How digestive enzymes can help with holiday feasts

Posted on by

As the end of 2012 draws near and finishes off with a season known for a variety of traditional feasts, it’s a good time to consider enzymatic back-up for both improved digestion and overall health. AIM PrepZymes® offers a combination of cultured enzymes, papaya fruit, and alpine wild garlic that helps you digest the food you eat and replenish your body’s supply of enzymes.

Whether eating cheese-laden foods fried or baked in oil during Hanukkah, enjoying the caloric intake of a Christmas dinner, or feasting on southern-inspired and African-influenced dishes for Kwanzaa, PrepZymes can rescue your digestive tract.

Along with digesting food, your body keeps you alive by undergoing an infinite number of chemical reactions. Enzymes make them possible. In fact, the human body has approximately 75,000 enzymes that it depends on to function optimally. However, as we age, our bodies produce fewer enzymes, so it makes sense to make a lifetime habit out of eating fresh foods that contain active enzymes. Supplementing with PrepZymes makes up the difference in making certain that your body is never lacking in enzymes, no matter what the season.

So enjoy the feasts of this season. It’s all part of a wonderful life. And to make things easier on your body now and in the future, take PrepZymes.

During a trip to China, I was the only one taking PrepZymes—five
capsules, three times a day. I was also the only person who did not get sick. My husband, Ken, had a terrible headache and congestion on the day we visited the Great Wall. I gave him PrepZymes drinks made with eight capsules—three times that day. He slept like a baby that night and awoke the next morning without any cold symptoms. Along with being an aid to digestion, PrepZymes contributes to overall good health.

- Lanny Donald, Chairman’s Club Director, Surrey, British Columbia

How thankful I am for PrepZymes. For several years, I have had digestive problems. I’ve taken different things for my constant discomfort and have been to the doctor, but nothing seemed to help. I even had bouts of diarrhea, especially after breakfast. When I took PrepZymes, nearly all of my digestive problems disappeared, almost instantly. I am so thankful for this and other AIM products for as I grow older, I still live a healthy life.

“Several years ago I had acid reflux very bad and a hiatal hernia. The doctor wanted me to take Prevacid (drug that reduces stomach-acid production). I had just started using the AIM products. I had read about PrepZymes, and with prayer and PrepZymes it seemed to get better. Two years later I went back for the gastrointestinal test, and “Wow!” no sign of the hernia, and the acid was under control. The doctor had asked me to bring my medicines, so I showed him my PrepZymes. He looked at the PrepZymes and said, “This is a good product, but it wouldn’t take away a hiatal hernia.” I told him that’s all I’ve taken, and if you can’t explain it, I can’t either, but I’ll keep taking my PrepZymes. And I have.

“By the way, I’ve also noticed if I ever get an upset stomach or nauseous feeling, I can take a PrepZymes, and it’s just gone.”

 

AIM PrepZymes® Supplemental Enzymes for Good Health

Posted on by

 

Enzymes are proteins that behave like a workforce, making it all happen inside the body down to the cellular level. Thousands of enzymes are present within individual cells and body systems, and each one has a function. Your body requires specific enzymes to digest food, transport nutrients, balance cholesterol and triglycerides, clean out toxins, strengthen your immune system, and so many other functions. In other words, enzymes act as the catalysts for all biochemical reactions in your body, so you need to maintain a strong workforce.

Your body naturally produces enzymes, and they are also present in food. However, cooking food deactivates most of its enzymes. If you eat processed foods, you might not have enough workers to thoroughly digest the bulk of this modern diet. Without enough food enzymes, your body draws on its other enzymes to help with digestion, compromising other body systems, such as your immune system. When food is not properly digested, it can lead to a buildup of waste that remains in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, where toxins are released and can have a negative impact on your overall health.

