefit. I’ve been using AIM products for over fifteen years and remain strong, healthy, and active at age fifty-eight! I’m thankful to share this testimony with other AIM Members—it’s great to feel good!

Member Ben Millikan from Salem, Oregon:

AIM Peak Endurance® is a lifesaver if you are working a high-stress job. I can confidently say Peak Endurance helped me keep my composure, energy, and stamina every single day I was at work. If you get worn out at work, then this is the stuff for you! Thanks, AIM!

All-natural detoxification with Herbal Fiberblend

Posted on by

Every day, your body is subjected to toxins in the air you breathe, the water you drink, and the food you eat. Polluted air, water, or foods (from chemicals and preservatives) are sources of toxins that you may have little or no control over, depending on where you live or work and your nutritional choices.

The symptoms of having too many toxins in your body can include constipation, a lack of energy, digestive problems, aches and pains,
inflammation, and difficulties in trying to lose weight. The longer that toxins stay in your body, the worse your health can get. Detoxification is a necessary step to help reverse the situation.

A simple and effective way to detoxify is to get more dietary fiber. Along with eating fiber-rich foods, AIM Herbal Fiberblend® can supplement your intake with psyllium fiber in combination with herbs to help cleanse your digestive tract, promote regular bowel movements, and remove harmful toxins.

Herbal Fiberblend provides both soluble and insoluble fiber. Insoluble fiber works like an indigestible brush, scrubbing its way through your digestive system and bulking up waste material for elimination. Soluble fiber turns into a gel that acts like a toxin-absorbing sponge. Among its many benefits, soluble fiber feeds healthy bacteria in the gut, helps digested food to move easily through the digestive tract, and can help to lower blood cholesterol and glucose levels.

The positive effects of Herbal Fiberblend experienced by AIM Members have continued for over twenty-two years.

“Herbal Fiberblend has been a must for months now. I can’t stop
referring friends and associates to it. Everyone is all about ‘cleanses’ now, and when I introduce them to Fiberblend, their opinion on the topic really shifts. It’s an amazing detox product that works naturally. You’ll see things coming out of your body that you can’t imagine were ever put in. Get ready to feel lighter, cleaner, and probably even lose three to five pounds in the first few days. I also recommend it for maintenance.”

- Chris Byrnes, Preferred Member, Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin

“Herbal Fiberblend is by far the best product out there for a colon cleanse and regularity. I’ve used it for three years now. You cannot go wrong with this product.”

- Tim Crowe, AIM Member, Granbury, Texas

Naturally cleanse your lymphatic system

Posted on by

Despite being a major component of our immune health, the lymphatic system often goes unnoticed. Not too many people know what it is or how it works, much less how important it can be for living well.

The lymphatic system, at its most basic, is a drainage network. Organs like the spleen and thymus along with the lymph nodes and lymph ducts serve as drains inside the body that keep fluid levels in balance and defend against infections. Just as the circulatory system provides the cells with nutrients, the lymphatic system removes waste products and toxins from the cells in fluid known as lymph. Cleansing occurs at the lymphocytes, where white blood cells cleanse the waste and toxins from the lymph. Lymph fluid continually washes over the white blood cell to remove toxins, bacteria, and viruses from the lymph.

In this way, the system is important for preventive health care.

The grand scope of the lymph system—the body has twice as much lymph fluid as blood, the lymph vessels are so vast as to serve almost every cell in the body—also speaks to its importance. The buildup of toxins, and wastes in the lymphocytes should be cleansed to maintain function. Without the proper function of the lymph organs, lymph nodes, and lymphocytes, the body will fail. So much relies on this vital system.

To support the lymphatic system, cleansing with AIM Herbal Release® is essential to proper lymphatic function. The ten cleansing herbs and one extract in Herbal Release work together synergistically to cleanse the lymphatic system and help the body properly detoxify.

And now Herbal Release works better than ever.

Improved potency and efficacy allow for the convenience of only one to two capsules per day instead of the two to four capsules. The natural ingredients now include barberry root, buckthorn bark, cascara sagrada, chickweed leaves, dandelion root, Echinacea extract, gotu kola, kelp, licorice root, parsley leaves, and arsaparilla root. (Canada has its own unique Herbal Release formula, which has a natural product number [NPN 80031729] indicating its approval by Health Canada).

In addition, a delayed release capsule is unique to the formula. With this new natural vegetarian capsule, Herbal Release can mimic the delayed breakdown of the old Herbal Release caplet that many users claimed was more effective. By delaying the release of the capsule, the absorption of the herbs does not occur until the capsule has traveled further through the digestive tract. This delayed release provides a significant improvement in potency and efficacy.

