Take It to Heart

Introduced back in 1996, AIM CellSparc 360® provides plant-sourced coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), a natural nutrient that provides antioxidant properties, decreases the risk of blood clots, and sparks cellular energy. The heart requires an enormous amount of energy to beat over a lifetime, so sufficient amounts of CoQ10 are vital for staying alive. Although CoQ10 is naturally produced by the body, the aging process reduces levels of this crucial nutrient.Continue reading “Take It to Heart”

AIM Energizes at Any Age

Low Vitamin D: High Rate of Cognitive Decline

Vitamin D deficiency–alongside magnesium, potassium and folate to name just a few–is one of the most common nutritional deficiencies.

Low levels of vitamin D have been linked toContinue reading “Low Vitamin D: High Rate of Cognitive Decline”

Cocoa Flavanols Linked to Healthy Veins

If you’re into beet juice–like AIM’s RediBeets–then you probably already know the value of healthy veins.  The endothelial lining of your veins is where dietary-nitrate derived nitric oxide–now thought to be as fundamental to respiration as oxygen and carbon dioxide–is produced. It’s a vasodilator, helping blood flow easily throughout the body and lowering blood pressure, too.Continue reading “Cocoa Flavanols Linked to Healthy Veins”

I was too tiredContinue reading “The Best Day of My Life”
