Rebranding

™

The AIM Companies has exciting news to share!

We officially launched a fresh new brand identity on June 22, 2019 at the AIM BIG Celebration in Orlando, Florida. The new logo was designed with the composition of two minimalistic leaves to form a lowercase ‘a.’ Our brand colors are primarily shades of green that embody both nature and health. It was our goal in this project to establish our brand as one that embodies naturalness, freshness and happiness. We feel that our new brand identity succeeds in achieving this objective, in a fresh new look!

As the AIM family continues to grow and we expand our areas of focus and product experiences, we want our brand identity to best reflect who we are, what we believe in and where we are headed.

Just as people and companies develop, so do brands.

For over 37 years, our brand has grown through high-quality, wholesome products, a unique culture, and an invaluable opportunity. It all began with our green barley powder now called BarleyLife, which is still to this day our flagship product. Such endurance demonstrates AIM’s ability to stay true to our values and where we come from, but to also embrace the future. It 2

is for this reason that we chose two blades of barley grass as our new logo: to represent our roots and the product that started it all. We modernized the design of the blades, shaping them into what is now an “a” for AIM. As we begin our new branding rollout, keep a look out for fresh new brand colors, as well as clean new product labels along with a new website launch.

While we never forget our roots and core values, we are excited to take this bold step into AIM’s future with a new logo and visual identity designed by branding experts. This marks a new chapter in AIM’s mission that is best described as ‘innovative.’ It is our goal to ensure that AIM remains relevant and at the forefront, continuing to improve people’s lives through health and free enterprise.

Supported by strong roots and driven by industry-leading innovation, The AIM Companies™ and AIM Members are ready for what the future has in store.

Dennis J. Itami Co-owner, president and CEO

Health Feature

AIM to Beat the Summer Heat The heat is on in North America! As temperatures rise, energy levels lower for most people.

But hey! It’s summertime. You get to spend more time being physically active outdoors. At the same time, the heat makes you sweat, so you need to replenish with water to avoid dehydration.

also gives you six B vitamins, which are involved in cellular energy production.

What’s more, each serving of Peak Endurance “powder power” delivers 200 mg of ATP, short for adenosine triphosphate. ATP is the molecular source of energy in your body, so PEAK ATP® helps to replenish your energy levels in the summer heat.

Perspiring also makes you lose electrolytes. These electrically charged minerals not only play an active role in nerve, muscle, heart and brain activity but in moving nutrients in and waste out of your cells.

More AIM Powder Power

Electrolytes also maintain the balance of water in your body, so you need more than H2O to replenish them as well. But knocking back sugary energy drinks is not the way to go.

Greens from BarleyLife, BarleyLife Xtra and LeafGreens are jam-packed with revitalizing plant nutrition.

Replenish with Peak Endurance

AIM packs a lot of replenishing power in blueberry-açai-flavored Peak Endurance. By adding this powder to water, six major electrolytes are activated: sodium, calcium, potassium, chloride, phosphate and magnesium.

Along with vitamin C, Peak Endurance

Iced smoothies made with the addition of AIM whole-food powders are a very cool way to really boost your intake of energy-enhancing nutrients that are so good for your health.

CoCoa LeafGreens adds a chocolaty cocoa-bean boost of flavor and nourishment. Splashes of color from orange Just Carrots and red RediBeets up the smoothie intake of vegetable nutrients even more.

For natural help in rising above the summer heat, turn to AIM.

Testimony

Prayers and BarleyLife Shared by Carol Cover, Royal Emerald Director in Northfield, Minnesota In May 1990, I became ill with diarrhea that lasted for 22 months, so I was unable to continue working. My gastroenterologist had given up on me, and my family doctor sent me to the Mayo Clinic four times.

In spite of multiple tests and medical bills that totalled $20,000, the doctors could not determine the cause. The medication they prescribed only made me feel worse.

At that point, I weighed only 78 pounds and was having diarrhea more than 20 times a day. I had to be

hospitalized and fed hourly. Following a three-day-fast, my husband, Dick, brought me home, but the worst was yet to come.

