There’s a lot to digest in this issue of Living Well magazine, so perhaps it’s fitting that it begins with a look at the digestive power of “ The EnZymes in PrepZymes.” This dietary supplement comes in handy for digesting summer meals, especially “meaty” barbecue that makes eating outdoors such a pleasure.
Naturally, there’s more about the newest product from The AIM Companies™. “AIM Repair Ointment at Work ” delves deeper into the use of this skincare product, and there’s the “First Feedback on Repair Ointment ” from a few people who tested it long before it was introduced to the product lineup.
On the subject of skincare, it’s natural that comparisons be made between Repair Ointment and REPLY. “Asking About Repair and REPLY Skincare” takes a side-by-side look at the ointment and Day & Night cream to examine the distinct differences between these skincare products. “ The REPLY Skincare Routine” adds further distinction to the trio of products that are the perfect reply to any question about how to improve and maintain facial skin health.
The month of June celebrates Father’s Day, and “Nutritional Essentials for Men's Health” examines supplemental assistance for guys of all ages. For fellows in their 30s, reading a “Fresh Focus on ReAssure SP ” gives them a heads-up on a common prostate problem for men and a natural solution from AIM.
Last month began a new challenge for Members, so in this issue, “AIMing For Cash Contest: Month Two” revisits the tasks required to meet that challenge and the enticing possible pay-offs.
Of course, June holds both the end of spring and the beginning of summer, which begins the height of the typical travel season in North America. “ Traveling With AIM ” provides some healthy suggestions for anyone hitting the road. The warmer weather is also an ideal time to simply go outside and experience how “Nature Nurtures,” a concept that goes back a very long time, even further than the following words written in the 1840s by the American poet, James Russell Lowell . . .
And what is so rare as a day in June?
Then, if ever, come perfect days; Then Heaven tries earth if it be in tune,
And over it softly her warm ear lays; Whether we look, or whether we listen,
We hear life murmur, or see it glisten . . .
Poetically speaking, these are as good words as any to warmly welcome you to the June issue of Living Well magazine.
The EnZymes in PrepZymes
With a formulation of nine digestive enzymes, garlic leaf and a tropical fruit, PrepZymes offers a remarkable helping hand that supports the body’s digestion of food and its assimilation of nutrients for energy and overall health.
Adding the enzymatic ingredients in PrepZymes to the body’s supply of enzymes increases digestive activity. The diversity of enzymes in PrepZymes targets all food components, including carbohydrates, fats, protein and refined sugars. In other words, it’s a dietary supplement that contributes to the thorough and necessary breakdown of all foods from dietary intake.
PrepZymes
2123E, $28.00 M, $30.00 C (CAN 2171E, $29.00 M, $31.50 C)
The nine digestive enzymes used in the formulation of PrepZymes are cultivated, strained off and purified to remove any remaining bacteria, fungi or yeasts. These actions create cultured enzymes. Furthermore, each enzyme remains actively effective, whether the digestive environment is alkaline or acidic.
Backing up the nine cultured enzymes is alpine wild garlic leaf – aka bear garlic – and papaya fruit, both of which enhance PrepZymes as a digestive health supplement.
Alpine wild garlic leaf promotes healthy digestion and provides protective antioxidant activity. Papaya fruit helps in the digestion of protein while providing an overall soothing effect on the stomach, where chewed and swallowed food mixes with gastric juices and turns into a semifluid consisting of partially digested food known as chyme.
Enzymatic activity on chyme continues in the small intestine, where the ingredients in PrepZymes continue to reinforce the body’s source of enzymes in breaking down chyme into absorbable food components that can enter the bloodstream to be circulated into cells for energy use and storage.
The helping hand from the enzymatic ingredients in PrepZymes stretches a long way in supporting the digestive system of the body.
Repair Ointment at Work
Last month’s launch of Repair Ointment added an incredibly useful new product to the AIM lineup. Uniquely different from the other choices of skincare that works, Repair Ointment is a stand-alone ointment to keep on hand for rough hands, chafed feet, dry elbows, itchiness on the abdomen, back or chest, or any other irritated skin area.
Applying the ointment’s super hydrating formulation protects your skin while plantbased ingredients such as barley seed extract and saccharomyces ferment filtrate go to work at repairing the affected areas that are causing you concern or discomfort.
For parents, Repair Ointment is gentle enough to use on children of all ages, even newborns with sensitive skin that is still developing. It isn’t until around the age of two that the skin barrier of an infant begins to be similar to that of an adult.
