BarleyLife KOSHER
GLUTEN FREE
NON GMO VEGAN
Young barley leaves are remarkably rich in nutritious and functional ingredients that include natural vitamins, minerals, enzymes, chlorophyll, antioxidants and phytonutrients. BarleyLife captures this vast array of plant-based components in a leaf juice powder. bit.ly/BGIngredients
No Double Dipping!
Innovations in night harvesting, cold processing and spray drying of barley grass have created the most nutritionally beneficial BarleyLife to date.
Harvesting crops of young barley leaves from only one seeding ensures their optimal nutritive value in BarleyLife.
The Oxidative Stress Reducer
Excess production of free radicals called reactive oxygen species overwhelms antioxidant defense, creating oxidative stress. Superoxide dismutase is both an enzyme and a powerful antioxidant that defends the body against free radicals, particularly reactive oxygen species. BarleyLife is a super source of superoxide dismutase.
Around 75 percent of the chlorophyll content in plants is type A—the primary pigment that captures sunlight for photosynthesis. Accounting for the other 25 percent, chlorophyll B is an accessory pigment that passes collected sunlight to chlorophyll A. Both chlorophyll A and B have antioxidant properties. bit.ly/ChlorophyllAB 2

Each 4-gram serving of BarleyLife contains 22 mg of chlorophyll. At the core of every chlorophyll molecule is magnesium.
Chlorophyll NOT Chlorophyllin Many supplements that claim to provide chlorophyll actually contain chlorophyllin: a semi-synthetic concoction of sodium copper salts derived from chlorophyll. BarleyLife delivers the real thing: natural plant chlorophyll. bit.ly/SyntheticChlorophyll

RediBeets
GLUTEN FREE

VEGAN
The concentrated juice powder of beets makes it easy to get supplemental nutrition from these incredibly nourishing root vegetables without having to cook or juice them. Just mix 1 teaspoon of RediBeets in 4 oz (120 ml) of water and drink this beverage twice daily. If you are athletically inclined, take up to 4 teaspoons in 10 oz (300 ml) of water once a day.
Relax: It’s Vegetable Nitrate Beets contain a sizable source of nitrate (NO3) that once ingested becomes part of a conversion pathway, first transforming into nitrite (NO2) and then converting to nitric oxide (NO). Nitric oxide naturally enhances circulation by relaxing and widening blood vessels. This inner relaxation supports healthy blood pressure levels. Each 4-gram serving of RediBeets contains 72 milligrams of beet nitrate that contributes to this pathway of relaxation.
Known to fight inflammation and play a role in lowering homocysteine levels, betaine is also a lipotrope that helps reduce fat accumulation in the liver.

Betaine Betalains Betacyanins
The Beets in RediBeets Color
The color of beets makes them one of the rare fruits and vegetables with an inner, dark red hue. It’s created by the presence of betacyanins, one of the plant pigments known as betalains, which also provide antioxidant activity and inflammation fighting properties. This coloring gives beets different nutrients and phytonutrients than those found in produce of other colors. bit.ly/BeetBetacyanins bit.ly/BeetBetalains 6
Taste and Aroma
The earthy taste and aroma of beets is the result of an organic compound called geosmin, which means earth odor. Produced primarily by soil-dwelling, good bacteria, geosmin may protect vegetables against predators. It is not known if beets are able to produce their own geosmin or simply absorb it from the soil. bit.ly/GeosminB1 bit.ly/GeosminB2

