20 Cash Prizes from $1,000 to $10,000 USD in the AIMing for Cash Contest see pages 8-10
from the desk
To our incredible AIM community,
Every now and then, a season arrives that feels like a turning point - and May is one of those moments. Across our network, we’re seeing renewed momentum, fresh ideas and a powerful sense of what’s possible. This month, I’m excited to share two announcements that are designed to further our mission.
Nicolas van Rensburg, AIM Chief Operating Officer
First, we’re launching the AIMing For Cash Contest, a 6-month incentive designed to keep you inspired and engaged with clear goals and rewarding outcomes. It’s more than just a contest—it’s a chance to tap into your potential and build meaningful progress over time.
Second, we’re proud to unveil our latest product innovation: AIM Repair Ointment. Thoughtfully crafted and tested with care, this product reflects our ongoing mission to support your well-being with practical solutions that make a difference.
Both of these announcements represent more than what they appear to be on the surface. They’re symbols of growth, commitment and what we can achieve together when we stay focused and connected.
Let’s keep our eyes on the future because it’s looking brighter every day.
Don’t wait for opportunity. Create it!
CalciAIM For Healthy Bones
Bone health ought to be a priority in everyone’s life even though it is certainly difficult to gauge your skeletal state without testing. Having a bone density test can help determine the strength and structure of your bones. However, these tests are generally not recommended until a person has reached their 60s, and by then, damage may already be done.
Bone loss in terms of density and strength is such a hidden health hazard that can creep up slowly over years of time without being obvious. This is another of the many reasons why healthy nutrition is so important. In particular, it means getting sufficient intake of dietary calcium along with other nutrients that support bone health.
Going hand in hand with consuming wholesome food is getting regular exercise that supports bone remodeling and strength (see page 11). AIM does not bottle exercise though. It’s something people have to integrate into their lives for body and bone health. But AIM does offer CalciAIM, a dietary supplement that delivers nutrition that works to support and maintain bone health.
Bone-Nurturing Ingredients
CalciAIM 4634E, $36.00 M, $39.00 C (CAN 5227E, $41.00 M, $44.50 C)
Instead of difficult-to-digest tablets or capsules, CalciAIM gives you three types of calcium in easily assimilated powder form: calcium carbonate, gluconate and lactate. When CalciAIM is mixed in water, a transformation occurs that includes the ideal pH for creating free-ionic calcium. It’s the most absorbable form of this bone-building mineral. With CalciAIM, you get the best sources of calcium for your bones . . . and so much more.
Calcium supplementation alone isn’t enough, which is why CalciAIM contains complementary nutrients and micronutrients that are needed for strong, healthy bones, including vitamins A, C and D, magnesium, copper and zinc.
When supplementing with a mineral like calcium, less is more for safe absorption. Each serving of CalciAIM gives you just the right amount for a healthy intake at one time. And the inclusion of Vitamin D and magnesium increases the bioavailability of calcium, furthering its absorption and utilization by the body, which is the main aim of CalciAIM.

Taking CalciAIM as a supplement is so supportive for bone health. Insufficient dietary calcium intake is common in North America. The recommended amount needed daily depends on a person’s age and sex. Adults generally require 1,000 mg until the age of 50, then it increases by 200 mg for women. At 70, men need 1,200 mg of calcium daily as well.
AIM Repair Ointment
The release of a new product is always exciting news for the AIM Family. Introducing another addition to the line of skincare that works has been hinted at in the past and Repair Ointment is now part of the present and future of AIM.
Gentle Yet Effective For All Ages
It’s not a simple task to create an ointment that works for people of all ages, from infants to elders and everyone else in between. That’s exactly what makes Repair Ointment unique in a marketplace of every kind of cream under the sun.
Repair Ointment can be your go-to cream choice for skin problems such as cracking, irritation, redness and roughness. Its carefully selected ingredients provide a formulation that soothes all areas of skin. And only a thin layer of Repair Ointment is required for each application, which is then gently massaged over the affected area until absorbed.
Whether applied to hardworking hands that are rough, dry or irritated or to a baby’s sensitive skin inflamed by diaper rash, Repair Ointment works impressively at alleviating skin discomfort for all age groups. Parents of newborns can rest assured that the ointment does not contain any harsh chemicals or irritating agents. This makes it safe for use on all skin areas of any body, including the neck, elbows, knees and feet.
Repair Ointment acts as a balm for problematic areas of the skin. Anywhere there is dryness, redness or roughness, Repair Ointment repairs the skin by minimizing the source of irritation while forming a protective barrier that shields skin from further discomfort. Its versatility as a suits-all-ages ointment for skin problems also allows it to be used as an all-over moisturizer that keeps skin hydrated and smooth.