Using Repair Ointment’s gentle,
fragrance-free formulation on the easily irritated skin of a baby is a safe yet effective way to reduce discomfort and redness.
At the same time, Repair Ointment has no age barriers, so its gentle efficacy works wonders on skin barriers, regardless of the ages of men, women, young adults or children. Whether you work with your hands and develop irritatingly cracked skin, or you are affected by seasonal weather conditions that increase skin dryness, or you notice rough patches of skin that need attention, use Repair Ointment on those spots to repair the situation.
Think of Repair as the ideal go-to skin ointment to carry around in backpacks, diaper bags, etc. and to keep at home in first-aid kits or medicine chests so that Repair Ointment is always on hand and ready to go to work.
First Feedback on Repair Ointment
Whenever AIM conducts the extensive research required to develop new products, a major part of the follow-up involves trials in which people test the products in development before they are fully packaged and launched as additions to the product lineup.
Long before the release of AIM Repair Ointment, product samples were given to a number of Members, who tested the ointment and reported the results. Here’s some of their initial feedback about using Repair Ointment.
Help for Troubled Skin
My husband, Randy, has struggled with irritated skin for many years, experiencing red spots, dryness and roughness across his upper torso. After using Repair Ointment, we began to see noticeable improvements. His skin felt softer and smoother in just three to four days, and the red spots were significantly reduced within a week. The ointment is easy to apply, non-greasy and provides great coverage. Given the quick results, I would gladly continue using it and recommend it to others dealing with similar issues.
~ Judy
Help for Rough, Dry Skin
Repair Ointment helped with the rough texture of my skin almost immediately. I later used it on my face as well. It felt lovely, gave me a glow and helped with winter dryness. Since applying Repair on my face, I have had a couple of people asking about what I was using. The scent is very mild and easy to handle. The color is bright white, and the ointment feels very nice and thick. It is pleasing to see how little was needed at a time and how far I could get with it. The 1.9 ounces was adequate for my usage, and I applied the
Help for Itchiness
~ Michelle
My pit bull has itchy skin. . . not sure what causes it. When I apply Repair Ointment, I can see immediate relief for my dog. I even use it for mosquito bites on my skin . . . Repair works wonders.

REPLY & Repair Skincare
With the introduction of Repair Ointment to the line of skincare that works, questions arise about using this new product with REPLY Day & Night Cream as shown in the following Q & A . . .
Q: Can I replace my REPLY Day & Night Cream with Repair Ointment?
A: While both products offer hydration and nourishment, they serve different purposes. REPLY Day & Night Cream is a dual-purpose product that hydrates and protects the skin during the day while supporting skin recovery at night. On the other hand, Repair Ointment is a targeted treatment to soothe the discomfort of dry, irritated or cracked skin while providing intense hydration, but it’s not designed to be a comprehensive moisturizer for the entire face. It's best to use REPLY in conjunction with Repair to address different skincare needs.
Q: How do the ingredients in Repair Ointment differ from those in REPLY Day & Night Cream?
A: REPLY Day & Night Cream contains shea butter, barley seed extract and acetyl hexapeptide-8, which help with repairing skin, reducing fine lines and maintaining hydration. The cream is designed to target oxidative stress while providing all-day moisturization and night-time regeneration. In contrast, Repair Ointment focuses on soothing and restoring irritated skin, using ingredients such as barley seed extract and jojoba esters to provide relief and seal in moisture without being greasy.
Q: Can Repair Ointment address aging concerns like REPLY Day & Night Cream?
A: While Repair Ointment offers deep hydration and skin protection, it is not formulated to target signs of aging like REPLY Day & Night Cream. The REPLY cream contains ingredients such as acetyl hexapeptide-8, which relaxes facial muscles and reduces wrinkles. This makes REPLY more suitable for addressing fine lines and wrinkles, something Repair Ointment does not specifically target.
Q: Can I use Repair Ointment and REPLY Day & Night Cream together?
A: Absolutely! These products can complement each other in your skincare routine. Repair Ointment is great for treating specific areas that need extra care or hydration, such as dry patches or cracked skin. REPLY Day & Night Cream can be used to maintain overall skin health and address aging, environmental stressors and day-tonight hydration.
Q: When should I use Repair Ointment in relation to REPLY Day & Night Cream?
