That Pays Off
At AIM, our Members and Customers are at the heart of everything we do. You inspire us, drive our passion, and fuel our mission to make a difference in health and wellness. Your loyalty isn’t just something we appreciate—it’s something we believe deserves to be rewarded.
Nicolas van Rensburg, AIM Chief Operating Officer
AIM rewards the loyalty of AIM Members in several ways. But not everyone wants to be a Member. That’s exactly why we introduced AIM Customer and the Customer Loyalty Rewards Program—a way to give back to those who continue to trust and invest in their health with AIM products. Every time an AIM Customer makes a purchase, they’re not just taking a step toward better health— they’re also earning rewards that bring real value, which in turn benefits AIM Members.
Here’s how Customer Loyalty Rewards work: for every $10 spent, you earn 1 Loyalty Reward. Those rewards add up quickly and can be used for savings on future purchases. Spend $100 on products? That’s 10 Loyalty Rewards—a $10 discount on your next order. And don’t worry about rushing to use them; you have six months to redeem your rewards.
But the benefits don’t stop there. When placing an order of $75 or more, Customers get free standard shipping—every time. No hidden fees, no complicated rules—just simple, valuable savings designed to make your AIM experience even better.
At AIM, we know that health is an investment, and we want to make sure that investment pays off—not just in wellness, but in real rewards. Your dedication to a healthier lifestyle means everything to us, and this is just one of the ways we say thank you.
So, if you haven’t yet explored the benefits of the Customer Loyalty Rewards Program, now’s the time. It’s an opportunity to earn, save, and continue thriving with AIM. After all, loyalty should always come with rewards.
The Apple Side of Fit ’n Fiber
As a dietary supplement, Fit ’n Fiber delivers a number of benefits by increasing fiber intake from oat, psyllium husk, konjac, flax seed, acacia and apple:
• Supports digestive health
• Promotes regular bowel movements
• Supports healthy blood sugar levels
• Helps maintain cardiovascular health
• Promotes a health gut microbiome with prebiotic fiber
What's more, taking Fit ’n Fiber is a healthy nutritional step for anyone trying to lose unwanted pounds (or kilograms), which is why this dietary fiber supplement is also a part of the AIM Weight Loss Pack.
Fit ’n Fiber For Weight Management
Getting sufficient fiber in your diet is a way to satisfy your appetite without taking in a lot of calories that need to be burned off. As for Fit ’n Fiber, one serving adds only 10 calories to your dietary intake. At the same time, drinking these peach-flavored, fiber-filled beverages fills up your stomach with satiating fiber that doesn’t leave you hungry. Consuming nutrientdense, wholesome foods instead of those that are calorierich fits perfectly with Fit ’n Fiber as a healthy way to lose weight.
New Twist on an Apple a Day
The diversity and population of good bacteria in the microbial community varies from individual to individual, particularly in those who are lean and those who are overweight.
Similarly, research continues to confirm the impact that dietary intake has on influencing the balance of gut microbes, right down to specific types of fiber.
As one of the ingredients in Fit ’n Fiber, apple fiber may be particularly beneficial for reshaping the microbial community in people who struggle with being overweight, as shown in a comparative study published in the journal, Microbiome (November 2024).
Fit ’n Fiber
6343E, $40.00 M, $43.00 C (CAN 6430E, $42.00 M, $45.50 C)
The researchers used a bioreactor to simulate the digestion of apple, apple pectin and cellulose by different microbial communities. These scientists noted that apple fibers not only improved the makeup of the obese community of microbes, they increased the production of beneficial metabolites. These results suggest that dietary apple fibers can help modify gut bacteria composition and improve metabolic health.
Such research emphasizes how Fit ’n Fiber contributes to healthy weight management with beneficial fiber ingredients such as apple.

Our Power, Our Planet
Earth Day
Tuesday, April 22
Each April 22 that Earth Day is acknowledged and celebrated, the organization that inspired this event introduces an appropriate theme. For 2025, the focus is on renewable energy, suitably titled “Our Power, Our Planet.” It’s a subject that holds universal appeal: affordable energy.
The cost of energy is something that the majority of people on the planet can relate to, given the amount of money it regularly takes from their wallets. The prices of gas, heating and electricity tend to increase annually even though annual incomes usually do not match increased costs for these forms of energy.
On a planetary scale, the cost of producing energy through the use of fossil fuels creates global health costs from the side effects of environmental damage and pollution. The world’s population has increased since the first Earth Day back in 1970, and so has the amount of pollution.
Swinging the pendulum in the direction of renewable energy sources means using clean sources from the sun, water, wind, even waste, all of which are available in abundance. The technology used to harness their energy-producing benefits continues to improve and become more cost-effective.
Clean energy means less planetary pollution. That’s something that everyone on Earth would benefit from and most would agree as being a healthy direction to take. As a result, the concept behind Our Power, Our Planet is possibly one of the most unifying Earth Days to date.
If each human body is equated to an individual planet, it’s a healthy cell concept to produce energy without polluting toxins by consuming whole foods and supplementing with AIM nutrition.