Reformulated Herbal Release is now available for ordering. Consider trying it for yourself to experience a difference you can feel.

Cranberry supplementation for urinary tract health

Posted on by

With over 150 million worldwide incidences yearly, urinary tract infections (UTIs) are an increasingly serious health problem. Women are the primary target; however, the risk of infection for both men and women increases with age. Canadian Members can now receive the benefits of AIM CranVerry®+ in helping to prevent urinary tract infections.

Things are a little different north of America. Whenever a new natural health product is introduced by The AIM Companies™, AIM Canada™ must submit a product license application to Health Canada for approval by the Natural Health Products Directorate. This takes time, money, and patience, along with formulaic adjustments if necessary. So CranVerry+ has distinct differences in Canada (as do its citizens) while being the same in terms of its powerful, main ingredient, CranMax®—made from 100 percent cranberry fruit solids.

Found in both the American and Canadian formula, Cran-Max® has been clinically proven to be effective in the treatment of urinary tract infections (UTI’s) due to the unique proanthocyanidins (PACs) in cranberries. Unlike those found in a variety of fruits, cranberry PACs have the unique ability to prevent bacteria from sticking to the walls of the urinary tract, allowing such pathogens to be easily eliminated through urination. In a Canadian study, incidences of urinary tract infections in test subjects taking Cran-Max® were reduced 44 percent compared to those given a placebo. PACs are also antioxidants, which mean that cranberries are doubly effective by protecting other areas of the body from disease.

Mangosteen fruit and rind concentrate are a part of the CranVerry+ formula in both countries. To make one pound of this concentrate, it takes twenty pounds of mangosteens for a 20:1 concentration per capsule. The rind of this exotic fruit contains plant phenols called xanthones, which have antibacterial properties to further protect against urinary tract infections.

The Canadian formula also contains juniper fruit extract. Juniper has been traditionally used in herbal medicine as a urinary tract antiseptic to help relieve UTIs by increasing the flow of urine and helping to flush out bacteria.

AIM is renowned for its synergistic ingredient combinations that add to the benefits of the main product ingredient, and CranVerry+ is no exception, no matter which side of the United States–Canada border.

Vegetarian, all-natural vitamin D made possible

Posted on by

Getting enough vitamin D in your diet is difficult because few foods naturally contain the sunshine vitamin. Getting enough vitamin D from healthy supplementation is another challenge since many vitamin D3 supplements on the market today are made from animal-sourced lanolin.

AIM Veggie D™ solves both problems.

Each serving of AIM’s newest whole-food concentrate contains 500 IU of vitamin D2 derived naturally from shiitake and button mushrooms. AIM’s vitamin D is vegan, all-natural, and healthy, and it is an effective way to get the daily recommended intake of vitamin D.

Grown in the wild, mushrooms naturally contain high amounts of vitamin D when exposed to sunlight. Commercial mushrooms grown indoors with no light exposure do not produce a significant amount of vitamin D. AIM’s mushrooms undergo a new method of processing in which they are exposed to UVB light, which allows their natural ergosterol to convert to vitamin D2 (ergocalciferol) with no negative effects or nutrient loss. The mushrooms are picked, washed, and sliced and then placed on a conveyor belt that moves them beneath a UVB light source — the longer the exposure, the more vitamin D. Our mushrooms grown indoors now rival the D content of the outdoor variety.

Some may contend that the benefits of going vegan with vitamin D2 are outweighed by the fact that D2 simply is not as effective as the more common vitamin D3. However, research at Boston University School of Medicine found that both D2 and D3 increase bone mineral density and bone volume “with no significant difference” between the two. Other studies confirm that D2 raises the blood serum levels of vitamin D just as well as D3 does.

When choosing a vitamin D supplement, rest assured that vitamin D2 will get the job done by providing the necessary IUs and raising D levels. The benefit is the same, and the vegan source is healthy. Give vitamin D2 a try with Veggie D’s savory garden blend.

I recently started using AIM products, including Veggie D. I am sixty-nine years old and have been known to walk eight hours in a day. An accident last year severely impacted my walking and energy levels. After the accident, I slowed down for the first three months, but I am happy to say that I am back walking as a result of AIM products. They are my groceries.

I used to be addicted to Pepsi and now it is AIM juices. The taste is unbelievably great. I’m telling all my friends.