Leg cramps made me scream in pain.

My pastor spent a night in our home pray­ing for me. Friends and family were certain I was dying.

Prayer groups began visiting. One day, a shy couple whom we hardly knew lingered at our door after the other members had left. One of them said, “We want to give you some BarleyLife,” telling me about how it had helped them and other people with health issues.

I began taking the one capsule daily they had recommended. Then I increased it to two and had my first formed stool since this health issue started. In a week and half, I felt totally well.

On April 1, 1992, I called AIM to find out how I could get more BarleyLife and have been taking the powder ever since.

I am 84 now and weigh a healthy 104 pounds.

Testimonials should not be construed as representing results everybody can achieve.

Carol with her husband, Richard.

Business

AIM Independent Business Owners

Independence

Independence is a fine word, especially when it includes having enough money. It’s an attainable goal in network marketing. AIM independent business owners have succeeded in making this a reality since 1982 and continue to make it happen.

Unlike an employee laboring long hours for a boss, AIM independent distributors work for themselves on their own timetable.

A regular job may give you a regular paycheck but there’s a cap on your earnings. Owning your AIM business means there are no limits to your income potential.

Jobs involve hard work and years of effort for someone else’s big profit.

The time and effort you put into growing your business through the training and mentoring of your downline team can be a profitable situation for everyone actively involved. At the same time, it’s work.

The Independent Marathon with Support

Growing a successful business is a long-term endeavor, so approach it more like a marathon than a 50-yard dash. In the long run, you’ll have accomplished a remarkable achievement with legs that carry you into the future. And along the way, never lose track of the reasons why you are doing this.

Every successful AIM independent distributor has contributed to the wellbeing of others. When it comes to being in business for yourself, it doesn’t get much more satisfying than the business of improving people’s health.

You have The AIM Companies™ behind you and endorsed access to Chrysalis Networx, a privately owned training platform created by Members for Members. So AIM for independence.

Your digestive system depends on digestive enzymes: proteins that break down food into nutrients and energy. Undigested food can cause a variety of health problems, including bloating, constipation, gas, headaches and toxin and waste buildup in the colon.

PrepZymes contains valuable cultured enzymes, which are active in both acidic and alkaline environments.

Key Digestive Enzymes and Their Actions: 1 Protease breaks down protein into amino acids

2 Lipase breaks down fat into fatty acids

3 Amylase breaks down

carbohydrates into glucose PrepZymes contains all 3 plus cellulase, lactase, maltase, invertase, alpine wild garlic and papaya fruit.

Helping to break down proteins, papain is a plant enzyme found in the tropical fruit papaya, which Christopher Columbus called the fruit of the angels.

Proteolytic Enzymes May Do More Than Break Down Protein Studies have shown they may help to: • decrease inflammation • promote healing • reduce muscle pain • alleviate irritable bowel disease symptoms

One capsule of PrepZymes before or during a meal helps to boost your digestive system and overall health.

Testimonies

Leg Twitching Comes to an End

A few months ago, I began having difficulty sleeping at night because of a persistent sensation: a twitching movement in my legs. Some evenings it would affect my right leg.

Other nights it would affect my left. I mentioned this to a friend, and she admitted to me that she had the same problem. She had told her doctor about it and was prescribed a pill that solved the problem. She recommended that I do the same. So I did. In the meantime, someone else suggested I try AIM’s Mag-nificence magnesium body lotion. I did so and was astonished at the result. The twitching and urge to move were entirely quelled, and I was able to sleep soundly all night. I have continued to use Mag-nificence lotion for several months now and have not needed to use the prescription medication since.

Darlene Burke, Wholesale Member Meridian, Idaho

Constipation Relief with Herbal Fiberblend I have been taking the AIM products for years now and know how amazing they are. I got my health back to a much better place after suffering with constipation for years. I am now free from that after using the Herbal Fiberblend powder. Today I’m a health coach, selling AIM products and coaching my clients on how to use them for healthier living.

Thank you, AIM! Fatima Moola, Group Builder Durban, South Africa