The Exercise Habit
Let’s be honest, it’s so easy to develop bad habits that are not good for the body. Then again, it can be just as easy to be habitual about something that nurtures well-being, even exercise. Like any habit, it may require some motivation to get started, but an exercise routine can become something you look forward to on a regular basis.
The good thing about an exercise habit is that it really does your body good. The more you do, the healthier it is for you, not only for your physical condition but your mental state as well.
What’s more, there is a seemingly endless variety of movement you have to choose from for a workout that benefits your body systems, including the cardiovascular, immune and musculoskeletal. Exercise choices include cycling, running, swimming, walking, participating in fitness classes and playing tennis or pickleball.
Remember, it isn’t about what others say is the best exercise. It’s about finding something that suits your physicality so that exercise becomes habitual and hopefully fun.
NEAT Habits
There are also health benefits simply through other forms of regular physical movement that do not fall under the category of exercise. Doing household chores, cooking meals, gardening, shopping for groceries or using stairs instead of an elevator are examples of movement that is really NEAT: NonExercise Activity Thermogenesis. Such actions make you use your body and its energy, so you improve your performance, burn off calories and promote efficient body functioning.
Environment can have a huge influence on the amount of NEAT you experience. For example, people living in agricultural communities experience this expenditure of energy regularly.
For those who are not physically active but want to be, NEAT activities are an ideal way to ease into the exercise habit. It’s worth the initial effort in the long run.
The Power of Good Nutrition
Shared by Helena Venter, AIM Preferred Member in Polokwane, South Africa
In July 2023, my life changed in a big way when I joined AIM, thanks to a close friend and mentor who introduced me to AIM nutrition after I shared several health concerns. As a result of physical issues that included chronic pain, I felt exhausted, unproductive and frustrated.
I was desperate for a long-term solution that went beyond just managing my symptoms. My goal was to find natural remedies that would help my body repair itself and to support our family’s overall health and quality of life.
My mentor extended an invitation for me to join a support group exploring the connection between nutrition and wellness. This group was instrumental in my journey, providing valuable insights and guidance. I listened intently, learned diligently and carefully considered my options.
I discovered that good nutrition was the key to unlocking my body's full potential. I prioritized AIM nutrition, and it's been a game changer. I haven't looked back since.
My favorite AIM products that have become an integral part of my daily routine include the Garden Trio (BarleyLife, Just Carrots and RediBeets), GlucoChrom, Frame Essentials, Mag-nificence CWR and Renewed Balance (available in U.S only).
I'm excited to share the remarkable health improvements I've experienced: increased energy, reduced pain, and enhanced mental clarity. My 88-year-old mom has also experienced incredible results, particularly from taking BarleyLife Xtra and Peak Endurance.
In April 2024, a health check-up showed that I was on a much healthier path. This was a testament to my improved health and a source of pure joy.
At 64, I feel more energetic and vibrant than ever. I'm grateful for this newfound vitality and overall wellness, and I'm excited to see what the future holds.

The Garden Trio
As plant-based nutrition that works, the Garden Trio of whole-food powders has been making a healthy difference in the lives of so many people of all ages for so many years. Some questions about usage are answered in the following Q&A:
Q: How should I mix the Garden Trio powders?
A: Many Customers and Members mix the Garden Trio powders with cold water or their favorite juice or drink each one separately. It all depends on individual preferences. Feel free to experiment but avoid using heated liquids that would destroy active enzymes.
Q: Can these powders be taken with other AIM products?
A: Yes, they can be enjoyed with other AIM products, but take Herbal Fiberblend one hour before or 30 minutes after taking the Garden Trio for the best absorption of nutrients and phytonutrients.
Q: I just started taking the Garden Trio, so why do I feel worse?
A: Making a change in your diet by taking these concentrated whole-food powders can effect an inner cleansing of your body. However, this healthy process of detoxification can result in headaches, fatigue, rashes, etc. For new users, taking smaller amounts of the powders and gradually increasing to the recommended servings is advised. For more information, see AIM’s Detoxification datasheet.
Q: Can I take more than the recommended servings?
A: Each person has different nutritional needs that should be assessed on an individual basis.
Q: Why should I take the Garden Trio if I already eat beets and carrots?
A: Firstly, AIM consistently stresses the importance of eating a variety of plant-based foods for whole-body health. Secondly, the juice powders of beets and carrots as well as barley leaves are a convenient way to get their health benefits daily. Thirdly, vegetables grown in nutrient-depleted soil is a factor that reduces their nutritional richness. With sources of barley, beets and carrots grown in nutrient-rich soil, the Garden Trio can help offset nutritional deficiencies.
Q: I live in a place with high humidity, so how should I store the Garden Trio?
A: The Garden Trio powders can be kept in a freezer equipped with a dehumidifier. Storing the Garden Trio only in the freezer compartment of a refrigerator will prevent humidity-related clumping while preserving the nutrients and phytonutrients. When you are ready to make a Garden Trio beverage, take the canisters out of the freezer and shake them well before opening.