Experience the Plant-Based Power of Science-Backed Skincare
Just like all AIM skincare products, Repair Ointment is formulated with carefully selected ingredients known for their effectiveness in promoting healthy skin, including plant-based barley seed extract, jojoba esters and saccharomyces ferment filtrate.
Repair Ointment
6779E, $15.00 M, $17.00 C (CAN 6779E, $16.00 M, $17.50 C)
The history of AIM began with barley grass and its future continues with the inclusion of barley seed extract as a key ingredient in Repair Ointment –skincare that works. Skin pain, redness and swelling are all associated with the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines, the signaling protein molecules primarily produced by immune cells. Barley seed extract has been shown to reduce the cascading inflammatory effect of cytokines, so this active ingredient in Repair Ointment helps to calm irritated skin and relieve discomfort.
Jojoba Esters
Derived from jojoba plant seeds, jojoba esters are formed of long-chain fatty acids and fatty non-drying alcohols that soften and deeply hydrate the skin. Similar to the natural oils produced by the sebaceous glands in the skin, jojoba esters deliver emollient, lubricating and skin-conditioning properties that accentuate the moisturizing effects of Repair Ointment.
Saccharomyces Ferment Filtrate
Sourced from fermented yeast, the beneficial enzymes, amino acids and peptides in saccharomyces ferment filtrate have a calming effect on the skin, helping to reduce the redness and discomfort of skin conditions. This ingredient is very effective yet gentle enough for newborns, whose skin is particularly sensitive and prone to irritation. Saccharomyces ferment filtrate helps strengthen and support the skin’s natural barrier function, which prevents water loss and shields the skin from irritants that can cause discomfort.
Other plant-based ingredients in the formulation include gotu kola extract, ginger root extract, safflower seed oil and honeysuckle flower extracts, adding to the natural, soothing properties of Repair Ointment for healing and moisturizing problematic areas of skin.
With the introduction of Repair Ointment, Members have another premium skincare product to nurture business growth.
Passion in
Shared by Carli van den Bosch, AIM Director in Pretoria East,
South Africa
In January 2024, I began an extraordinary journey with The AIM Companies, which has transformed my life in unexpected ways.
In my final year of high school, I was uncertain about my gap-year plans. But then my mom, who'd been part of AIM for four years, introduced me to her team's health and wellness sessions. I was inspired by the positive impact they had on others and decided to join AIM.
It seemed like the perfect chance to do something meaningful while exploring my future. Besides, growing up in a big family, I had witnessed the incredible impact of AIM products such as FloraFood, Magnificence CWR, Herbal Fiberblend and the Garden Trio had on our health.
My mom was instrumental in guiding me initially. She showed me the ropes of promoting health products, connecting with people and hosting wellness meetings, which really helped boost my confidence. We make a fantastic mother-daughter team, and I appreciate her support, as well as the valuable knowledge and encouragement from our team.
Having seen the transformative power of these products in my own life and hearing numerous success stories from others, I find it incredibly rewarding to empower people who feel stuck and hopeless, showing them that nutrition and whole-food supplementation can truly make a difference.
I also began working at a general practitioner's office, where the focus is on metabolic health and lifestyle medicine. The doctor's approach resonated deeply with me, as she prioritizes identifying the root cause of health issues. This experience aligns perfectly with AIM's philosophy of holistic wellness, strengthening my resolve to help others through both AIM nutrition and lifestyle education.
Bloom
AIM is more than just a business. It's a powerful platform for transforming lives, a fundamental reason why I’m passionate about the AIM business opportunity. What I find most exciting is that anyone can achieve success here, as long as they're committed and genuinely passionate about helping others. The network marketing industry is booming, and I believe it offers young people like me a chance to build something truly meaningful.
Reflecting on my journey with AIM, from receiving my first rebate payment in March to achieving Director level in August as well as being able to purchase my own car with my extra income, I'm grateful for the invaluable personal growth, financial independence and sense of purpose I've gained. This business has taught me the importance of perseverance, the fulfilment of helping others and the strength of teamwork.
As I continue to grow with AIM, my goal is to inspire others to unlock their potential. I'm thankful for the profound impact AIM has had on my life, exceeding my expectations in every aspect.

Exercising Your Frame
Exercise is often equated with building and strengthening muscles for a fitter physical shape. But it is not just muscles that get a boost from regular movement. The joints and bones that muscles are attached to are maintained and strengthened by routine exercise.
When exercising, you use voluntary muscles to work the skeletal system that makes up your frame. This movement also helps you to maintain your balance and posture, both of which support the health and shape of your frame at any age in time.