 Additionally, your enzymatic workforce is downsized as you age. With fewer enzymes being produced by your body, food digestion can take a longer time, and as a result, you may not get all of the available nutrients. For digestion and the multitude of other bodily functions that require enzymes, AIM Prepzymes® can supplement the enzymes in your body and food to help maintain this vital workforce.

Digestive Enzymes

Your digestive system begins in your mouth. When you’re hungry and you think about something you’d like to eat, you begin salivating. That’s the enzymes in your saliva preparing to go to work even before you start chewing some food. After you swallow and the food enters the gastric acid in your stomach, digestion continues through more enzymatic activity. But that’s not where it stops. In fact, a vital result of digestion takes place in your small intestine, where, with the help of digestive enzymes released by the pancreas, nutrients are extracted and enter the bloodstream.

PrepZymes provides digestive enzymes that are active in both acidic (stomach) and alkaline (intestine) environments. This means they make it to your stomach to aid digestion, as well as into the intestine, where they help the body absorb vital nutrients from digested food.

 The Breakdown

Food consists of a variety of elements, including protein, sugar, carbohydrates, fat, and fiber. The variety of cultured enzymes inPrepZymes helps to break down these elements so that your food is thoroughly digested, its nutrients are available for use by your body, an waste is eliminated.

The PrepZymes formula also includes alpine wild garlic leaf, which aids in digestion and provides antioxidant properties for repairing metabolic damage, and papaya fruit powder, which helps to digest protein andsoothe your stomach. When you are properly digesting food, you are contributing to the overall health of your body. Let PrepZymes make a healthy contribution.

 

 

 

Women’s Health Feature – Nursing Babies

Posted on by

 

Nursing babies benefit from AIM products, too

Our first son Mason was born August 27, 2008, and at the age of five-and-a-half weeks, he was featured in the March-April 2009 issue of AIM’s Living Well magazine. Mason has been an AIM BarleyLife® baby since conception, and at nineteen months old, he takes BarleyLife about two to three times a day mixed in with food or in water. His favorite is one-half teaspoon of BarleyLife and one-half teaspoon of AIM Just Carrots®, combined in six ounces of water. He eagerly drinks it all down and then does sign language for more. He still loves it!

He has never been sick, never been on antibiotics, and never even visited a medical doctor for more than his “well baby check-ups.” When his teeth came in, which can prove problematic, he never so much as cried. His digestive system is very consistent and regular – unlike that of many children and infants that I have in my chiropractic practice.

Our second son Cooper was born on February 16, 2010, and he came very fast and drug-free into this world. As I am nursing Cooper, he receives BarleyLife Xtra nutrition through the amount that I take daily. I also give him a little dry amount of BarleyLife on my finger. He will start taking BarleyLife when I am no longer nursing him, just as Mason did.

I took Barley­Life, Just Carrots, AIMega®, and AIM Prep­­Zymes®

through­­out my two pregnancies, and both proved asymptomatic. I had more energy while pregnant with our second son, so much so that I continued to swim two kilometers, two to three times a week, up until I was thirty weeks pregnant. During both pregnancies, I had minimal weight gain and my body returned to its pre-pregnancy shape very rapidly. My midwives were surprised at how fast my body healed and recovered.

I credit my healing and recovery to the AIM products.

While pregnant both times, I never had a headache, digestive concerns, or any pain that is commonly associated with pregnancy.

I make chiropractic care and AIM products part of the continued health care regime for my entire family.

Thank you, AIM, for our optimal health offered through the AIM products.

It was a gut feeling

Posted on by

Gut FeelingHippocrates understood the value of good gut health.

“All diseases begin in the gut.” Hippocrates

These are the words of Hippocrates, an ancient Greek physician often referred to as the “father of medicine.” His work with medical standardization helped shape early medicine, and today he is remembered in the eponymous Hippocratic Oath.

He spoke those words in the 300s B.C.

Gut health plays a major role in the overall health of our bodies, and there is a wide assortment of ailments that can be traced back to a faulty system. Irritable bowel syndrome, Crohn’s disease, celiac, and any number of gastrointestinal issues are just a few of the diseases that begin and end in the gut, which is why gut health – as Hippocrates warned – is so important.

