AIM Ingredients for Weight Loss
New Year’s resolutions will soon be on people’s minds as 2024 winds down to the eve of December 31. This healthy tradition of resolving to make changes and be better in the future has often included resolutions to lose weight and get fit. These goals go hand in hand, and the AIM Weight Loss Pack provides supplemental ingredients for success.
Plant-Based Fiber from Fit ’n Fiber
Getting enough fiber from dietary intake is essential for maintaining good health. When trying to lose pounds, every serving of Fit ’n Fiber sends a stopgap to the stomach to satisfy hunger and reduce caloric intake, a combination of results that is essential for losing weight and improving fitness. Each satiating serving of Fit ’n Fiber adds 10 grams of dietary fiber but with only 10 calories. Fiber-dense, calorie-light!
Plant-Based Protein from ProPeas
Weight Loss Pack 5856E, $130.00 M, $139.00 C (CAN 5857E, $136.00 M, $146.00 C)
Protein is another essential for maintaining good health, and it becomes a key ingredient for resolutions to lose weight and become fitter. However, the source of protein makes a difference in weightloss support. A 3.5-ounce (100-gram) serving of beef contains 14.89 grams of total fat, 5.83 grams of saturated fat and 250 calories. Conversely, a serving of plant-based protein from ProPeas contains only 1 gram of fat, no saturated fat and 60 calories. Furthermore, it takes more than 4 hours to digest a serving of ProPeas, 25 percent of which is burned off during digestion. This pea protein contributes to the building of lean muscles for fitness.

Trace Minerals and Herbs from GlucoChrom
The ingredients in GlucoChrom promote the reduction of body fat and the increase of lean muscle mass when combined with a wholesome diet and exercise, which are essential for wellness and a healthy body weight. The combination of two trace minerals, chromium and vanadium, and two unique herbs, bitter melon and Gymnema sylvestre, add four ingredients that support body metabolism, and can block sweet receptors in the taste buds thereby reducing sugar cravings.

Holiday Calm & Year Roundup
With the month of December holding celebrations that include Christmas, Hannukah and Kwanzaa, the hope is to settle into a holiday atmosphere where all is calm and bright. The reality is that the hustle and bustle of the holiday season can be stressful. To ease any stress that may arise, Members and Customers can always turn to the naturally calming effects of AIM products such as Composure and Mag-nificence CWR. And as the final calendar days bring 2024 to an end, the wish is to cheerfully celebrate a stress-free New Year’s Eve with a positive attitude for what lies ahead, while reflecting on the past year.
Looking back from The AIM Companies’ perspective, 2024 has included a number of significant events and productive undertakings for the benefit of Members and Customers.
The introduction of a new line of products and a new contest that took business-building winners on the very first road trip made this year another milestone in AIM’s 42-year history.
After four years of research and development, REPLY skincare was launched in April 2024. This trio of products offers an effective skincare routine that cleanses, tones, hydrates and moisturizes, while nourishing and protecting the skin with a base of barley seed extract. The AIM Companies came into being with nutrition from the leaves of young barley grass, so REPLY skincare includes the seed source of where AIM nutrition began.
REPLY Skincare Trio 6762E, $85.00 M, $90.00 C (CAN 6762E, $89.00 M, $94.00 C)
The year also generated contests for the AIM Royal Oak Trip and the AIM Mauritius Trip. Contest-winning Members in North America were awarded an all-inclusive 4-night getaway from October 3 – 7 at luxurious and picturesque Moofy’s Farmhouse in Royal Oak, Massachusetts. On the other side of the world, contest-winning Members enjoyed a 4-night stay at the Paradis Beachcomber Golf Resort & Spa on Mauritius’ southwestern tip. These informative and life-enriching getaways rewarded Members for their dedication and leadership in business-building and gave them an opportunity to celebrate their achievements with Nick van Rensburg, AIM Chief Operations Officer.
As 2024 winds down on another productive year at AIM, it is a time to acknowledge and celebrate the efforts of business-building Members and the loyalty of Customers in making it so.
GarlicAIM for Your Immune System
When thinking about garlic, the first thing that usually comes to mind is its odor. Eat enough of it in food, and a person can end up sharing that garlicky fragrance with others nearby. That’s because the breakdown of garlic releases sulfur-like compounds that remain in the bloodstream and seep through the pores of skin. But beyond that distinct odor, it’s a fact that garlic is really good for your body.
The unique compounds in garlic provide oxidant- and inflammationfighting properties that go a long way in supporting your immune system to keep you healthy. Taking GarlicAIM delivers that support as a dietary supplement without the post-ingestion odor.
GarlicAIM
6621E, $24.00 M, $26.00 C (CAN 6625E, $26.50 M, $28.00 C)
What’s more, three types of garlic go into the GarlicAIM formulation: wild alpine garlic leaf, garlic bulb extract and black fermented garlic. Each provides bioactive polyphenolic and organosulfur compounds that function as protective antioxidants and inflammation fighters. Research indicates that garlic compounds may modulate the signalling proteins that help control inflammation.¹
Furthermore, the unique components of garlic likely stimulate immune cells that defend and protect the body. These actions help maintain the homeostasis of the immune system.¹ That’s a balance that everyone can benefit from, especially during the colder months of the year. Low temperatures increase the presence of viruses and decrease the efficiency of the nasal passage, the first line of immune protection that defends the body against viruses.
Taking GarlicAIM daily can help to nutritionally strengthen your immune system with garlic’s protective compounds, helping to keep you healthy, particularly during the fall and winter.