Exercising Your Bones
Young people need exercise to build strong bones, while older people maintain bone strength through regular physical activity. That’s because bone is actually mineralized connective living tissue that is continuously being remodeled— broken down and replaced with new bone.
The force you personally create from regular exercise supports remodeling, making bone structure dense and strong. Furthermore, exercise can improve balance and coordination, which, for those in their mature years, helps prevent falls and fractures.
Of course, wholesome nutrition is essential for bone health, particularly in regard to getting a sufficient intake of calcium, vitamin D and magnesium (supplementally available in CalciAIM - see page 3).

Exercising Your Joints
The connective tissue that attaches muscles to bones and forms joints, ligaments and tendons is another part of your frame that gets a physical boost from exercise. Your body is designed to move by the use of joints. Keeping them physically active by exercising regularly maintains their function and strength.
Unlike muscles that get a regular supply of nutrients from circulating blood, the cells of ligaments and cartilage that form joints get nutrition primarily from the flow of synovial fluid. Exercise optimizes that flow of joint nutrition (and Frame Essentials contributes the nutritional building blocks of joints).
It’s a good idea to consult your health care practitioner before embarking on any new exercise program, particularly for anyone with health issues. However, exercise is medicine for you and your frame. It’s essential!

Why AIM: Women at the Forefront
The business strategy of selling products directly through network marketing has been around for well over a century. It’s interesting to note that in present times, around 75 percent of the people involved in this approach to direct sales are women.
Throughout AIM’s history, women have excelled as independent distributors. These individuals have taken the AIM opportunity and carved out niches for themselves in the business world. They share the benefits of AIM products with a sense of caring and compassion, especially for those who are held back by health issues that greatly affect their quality of life.
The nurturing nature of women is an ideal quality for a business focused on the well-being of others. Offering a vision of hope and following up with effective results, these women have been changing lives for the better, not only in health improvements but in creating AIM opportunities that empower other women.
The fact that the largest percentage of Members are women puts them at the forefront of AIM’s success over the past 43 years. Given this proportion, it's understandable that the majority of winners in last year’s contest happen to be women. It will be interesting to see
who dominates the Top 20 spots in this year’s AIMing for Cash Contest.
The AIM opportunity has always been an open field for women and men, who have all participated in establishing AIM as a contender in the competitive world of natural health products. It’s nutrition that works because of Members who have worked diligently to make it a reality. And anyone with a similar mindset can be a part of that reality.
Starting up a business that you can manage from home is appealing to many people. For those with children, being able to run a business on your own terms and schedule makes this form of direct sales even more attractive . . . and all the more doable. From the comfort of home, you can operate a business that embraces the family way of life. This remains an appealing factor, particularly for parents.
Just the same, you don’t have to have a family to be a part of the AIM Family. Everyone is welcome, whether people use the products as Customers or as Members who also build businesses by sharing the AIM brand. The AIM Companies appreciates all in the AIM Family, while acknowledging that women at the forefront of membership will greatly contribute to future success.
ProPeas: Clean Pea Protein
Since the 1950s, protein supplements made primarily from egg, soy or whey were focused on muscle growth for bodybuilders and athletes. The trouble with those ingredients includes allergic reactions and sourcing. All three protein sources are on the Big 9 list of common food allergens, and most soy crops have been genetically modified.1
Even among non-athletic people of all ages, supplemental protein can help support healthy muscles, body weight and metabolism. Health benefits such as these make non-allergenic protein sources for supplements all the more desirable among the general population.
It is important to note that even though the vast majority of food allergens are proteins, not all food proteins are allergens.2 So, back in 2009 the choice was clear for AIM when deciding to launch a protein supplement that is healthy for all: ProPeas.*
The Making and Taking of ProPeas
ProPeas 6251E, $42.00 M, $45.00 C (CAN 6589E, $45.00 M, $48.50 C)
Along with being non-GMO, gluten-free and vegan, ProPeas provides a plant-based source of supplemental protein from peas, which are not considered to be a major food allergen. Of great importance as well, ProPeas provides a clean protein supplement.
Clean filtration is the only way pea protein ends up in canisters of ProPeas. Other supplement brands frequently isolate protein using harsh chemicals or solvents. Not AIM.
Most importantly, taking ProPeas means safely increasing intake of a macronutrient that is a body essential for maintaining healthy muscle mass, metabolism and weight. Using the excellent profile of amino acids in pea protein also means the delivery of building blocks that create healthy cells, making ProPeas another example of AIM nutrition that works right down to the cellular level.
*2009 also saw the launch of Fit ’n Fiber, ProPeas’s perfect companion product for healthy weight management