AIM’s products can be a valuable part in practicing good gut health. Some of AIM’s most popular products – AIM BarleyLife®, AIM RediBeets®, and AIM Just Carrots®, which make up the AIM Garden Trio® – can do serious good for those in need of intestinal help. By alkalizing the body and helping to detoxify, the whole food formulas of these products make a remarkably effective gut health supplement.

Patricia DowningStar Sapphire Director Patricia Downing of Fort Lauderdale, Florida, had a Member in her downline put AIM products to work when he was having gut trouble. The Member wishes to remain anonymous.

This Member’s story is no different than that of many others who have discovered just how important taking care of one’s gut can be. The Garden Trio has helped many people get back on track to feeling good and living well, but it is far from the only AIMproduct that is designed with the gut in mind. Here are some others:

AIM Para 90®: An antiparasitic and intestinal cleanser that combines 16 cleansing herbs.

AIM FloraFood®: A probiotic formula that provides intestinal flora to maintain digestive and intestinal health and enhance the immune system.

AIM PrepZymes®: A digestive enzyme supplement that aids in digestion and improves utilization of food nutrients.

The wide variety of AIM products for gut health speaks to the importance of keeping the body’s intestines in optimal condition. Hippocrates began spreading the word more than 2,000 years ago, and AIM products are carrying on that message today.

“As a 56-year-old male, God has blessed me with good health. I eat basically organic foods and exercise regularly, participating in events like 100-mile bike races. However, all that began to change about one year ago.

“I’ve been working as a flight attendant for 30 years in the airlines. For no apparent reason, I would have sporadic bouts with a burning sensation in my stomach. After multiple doctor visits and exams, both inside and out, the best diagnosis was a mild case of gastritis. The pain continued, and I was desperate.

“I crossed paths with my old friend, Patricia, who is an AIM distributor. She told me about the Garden Trio. I promptly placed a call to the AIM office in Nampa, Idaho, where I placed my first order. I’m happy to report that the burning in my stomach has stopped 95 to 98 percent of the time, and I lost 3 inches off my waist and have dropped some 7 pounds.

“Today my routine is to take the Garden Trio upon awakening, followed by AIM Herbal Fiberblend®. When I go on my trips, I always take the powders with me. I want to thank Patricia and AIM for making such a profound change in my life”

Battle with IBS

Posted on by

IBSIf you are affected by irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), you are not alone. You are one of 60 million fellow sufferers.

Though its prevalence goes largely unnoticed, IBS affects as many as one in five Americans and up to a quarter of the world’s population. Symptoms range from discomfort and distress to bloating, constipation, and diarrhea. It is not a fun problem to deal with.

Since 1997, April has been designated as IBS Awareness Month, in part to help spread the word about IBS and end the condition’s relative anonymity. The publicity seems to be working. It is now one of the most common disorders diagnosed by doctors, with as many as 20 percent of Americans suffering from some symptoms of the syndrome. Once diagnosed, there are treatments and lifestyle changes available to diminish the effects of IBS, but awareness is the first step.

Amy HoustonAmy Houston, a Director from Epping, New Hampshire, was one of those people who didn’t know what was wrong with her until she was diagnosed with IBS. Fortunately for her, AIM products were there to help when she needed it.

“The number one product that has made a huge difference for me over the years is AIM Herbal Fiberblend®. I was diagnosed with IBS after never understanding what was wrong with me. After starting on Herbal Fiberblend about nine years ago, I started noticing that my more serious symptoms were going away. I used to have sharp chest pains that I now know were directly linked to my digestive problems. I no longer have those pains. I switch between the cleansing method and maintenance. I like to tell people to start with a small amount and gradually increase the serving size over a couple of weeks. I then recommend that they use it twice per day for three months then maintain on once per day.”

