AIMComposure™ is a special blend of the extracts of eight herbs that work together to supply the body with some of the nutrients that can be depleted in times of stress.

When severe stress strikes, a number of things happen:

• Your body's ability to digest food is interrupted; thus, it is more difficult to get important nutrients
• Your immunity is reduced because stress reduces the efficacy of your T cells, which help fight infection
• Blood hormones trigger the secretion of adrenaline, which triggers a rise in blood pressure. This increases blood flow to the brain and muscles and stimulates the liver to convert glycogen (stored sugar) into glucose. Proteins from the thymus and lymph glands are converted to sugar for instant energy. The body also looks for extra minerals and fats

If your stress is of short duration, your body is able to deal with and recover from these changes. However, if stress is an everyday affair for you, the body continually experiences these changes, and, if your diet is not what it should be, your storage of nutrients may run low and damage may take place. This is perhaps what you feel as stress; the boy crying for nutrients. You are irritable, can't sleep and can't eat. Ensuring that your body has the proper nutrients can help prevent physical deterioration due to stress and make you feel better.

Benefits of AIMComposure™
The herbs found in AIMComposure™ work together to help your body in times of stress. Together, they give your body nutrients that help you out:

• Nutrients that help your adrenal glands, which stimulate the liver to convert glycogen (stored sugar) to glucose
• Nutrients that help fight infection that could result when ill or stressed
• Nutrients that help keep the thymus, which produces the T cells that fight disease, from shrinking and working less in times of stress

Contents of AIMComposure™
Taken as a whole, AIMComposure™ contains protein, carbohydrates, vitamins A and C, thiamine (B1), riboflavin (B2), niacin (B3), calcium and iron. Many of the individual herbs in AIMComposure™ also contain flavonoids. Flavonoids are chemical compounds found in fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds that often have beneficial effects. Flavonoids have been found to stimulate the immune system and their ongoing study may contribute to a better understanding of the effects of the environment on our immune system and on the development and control of allergies. AIMComposure™ uses herbal extracts. This means that you do not have to take as may capsules to get the same benefits, and the quantity of active ingredients remains consistent. The extract is obtained through a process that uses water, not harmful solvents. AIMComposure™ is 100% natural. There are no artificial colours, flavours, or preservatives, nor are there any added sugars, salts, yeast, or fillers.
Following are the individual herbs that make up AIMComposure™:

Alfalfa Medicago sativa
Today, alfalfa is commonly known as a forage food for livestock, but historically it was used as an important foodstuff for humans. It is also one of the oldest food grains to be domesticated, having been cultivated as long ago as 490 B.C. First introduced to the United States in 1850, alfalfa's popularity quickly grew because of its nutritive qualities. It is a source of chlorophyll, beta-carotene and minerals. It is especially rich in minerals, as it pulls up nutrients from root depths as great as 130 feet. Alfalfa grows from Maine to as far south as Virginia, and then westward across the continent to the Pacific coast

Irish Moss Chondrus crispus
Actually a seaweed, this interesting plant saved many poor Irish during the potato famine of the mid-19th century. It has been consumed fro hundreds of years and grows along the coastlines of both sides of the Atlantic Ocean. Irish immigrants who found the moss growing along the shores of Canada and New England were the first to use the plant in North America. It contains 15 of the 18 elements composing the human body. It contains vitamins A,D,E, and K and is also high in iodine and calcium.

Marshmallow Root Althaea officinalis
A source of food and other benefits, the tender tops of the marsh mallow plant are still eaten in France, a tradition dating back to when the emperor Charlemagne ordered the plant to be cultivated during the seventh century. It gets its botanical name from the Greek word although, which means, "to heal." The entire marsh mallow plant, including the root, leaves and flowers has been used for centuries. The leaves contain flavonoids. In fact, it has been a part of herbal tradition as far back as ancient Egypt. A confection made from the herb was originally the inspiration for the candy known as marshmallow, although the commercial product does not contain any of the plant.

Oatstraw Avena sativa
Oats are a traditional staple of Northern Europe. Cereal made from oatmeal (the crushed grain) is a nutritious breakfast that is now a popular food in many parts of the world. The entire plant is referred to as oatstraw, which is typically gathered for use in herbal blends when the grain is ripe. Recent research has shown that oat bran and to a lesser extent oatmeal, may help reduce high blood cholesterol. Oatstraw contains saponins, flavonoids, a number of minerals vitamins B1,B2,D,E and carotene, as well as wheat protein.

Passionflower Passiflora incarnata
Passionflower was used by Native Americans and later "discovered" by Spaniards in the 16th century. The herb became such an important part of the diet of Spanish colonists that by the 17th century it had even been incorporated into their religious beliefs. They crushed the stem of the plant and brewed it into tea. One of its constituents, passiflorine, reportedly promotes calmness and ability to sleep. A vine-like plant with beautiful, colourful blooms, the passionflower grows mainly in the southeastern parts of the United States. It is the state flower of Tennessee.

Shavegrass Equisetum arvense
Also known as horsetail grass, shavegrass is a member of one of the oldest groups of plants on earth. The plant's success can be attributed to its ability to grow in poor soil with minimum moisture. It has been used both internally and externally since the 16th century, usually as a powder. As an herb, the entire plant is used. It contains flavonoids and minerals.

Slippery Elm Bark Ulmus rubra
The slippery elm tree is found in the central and northern parts of the United States. A hardy plant, it grows in moist soils, bottomlands and along stream banks as well as in poor, dry soil. Reaching heights of up to 60 feet, the slippery elm has deeply furrowed bark and dark green leaves. First used by North American Indians. Slippery elm can be made into a lemonade drink by mixing the powdered leaves with enough cold water to make a paste. Then gradually add one pint of boiling water, squeeze in the juice from half a lemon, add honey to taste and drink. At one time, the plant was listed in the US Pharmacopoeia, a book describing medicinal preparations.

Yucca Yucca schidigera/Yucca brevifolia
The yucca is a cactus-like succulent common to the western United States and most of Mexico. Native Americans have commonly used it for centuries as a soap for personal hygiene and also as a detergent to clean clothing. The soap is derived from the roots of the yucca plant.