Just Carrots is a wholefood carrot juice concentrate that AIM introduced in 1991. Carrots are root vegetables known for their distinct orange color, taste and healthy benefits. With Just Carrots, no juicing is required!
GLUTEN FREE
NON GMO
VEGAN
Creating Just Carrots In spite of being naturally sweet, carrots have a relatively low impact on blood sugar levels. One serving of Just Carrots contains 7 grams of natural sugar from this healthy vegetable. No other sugar, sweeteners or artificial coloring is added.
Beneficial for overall wholebody health, Just Carrots delivers particularly effective nutrition for the eyes and skin.
A three-step process is used to make pure, extracted juice from carrots with the fiber removed. Preserving the carrot’s nutritional bounty, AIM’s process involves freeze-drying at low temperatures in a vacuum-sealed chamber to create carrot crystals that are clearly, healthy gems.
Twenty-two pounds of raw carrots go into each canister of Just Carrots powder, delivering their wealth of vegetable nutrients, including a rich source of beta-carotene and active enzymes.
The beta-carotene in carrots is an antioxidant carotenoid that your body converts to vitamin A, essential for red blood cell production, immune-system support, good vision and healthy skin.

The Vitamin D in CalciAIM
Having sufficient calcium in your diet means you’re giving your body the primary building block of strong and healthy bones. However, your body also needs the presence of vitamin D to absorb this mineral; otherwise, calcium can be wasted. CalciAIM contains ergocalciferol, a plant-based source of vitamin D that helps your body to effectively absorb calcium.
L-lysine is an essential amino acid that has to come from dietary intake or a supplement. L-lysine is necessary for the formation of collagen, a protein in cartilage, tendons, skin and bone. One serving of CalciAIM contains 150 mg of L-lysine (as L-lysine hydrochloride).
Calcium is an essential nutrient that your body cannot produce, so it must continuously be sourced from dietary intake. Otherwise, calcium deficiency can be an issue for people of all ages.
Did you know? It is vital for children and adolescents to have a sufficient intake of calcium. During these stages of life, bone structure is continuously broken down by the body as new bones are built. This process is called remodeling, and bones grow in size and strength because the body is building more bone material than it is removing. 10
Calcium plays a vital role in many body processes, such as hormone secretion, blood clotting and muscle contraction, most notably in the heart.

Your gastrointestinal tract is the home of roughly 100 trillion microorganisms. This monumental population includes fungi, protozoa and viruses, but the microbiota majority are bacteria. These dominant microorganisms are known to be beneficial for a number of reasons, including the ability to synthesize both essential and nonessential amino acids, produce a number of vitamins and perform bile biotransformation. bit.ly/HundredTrillion
Lactobacillus gasseri isolated from infants proved to be one of two species that showed benefits for immune health while having the highest probiotic potential. bit.ly/Lgasseri
A baby’s gastrointestinal tract was once thought to be sterile before birth, and microbe colonization was believed to begin during the birthing process. A 2016 study suggests otherwise, concluding that colonization of the microbiota may start before birth. At the same time, for the first twelve months of life, a baby’s gut microbiota is compositionally simple yet integral for long-term health and shaping the adult microbiota. bit.ly/BabyMicrobiota

PrepZymes’ Cultured Enzymes
The word “cultured” is not always defined as having good taste, manners, upbringing or an education. The cultured enzymes in PrepZymes means that they have been cultivated, strained off and purified to remove any remaining bacteria, fungi or yeasts. It also means PrepZymes’ enzymes are active in both acidic and alkaline environments, so they remain digestively effective. Foods that are not being properly digested indicate that their sources of vitamins, minerals and other nutrients are not fully utilized and literally going to waste. With its unique formulation, PrepZymes boosts the presence of enzymes to support food digestion.
Gas, bloating and abdominal pain may be symptoms of a digestive enzyme deficiency. Growing food crops in depleted soil and irradiating foods reduces enzyme levels that would otherwise be normally present. Naturally occurring enzymes in food can also be degraded during preparation, cooking and processing. PrepZymes is a dietary supplement that can help correct enzyme imbalances in all forms of food.
All of the festive feasts enjoyed during the holiday season can use the extra support of PrepZymes: digestive help at any meaL...any time of the year.