“I recommend adding it to juice or a smoothie. I can make the best tasting chocolate raspberry Herbal Fiberblend smoothie. This is a common treat for me. Yes, I can turn Herbal Fiberblend into dessert! I like the convenient packets for keeping with me. I simply add one to juice. The key is to drink extra water just before or after each serving.

“Herbal Fiberblend is the only product that I will pay to advertise. I just think that it is the best cleanse on the market and that everyone needs to cleanse. When used properly, it will not disrupt your routine. It is very important to explain how to use it properly. I often refer people to the video ‘Fiber-on-the-Go’ and the audio ‘Cleansing for Health.’
“I would highly recommend AIM PrepZymes® as well. I keep a bottle in my purse so I will always have it with me at each meal.”

Most of problems for IBS sufferers begin with the colon. Though researchers have yet to discover the main cause of IBS, they believe that abnormalities in the gastrointestinal tract are at least partially to blame. Herbal Fiberblend steps in to help by acting as a colon cleanser and ridding the body of toxic substances that have built up over time.

Two other helpful products for those suffering from IBS are PrepZymes and AIM FloraFood®.
The ingredients in PrepZymes provide a means of replacing or reinforcing the naturally occurring enzymes of the body to help meet the digestive needs of an Americanized diet high in processed foods. PrepZymes contains a number of enzymes including protease, amylase, lipase, cellulose, lactase, sucrase, and maltase. In addition to these, PrepZymes also contains papaya fruit, and wild garlic.

Researchers have found that diet can play a part in exacerbating IBS disease for some patients, especially a diet that is not full of healthy fruits and vegetables. It is these types of diets that PrepZymes was built to combat. For IBS sufferers, this is great news, because the enzyme help in PrepZymes can provide the extra boost needed to get the digestive tract back on the road to health. A healthy enzyme process can ease a lot of discomfort.

The other AIM product for IBS sufferers to consider is FloraFood. This product, too, focuses on helping the body’s digestion process, but instead of doing the job with enzymes, FloraFood attacks the problem with intestinal flora – the “good” bacteria of the digestive tract.

Trillions of bacteria make their home in the digestive tract. Some bacteria are good, but unfortunately some are bad. And it is not uncommon for digestive tracts overrun with bad bacteria to result in symptoms of IBS.

FloraFood provides relief by giving the body extra good bacteria in the form of Lactobacillus acidophilus, Bifidobacterium bifidum, and Bifidobacterium longum. These forms of good bacteria help balance out the bad bacteria in the digestive tract by improving the intestinal environment, enhancing the immune system, and inhibiting harmful bacteria and enzymes.

Toni EvansToni Evans, a Director from Delaware, Ohio, knows the bacteria battle better than most, and she can testify to the benefits of a product like FloraFood.

I have been a Director for AIM for a number of years and have seen many benefits from the use of the products. A number of years ago I had a rare form of bacteria that went undetected by doctors and was treated with long-term antibiotic therapy. As a result of that therapy, I acquired Candida (yeast infection). After using drugs prescribed by my doctor that didn’t really work and had a lot of side effects, I turned to FloraFood. When I started taking the product I had Candida so bad that three of my fingers were infected and literally oozing pus and thumping so badly I was considering going to the emergency room. After taking massive doses of FloraFood (three capsules two times a day), I have been symptom free. My tongue still has a white coating since I am not willing to follow the strict diet, but thanks to FloraFood, I live symptom free.

“My son has Lyme disease and is taking FloraFood because he is on heavy antibiotic therapy, and it has been a great help. I also have a friend who is a quadriplegic and constantly had yeast growing where his fatwould overlap due to his inability to move. I suggested a regimen of FloraFood, and he no longer suffers from yeast problems. This is truly a remarkable product, and I thank God every day that it came into my life.AIM Products

Talk about endurance …

Army chaplain’s physical fitness score improves

Once a month it is there. Each month, every month. It is part of Army life at Fort Drum, New York, the Army’s primary cold-weather training facility. The physical fitness test – a 2-mile run, push-ups, and sit-ups. There is a possible 300 points. The higher the score, the better the performance.