A: REPLY Day & Night Cream should be used as a base for your daily and nightly skincare routine to keep your skin hydrated and protected. Repair Ointment can be applied to specific dry or irritated areas that require more intense care after applying your regular skincare products. This way, both products work together to address your skin’s unique needs.
Nutritional Essentials for Men's Health
optimal functioning. Additionally, these essential fatty acids provide energy, regulate gene expression and support the cardiovascular and nervous systems. Basically, omega-3 and -6 promote overall body health for men, and AIMega provides a plant-based source of these essentials.
Even though there are no absolute guarantees in life, consuming a primarily whole-food diet that includes a wide variety of plant-based nutrition is pretty much a sure thing for guys who want to improve and maintain their state of health.
As for supplemental whole food, BarleyLife delivers a truly unique source of nutrition that contributes to men’s health. Getting food from a grass is a concept that a lot of men may not be able to accept. Besides, men tend to take fewer supplements than women, so it’s likely more of a challenge to convince guys that they would benefit greatly from taking AIM’s barley leaf juice powder. The truth is that for men of all ages, taking BarleyLife is a positive step in the direction of essential plant-based energy, nutrition and protection.
Considering fiber intake, more is much healthier than less. Still, most guys do not get enough fiber from their food intake. An AIM dietary supplement such as Herbal Fiberblend can fill in that missing essential with fiber and herbs that support a fellow’s digestive system. And a healthy gut is crucial for a man’s overall well-being.
Then there’s AIMega. This dietary supplement helps satisfy the essential need for omega-3 and -6 fatty acids that a guy’s body cannot synthesize yet requires to build and maintain healthy cell membranes and their
All three essentials— BarleyLife, AIMega and Herbal Fiberblend—are available in guy-friendly capsules, just in case of negative responses to a glass of grass or fiber.
Needless to say, there’s a lot more for men to choose from in the AIM product lineup, including Frame Essentials for joint health, Peak Endurance for ATP body energy and ReAssure SP for prostate support (see page 10 for more).
Guys frequently neglect looking after the largest body organ: skin. The trio of REPLY products start at the top in taking good care of a man’s face, improving and maintaining skin health.
Traveling With AIM
With the month of June holding the remaining days of spring, eventually opening the door to summer, your chances of being bitten by the travel bug increase with each warmer day. It’s a bug bite that makes you want to explore other places, see new sights and experience different cultures. Once bitten, there’s no cure except to satisfy the desire to get away.
Wherever your travel bug takes you, take along a pack of health care made up of AIM products. For actual bug bites and other skin irritations, bring along Repair Ointment, AIM’s newest product for skin health. For more roaming skincare, the REPLY Trio Kit fits easily into a pack.
whole-food intake on any journey with its raft of nutrients and phytonutrients
As for inner health while on the move, it’s simple enough to pack your favorite AIM whole-food powders and dietary supplements, which can be kept in the original containers or stored in your own for easy packing and convenient use.
A product such as BarleyLife is available as a barley leaf juice powder in canisters, capsules and extra-convenient single-serving packets. This green nutrition makes for perfect supplemental
The antioxidants in Proancynol 2000 complement those in BarleyLife, adding even more inner protection for outer travel experiences that include public transportation and large crowds. Taking along a bottle of FloraFood is like insurance for a healthy gut, especially if you happen to consume something during your travels that doesn’t agree with your stomach.
Traveling can be stressful at times, and it can be hard to get a good night’s sleep in an unfamiliar place, so maybe you’ll want to reach for some herbal relaxation courtesy of Composure. It’s a bottle of stress relief whenever you need it.
Wherever you go during the summer side of life, make sure you’re traveling with AIM as a healthy companion on your trip.
Nature Nurtures
With all of the technological advances that provide conveniences in modern life, a large part of the population has is disseminated is negative, and the constant bombardment of bad news has a depressing effect on how people think and feel.
that is oblivious to the negativity in the palms of their hands. Nature is a healthy balm that can be applied simply by being
Taking time to immerse yourself in a setting constructed by nature nurtures the body, mind and spirit. Spending time in natural surroundings is cost-free, for the most part. A walk in the park, a wander in the woods, a stroll in the countryside, a saunter through a meadow, a hike along a coastline . . .