Taxing Situations
There are times in life when stress and worry can make you lose sleep and feel sick. It can go on for quite awhile until there’s a resolution. Sometimes, there is no solution except to cope with stress as best as you can, to prevent it from affecting your health.
Taxing situations can arise with varying levels of stress. Having to do taxes, for example. Actually, the word “tax” can mean “to put a strain on,” and paying taxes can certainly put a strain on your finances. Of course, there are far worse stressful circumstances that have a beginning, maybe a middle but no end in sight. During those taxing situations, whatever help you can get can be extremely welcome.
AIM Relief for Taxing Situations
Product selections in the AIM lineup that can help to reduce stress and increase relaxation include two dietary supplements and a topical application: Composure, GinkgoSense and Mag-nificence CWR. Each has its own attributes and formulation for effective results.
Get Calm with Composure
The calming combination of herbal ingredients in Composure work synergistically to help promote relaxation. This natural health product can be taken any time during the day to relieve stress. Before bedtime, Composure can help you relax into a good night’s sleep.
Cope Better with GinkgoSense
Sometimes you simply have to adapt to stress, and the GinkgoSense formulation includes two botanical ingredients that can help. Ashwagandha and curcumin are herbs that can reduce levels of cortisol, a hormone the body releases in excessive amounts when under stress.
Soak in Relaxing Mag-nificence CWR
Magnesium is often referred to as the relaxation mineral, and Mag-nificence CWR is relaxation in a bottle. Using CWR’s magnesium-rich additive for bathwater or applying it directly to skin is a topical way of increasing magnesium intake and its relaxing effect.
AIM Business Benefits
Being an AIM independent distributor is a business model that harnesses the power of relationships to build a team and grow together. With AIM, the relationships focus on health improvement and maintenance along with shared prosperity, which are as fine as any motivations to be in business. Most importantly, having a purpose that goes beyond oneself is the greatest strategy for success.
For anyone considering the option of being a Member, the benefits of starting your own AIM business include the following:
Starting Small … If you like, begin this experience as a hobby, learning and becoming more serious as you grow in knowledge.
Low Start-Up Costs … AIM warehouses the products and ships them to anyone who purchases them from you, so you do not have to stock up on inventory.
Flexible Freedom … The great advantage of running a home-based business is that you get to set your own schedule.
Life and Work … You can prioritize the things that matter to you most so that you can balance your personal and professional goals.
Personal Growth … By furthering your communication and leadership skills, your AIM journey leads to self-improvement while helping others.
Passive Income … It takes time to grow your business, but you can eventually enjoy a stream of revenue from all of your effort.
The AIM Family … You are not alone in this venture. It begins with your sponsor and continues with being a welcome Member of the AIM Family.

Why AIM: 43 Years Into the Future
The date in time that marks the very first day that AIM officially became a company is April 8, 1982. Forty-three years later in this April 2025 issue of Living Well magazine is the latest installment in the “Why AIM” series to commemorate this anniversary.
Past articles in this Living Well magazine series have touched on this longevity factor. It’s one of the many reasons why AIM is an excellent choice when it comes to using natural health products and having the Member option for a home-based business that promotes the AIM lineup.
There’s power in longevity. It reflects a sustainable business that will thrive for years to come, not only for The AIM Companies but for business-building Members who are its foundation for success. Members have been there since April 1982, ensuring long-term growth for the entire AIM Family.
A lot has changed since day one. Over the past 43 years, the AIM Family has rolled through the changes. These transformations include the entire rebranding of the AIM lineup that began in 2019 with a new logo and continued with new labelling into the first year of a pandemic. Even so, it was a time through which AIM thrived even with the monumental adjustments happening around the world.
Businesses have to adapt and be innovated in response to changes to achieve longevity and maintain customer loyalty. This applies to AIM as a company and to AIM independent distributors, sailing the seas of an ever-changing marketplace to achieve success together with team spirit.
Digestive Support for the Second Brain
You know the feeling you get in your stomach when you are worried about something or under a lot of stress? Well, there’s a line of thought that the gut is the location of a second brain called the enteric nervous system. It has a bidirectional connection to the main brain, which may explain those gut feelings during trying times.¹
Two primary types of cells, glia and neurons line the wall of the gut that make up the enteric nervous system. It controls the gastrointestinal tract’s digestive and defensive (immune) functions as well as blood flow, nutrient handling and waste elimination.²
Communication between the enteric nervous system and the brain regulates homeostasis—balance in all body systems. What you consume affects homeostasis, making a dietary intake of wholesome nutrition so important. Digesting whole foods healthily fuels the entire body and provides nutritional elements that alleviate oxidative
AIM offers supplemental nutrition that supports the second brain with nutrients, phytonutrients, probiotics and bioactive compounds that target digestive health.
Fit ’n Fiber
A dietary supplement that increases fiber intake, particularly prebiotic fiber that feeds good bacteria that maintain a healthy gut.
Probiotics that repopulate the gut with Lactobacillus
gasseri, Bifidobacterium bifidum and Bifidobacterium longum, essential good bacteria for a healthy microbiome.