For Major Gregory Distad, a chaplain in the Army and the son of AIM Members Herbert and Verna Distad of Brownstown, Pennsylvania, the monthly test is not something he worries about failing but he is competitive and wants to do as well as he can. Such is life in a top-notch infantry brigade. He is now 51. You would not expect his score to improve much month-to-month. Gregory has been an AIM product consumer for years. AIM BarleyLife® is the base of his AIM regimen but he also uses AIM Just Carrots®, AIM RediBeets®, AIM Herbal Fiberblend®, AIM ReAssure®, AIM GinkgoSense™, and AIM PrepZymes®. He is especially fond of AIM BarleyLife® for its nutrient value and of AIM Herbal Fiberblend® for its cleansing properties. 
But this month was different. He had been taking a new product from AIM, AIM Peak Endurance®. He read the literature and its ingredients made sense to him – ATP is the primary energy source for the cells and the body’s ability to produce ATP is lost through age, stress, and exercise; six B vitamins to derive energy from carbohydrates, build muscle, and to aid in metabolism; vitamin C, the all-important metabolic vitamin; five electrolytes – calcium, sodium, magnesium, chloride, and potassium – to help conduct electrical currents in the body; and phosphorous to aid in the growth and repair of body tissue. All this good stuff, naturally grape-flavored with only a single gram of sugar. Clearly, a smorgasbord of quality ingredients. But the proof is in the results. How would he do now that he was taking AIM Peak Endurance®?

Well, he knocked more than a minute off his previous 2-mile run time. He did well with the push-ups and the sit-ups. He scored 300 points out of a possible 300. “I have to believe that the AIM Peak Endurance® provided me with the fuel to perform better during the physical training program,” he says.

He adds that he feels AIM Peak Endurance®, as with all AIM products, “works best when taken in combination. There is a synergistic effect.” His view is in harmony with the advice offered by AIM: AIM BarleyLife® is the fuel your body needs, AIM Peak Endurance® is the spark to ignite the fuel.

Gregory and wife Elaine have four children – Tyler, 19; Charity, 16; Adam, 13; and Ashley, 9. He holds bachelor’s and master’s degrees in Divinity from Bob Jones University and he is a certified financial planner. He chose the military “to have the opportunity to minister as a chaplain and to financially provide for my family.” As an Army chaplain, “my main mission is to engage in conversation about the need for a savior.” He is committed to the words of Mark 8:36. “For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world and lose his own soul?”

Gregory views his stay on Earth as an opportunity to be a “good steward of my time, talents, and treasure. A steward doesn’t own anything, but he is a manager,” adding that “our body is part of that stewardship, and we need to do our best to take care of it …” To that end, Gregory says, “I believe the AIM products provide vital nutrients that help build a base for health and personal well-being. I feel more energetic and alert when I use the AIM products.” 

Hip, hip, hooray for AIM products, $mart$tart

Posted on by

The highway of good ideas is littered with failures, setbacks, roadblocks, obstacles … lots of reasons to call it quits. Sometimes an idea works, sometimes it doesn’t.

When The AIM Companies™ introduced the $mart$tart™ program to our Members this summer, we knew it would put money into their hands quickly. Sponsor someone who makes a purchase and you receive a 20 percent bonus on the total BVP amount plus any commission you are entitled to based on your standing in the AIM Opportunity Compensation Plan. Pretty simple.

That silver lining of an idea has reminded us of what the company, its products, and its compensation plan are all about – this is a company grounded in people helping people, products helping people. It is about health, it can be about wealth.

Meet Jokelee Vanderkop, AIM Director
Jokelee joined the AIM family in March of this year. Five months later she became a Director. “Without trying to climb the AIM Opportunity Compensation Plan, I did,” says Jokelee. “I made Director without any intention of doing so.” She purchased AIM products for her own health, shared her testimony and results with friends, and they, too, became Members and began purchasing AIM products.