Why AIM: Longevity
Selecting natural health products that you take internally or apply externally is something that should require a fair bit of thought and research. Learning as much as possible about products as well as the company that produces them helps to not only make the right choices but the healthiest ones. AIM welcomes such scrutiny by providing a wealth of information about its products and philosophy.
The first thing to consider about a company is how long it has been in business. The longevity factor says a lot about both AIM and the products. Collectively, The AIM Companies has been in business since April 1982. That means it is well into its 43rd year of improving and maintaining people’s health and wealth.
Beyond over four decades, longevity also means that people have been using the products safely and effectively for a very long time. You are never sure of that with companies that do not have an established reputation in the
marketplace. With AIM, you get a long-term company reputation and standing.
Longevity also reflects years of research and development that continues to produce highquality whole-food powders and dietary supplements. You can count on the ingredients coming from the best available sources that are pure and sustainable so that AIM can ethically continue to provide the finest products that it can produce.
As for AIM’s business model, selling products through individuals who have home-based, independent distributorships means that the profits of the company are shared with individual Members who sell the products. And that profitable relationship has been going on since the start of AIM as a company. It’s truly unique longevity, based on long-term relationships with individuals who connect with the values and determinations of a company that really wants to help people be healthy and have the Member option of an opportunity to earn an income by helping others as well.
Longevity is one of the many reasons why AIM will always be a reliable choice for natural health products.
Simplicity of the REPLY Skincare Routine
The trio of REPLY products is like a healthcare system for your face, resulting in skin that is clean, hydrated, nourished and toned. This gives your most visible feature a refreshed and invigorated look that projects a healthy complexion. Getting these facesaving results is easy with a simple daily routine using the REPLY Trio Kit.
First:
REPLY Oil to Foam Cleanser
Cleansing your face is essential to remove any debris and dead cells, even for people who do not wear makeup. Dirt that accumulates in your skin can clog your pores, increase microorganisms and cause skin eruptions. REPLY Oil to Foam Cleanser deep cleanses gently while hydrating your skin and nourishing the cells with botanical ingredients. After rinsing off the cleanser and gently wiping your face dry, you are ready for the second REPLY.
Second:
REPLY Essence/Toner
Spraying on REPLY Essence/Toner and gently massaging until it is fully absorbed refreshes and prepares your skin for the optimal absorption of REPLY Day & Night Cream. By hydrating and nourishing, REPLY Essence/Toner strengthens the moisture barrier and leaves your skin feeling supple, forming the ideal treatment base for the third REPLY.
Third:
REPLY Day & Night Cream
Applying REPLY Day & Night Cream to clean, toned skin adds more nourishment and hydration, sealing in moisture without leaving your skin feeling or looking oily. The unique combination of ingredients helps to boost collagen synthesis, strengthening the health and texture of your skin while reducing fine lines and wrinkles. As the name suggests, REPLY Day & Night Cream should be applied in the morning to nourish and protect throughout the day and reapplied in the evening to moisturize and replenish during the night, when your skin’s repair processes are most active.
Doing the REPLY routine mornings and evenings delivers skincare that works to cleanse, hydrate and nourish, promoting a vibrant complexion at any age.