If people turned their attention away from their screens for a moment and spent just a bit of time focused on swaying trees in the breeze, drifting clouds in the sky or birds on the wing, they would find each to be a calming reminder of the boundless natural life
It’s worth seeking out a natural refuge to wallow in and renature yourself on a regular basis. In doing so, you add positiveness to your well-being. A positive attitude comes in particularly handy these days, which is why it has always been one of the five avenues to follow in the AIM Healthy Cell Concept. There’s an entirely natural world just waiting to enhance the health of your cells simply by you being in it.

ReAsssure SP 5181E, $32.00 M, $35.00 C (CAN 5183E, $34.00 M, $36.50 C)
ReAssure SP targets the symptoms triggered by an enlarged prostate, a common occurrence in men as they age. Taking this dietary supplement for prostate health gives a guy a natural advantage for easing the discomforts, including blocked urine flow.
The base ingredient that adds the SP to ReAssure is a berry oil extract from the saw palmetto plant. Several recent studies confirm taking this inflammation-fighting botanical in a daily serving of 320 mg is a safe and effective way to fend off the progression of prostate enlargement and significantly improve peak urinary flow.
Pumpkin seed oil has been shown to provide relief from the urinary symptoms of an enlarged prostate, without any side effects.

Tomato extract provides a source of lycopene, a potent antioxidant that delivers beneficial effects for the prostate.

Zinc accumulates in the prostate gland in a higher concentration than any other soft tissue of a man’s body. Lower zinc levels are associated with an enlarged prostate. ReAssure SP provides 15 mg (140% RDI) of zinc per serving.

Men who go natural by taking ReAssure SP need to commit to a minimum 3 months of daily usage for full benefits.
Month Two
The big changes in this year’s contest include the type of prizes: CASH. For Members in the U.S., Canada, Australia, New Zealand and the United Kingdom, AIM decided on something that pretty much everyone can use more of, and that’s a chunk of change. Prize monies range from $1,000 to $10,000 USD* for the top 20 contenders in the AIMing for Cash Contest.
May 1 began the first of six months during which Members can earn points in the 2025 AIMing for Cash Contest. A lot can happen in one month, and here’s hoping that a lot of point-earning happened for businessbuilding Members during month one. June marks month two, and there’s still a lot to do in the five months ahead for Members aiming to be on the list of top 20 winners, when the contest ends on October 31.
Another big change includes a new way to earn points: AMRs. Being able to automatically reorder on a monthly basis gave Members a great option to always have nutrition and skincare that works on hand. And it allows changes in products ordered, delivery date, shipping method, etc. Having an AMR is now an option for Customers, who also accrue Loyalty Reward credits that can be used like cash on follow-up orders, plus receive free delivery on product orders of $75 or more when AIM is allowed to choose the least expensive shipping method.
During the contest period, Customers who sign up for AMRs allow their sponsoring Members to earn contest points. Members who sign up for AMRs earn contest points for themselves as well as their sponsors.
The REPLY
Skincare Routine
Once boys and girls reach their teenage years, they are often prone to skin problems that cause embarrassment and self-consciousness. Gently cleansing, hydrating and moisturizing are important steps for maintaining healthy skin. The REPLY skincare routine can help men and women throughout all stages of life.
It’s as simple as . . .
1 Oil to Foam Cleanser
Problem
Dirt and oils accumulate on facial skin, clogging up pores, increasing the presence of microorganisms and causing skin eruptions.
Solution
REPLY Oil to Foam Cleanser works at gently lifting and removing debris, dead cells, even makeup buildup that can negatively impact skin health. The resulting deep cleanse increases hydration and nourishment of the skin, priming the face for deeper REPLY hydration and toning.
3 Day & Night Cream
Problem
Dry facial skin is caused by a variety of environmental factors, including soap use, weather conditions and sun exposure.
Solution
REPLY Essence/Toner begins going to work as soon as it is misted on facial skin. Gently massaging in the nourishing, water-based spray until fully absorbed hydrates and tones, strengthens the moisture barrier and prepares skin for REPLY moisturization. *Apply extra sprays throughout the day to keep skin hydrated.
Problem
Waking hours expose skin to stressors that affect its appearance and health, and sleeping hours are prime time for skin rejuvenation.
Solution
REPLY Day & Night Cream moisturizes, nourishes, protects and strengthens facial skin throughout the day when applied in the morning. Applied before bedtime, the cream adds rejuvenating nourishment during the body’s most active time of repair.
Barley seed extract is the nourishing, soothing and protecting base ingredient in the trio of REPLY products, adding exceptional nutrition to skincare that works.