Jokeless Vanderkop Jokelee, a former secondary school teacher, of Palmerston, Ontario, Canada, has been diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s follicular lymphoma. Says Jokelee: “This cancer is considered to be incurable. The tumors spread and grew rapidly. I was told I had a bulk cancer with tumors in the neck, chest, abdomen, and through the stomach.” After a lengthy course of chemotherapy, some of the tumors had shrunk but one was growing, meaning either a new form of cancer or a more aggressive lymphoma was at work. During her chemotherapy, she was taking AIM BarleyLife®, which “helped to reduce the chemo effects enormously.” But when she heard the chemo had not eliminated the tumors and one, in fact, was growing, she began using mega-servings of AIM products including AIM BarleyLife®, AIM Just Carrots®, AIM RediBeets®, AIM Herbal Fiberblend®, and AIM PrepZymes®.
The problem was, her need and use of the products outstripped her ability to pay for them.

Ron Weber and Mary WeberMeet Ron and Mary Weber, AIM Star Sapphire Directors
Jokelee visited with them at a health and wellness fair in Palmerston. While she was a user of AIM BarleyLife®, she wasn’t a Member. Ron and Mary convinced her to join AIM. Mary recalls: “I shared with her the AIM Opportunity Compensation Plan and that by ordering product and sharing it with others, she could get a rebate check back when she became a Preferred Member, which would help pay for her products. She started to share her amazing story with others.” Her amazing story is, well, amazing! Jokelee took large servings of the AIM products for nearly three months then went back in for a CAT scan. “All my tumors had shrunk and a relatively new one in my left groin had disappeared. Taking the products, I had at best hoped that the tumors would at least not grow and, at worst, only a little before the next scan.”

Still, all those products at elevated servings are costly. This summer, when AIM debuted the $mart$tart™ program, the Webers saw the opportunity for Jokelee to benefit. Mary explains: “I encouraged Jokelee to use $mart$tart™. I encouraged her to talk to her friends and when they became Members she would get 20 percent of their BVP in a check as a thank you from AIM. She signed up six new Members and got $200 above her other earnings. She was stunned and shocked.”

Jokelee says she became an AIM Member “as a cost effective way for me to buy AIM products.” Then, she adds, “it took on a life of its own. Seeing how this ‘stuff’ helped me, friends asked to buy some. They told other people and then people I didn’t know well, but who knew of me and of my cancer, were amazed at how well I looked. I would tell them what I was doing and many wanted to try AIM products for themselves and they knew of people who could benefit from it. Before I knew it, the product I had ordered for myself was disappearing and I needed to order more.”
As she sponsored new Members into AIM, her monthly check increased and, once $mart$tart™ was in place, she began receiving even more income. It all begins, she says, with products that work. When they work, people buy more and it is an easy step to sponsor them as Members.

Jokelee’s story is typical of many in AIM. She tried traditional medicine and didn’t get the results she hoped for. She sought another option and met the Webers. They showed her a means to use all the product she wished and a way to pay for it – the AIM compensation plan and the $mart$tart™ program. The Webers are part of a family tree common to AIM. They helped Jokelee, someone helped them.

Meet Edna and Hilton Smith, Chairman’s Club Directors
The Smiths met the Webers in the spring of 1994 at a health fair in Toronto. Mary Weber had been an occasional user of AIM’s green barley powder but stopped using it after she quit nursing her youngest daughter. “No one explained the benefits of continuing to take it,” she explains. While at the health fair, she noticed an AIM booth and asked husband Ron to check it out. By the time she joined him, he had signed up as a Member. “The lady at the booth was Edna Smith,” says Mary. As for the Smiths, that chance meeting has turned into much more. “We have become great friends with Ron and Mary,” says Edna.