Salmon vs. BioVivify In the USA, the average yearly intake of astaxanthin from salmon is only 11 mg. One container of BioVivify provides 180 mg of astaxanthin!
Collagen’s Amino Acids and Vitamin C Collagen is a protein that plays a pivotal role in skin structure and function. The amino acids L-proline, glycine and L-lysine and vitamin C are essential for the synthesis of collagen. The alpha-chain structures in collagen require the presence of L-proline and glycine while vitamin C is a cofactor in the hydroxylation of alpha chains, providing structure for collagen. L-lysine contributes to collagen’s tensile strength.
BioVivify’s inclusion of vitamin B7, also known as biotin, can stimulate the production of keratin in your hair and increase the rate of hair follicle growth. wb.md/3O1ClLA

heart health
AIMega
provides heart-healthy, plantbased omega-3 and -6 fatty acids that are essential for the function and structure of cells in all body systems. The most important thing to understand about omega-3 and -6 is that if you are not getting them from your dietary intake, then you are depriving yourself of healthy fats that are absolutely essential for keeping your entire body healthy down to the cellular level. The human body lacks the enzymatic ability to synthesize omega-3 and -6. Taking AIMega daily is a convenient way to maintain a dietary intake of both nutrients. doi.org/10.1503%2Fcmaj.071356
Alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) is the parent fatty acid of omega-3, meaning other forms such as DHA and EPA get converted from a plant-based supply. It’s likely that ALA is the plant kingdom’s most abundant source of polyunsaturated fatty acid. And one of the richest sources of ALA is the flax plant, the organic seed oils of which provide the omega-3 in the AIMega formulation.

Key Benefits and Features • May help maintain cardiovascular health • Provides all the benefits of regular garlic and more • May increase immune health • Exhibits antioxidant activity
Garlic Compounds
Garlic contains two primary organosulfur compounds credited with providing health benefits: L-cysteine sulfoxides and γ-glutamyl peptides. L-cysteine sulfoxides generate allicin, a chemical compound that gives garlic its distinctive odor and taste. The γ-glutamyl peptides are even higher in wild garlic leaves than in the bulbs, giving GarlicAIM’s combination of garlic leaves and two types of bulbs a healthy edge over the competition.

Stress Relief
One of the important health benefits from taking GinkgoSense is its effectiveness in supporting balanced levels of cortisol, a hormone secreted by the adrenal glands when a person is under stress. Ashwagandha can help regulate adrenal function and lower elevated cortisol levels. Curcumin also has a lowering effect on cortisol levels and reduces inflammation related to the excessive presence of cortisol in the bloodstream. The inflammation-fighting piperine in black pepper extract significantly enhances the absorption of curcumin. doi.org/10.3390/nu15245015 doi.org/10.1007/s00394-019-01916-7
Vision Maintenance The ingredients lutein and zeaxanthin derived from marigold flower extracts deliver vital compounds for eye health. Both carotenoids naturally accumulate in the macula and lens of the eye, protecting the retina from the potential damage of highenergy blue light and free radicals. Lutein and zeaxanthin work synergistically with gingko biloba’s flavonoids and terpenoids that act as antioxidants to protect the retinas from free radical damage.
Memory and Cognition
Brain-supportive ingredients that include ashwagandha, curcumin and ginkgo biloba are assisted by the presence of ginger root. Evidence-based research has shown ginger enhances both attention and cognitive capabilities, adding to the memory health benefits of GinkgoSense. doi.org/10.1155/2012/383062

Did You Know . . . ? Digesting protein bumps up your metabolism and the burning of calories. Pea protein is absorbed at a rate of 2.9 grams per hour, contributing to an accelerated metabolism and calorie burning over several hours.
Burn more calories than your daily nutritional intake. Drinking a ProPeas beverage up to three times a day helps reduce your caloric intake. With only 60 calories per serving, ProPeas helps to make you feel satiated for hours. Why? Pea protein is digested slowly, which increases levels of endocrine hormones that send “I’m full!” signals to your brain. Not feeling hungry makes you eat and drink less. 31