Edna Smith and Hilton Smith Edna praises the Webers for working with Jokelee. “She is very blessed to have Mary and Ron as her sponsors. They have not only encouraged her in healthy choices so that she has regained her health but Mary took the time to show her how she could earn income to pay for the product use. This is where the $mart$tart™ bonus played such a big part. Jokelee could not have earned this much money so quickly. She ‘caught the fire’ of what Mary explained to her. How she would be rewarded for helping others with the wonderful benefits of the AIM products.”

The Smiths believe that Jokelee should be a business model for new AIM Members. “Take three consecutive months and get to Director status. Forget about the baby steps of Preferred Member, Product Consultant, Group Builder, or Associate Director. If you focus on Director for three months you will automatically make the other promotions.” Plus, add in the income benefit from the $mart$tart™ bonus and “there is a snowball effect when people get excited about the AIM products and the business opportunity.”

The Smiths and Jokelee don’t know each other. Their common bond is AIM and the Webers. It is like that with AIM and multi-level marketing. Uplines, downlines … all in it together. People to people. Product to product. And the best news of all? Jokelee has a chance to regain her health on a lasting basis. And she knows she has a bunch of friends – seen and unseen, known and unknown – to help her along the way.

AIM Prepzymes

Ladies and gentlemen, start your cells

PrepzymesThe human body in its most basic form is simply a collection of cells that join together to make us who we are, what we look like, etc. We are composed of some 10 trillion cells that are divided into about 200 varied types of cells. There are cells for all the various organs.

But cells by themselves do not function fast enough or efficiently enough to sustain life. Enzymes – there are more than 5,000 of them in the body – are necessary to catalyze the cells into action.
Enzymes provide a route of energy that enables a cell to perform its function much more quickly than it could without that spark. Think of the cells of your body like a motor just sitting there waiting to spring into action. Enzymes fire up the cells so they can perform their functions throughout the body.

The 5,000 or so enzymes in the body come and go. They go away as we age, they go away because they are cooked away in food preparation, and in formulating processed foods. Enzymes are especially sensitive to heat levels above 118 degrees Fahrenheit. Pasteurizing, canning, cooking, microwaving – anything producing heat in excess of 118 degrees – kills enzymes. One of the most vital functions of enzymes is to aid in digestion, which is becoming a larger issue in our society because of the dominance of prepared foods that are not as enzyme-rich as they were in their natural state. AIM PrepZymes® fills that void in today’s diet.

AIM PrepZymes® combines cultured enzymes, papaya fruit, and alpine wild garlic to aid in digestion. Lack of proper digestion can result in constipation, hemorrhoids, bloating, gas, fatigue, weight gain, weight loss, and headaches, just to note a few of the possible complications of poor digestion.

•Papaya fruit: This ingredient contains papain, an enzyme that affixes itself to proteins, helps with protein digestion, and has a relaxing effect on the stomach.

•Alpine wild garlic: This part of the AIM PrepZymes® formula has been shown to aid in digestion in addition to providing a level of antioxidant activity for the product.

•Cultured enzymes: These are important because they are cultivated, strained off, and purified so no fungi, bacteria, or yeasts remain. Cultured enzymes replace the naturally occurring enzymes lost in food processing and food preparation. They are also necessary to aid in digestion to overcome modern diets filled with fats, proteins, sugars, dairy products, snack foods, and processed foods.

Carmie JonesCarmie Jones, an AIM Director from South Holland, Illinois, understands the value and function of AIM PrepZymes®. “Whenever I eat cooked food I take 4-6 digestive enzymes, knowing that the enzymes naturally present in the foods were destroyed by heat. I also take a couple with fresh produce since I don’t know how long it sat there in a store or warehouse losing enzymes since it was picked. But I am especially glad to take them when eating cheese. No more migraine headaches triggered by cheese! In addition, I don’t get a stuffy head and thick throat as I do if I don’t take my enzymes. Hooray for AIM PrepZymes®.
