Features
A powerful pollen extract for men’s health
AIMReAssure™ is an
extensively tested product for overall men’s health. This unique product, which
capitalizes on the power of pollen extract, is an excellent supplement to support
men’s health as they age.
What is pollen extract?
Pollen is the substance found in plants that fertilizes other, like
plants. It consists of fine, powdery, yellowish grains or spores, sometimes in masses.
A pollen extract should not be confused with bee pollen. Bee pollen is
gathered from bees and remains much as it was gathered, as a “whole pollen.” In
a pollen extract, pollen is gathered from a plant and then is further refined in the
laboratory. This removes all allergens and concentrates specific components of the pollen.
In the case of AIMReAssure™,
both fat-soluble and water-soluble components are isolated and extracted.
What about the pollen extract in AIMReAssure™?
The pollen in AIMReAssure™
is gathered from the rye plant. Specially cultivated fields, located in Sweden, are
carefully monitored. Air surveillance is often used to determine the best time to harvest.
Once the optimum harvest time is chosen, meshes are moved through the fields to trap the
pollen.
From here, a proprietary method is used to extract active substances
from the rye pollen. It takes about 10,000 plant tops to produce 1 kg (2.2 lb) of pollen
extract. This process also guarantees that all allergens are removed from the pollen; when
you use pollen extract, there are no side effects.
What about the history?
One of the pioneers of pollen extracts is Gösta Carlsson, a 79-year-old
Swedish researcher. Carlsson has devoted his life to the study of pollen, first beginning
in the mid-1920s when he was a young boy.
As a youngster, Carlsson began studying bee hives—he wanted to know
how bees live. From this study, he began to understand the value of pollen, both to bees
and as a supplement for people.
Carlsson watched how bees work—how they gather pollen, how they use
pollen from different types of plants, and how it is used in the hive. He came to
recognize that the pollen found in different plants is of different quality—some
plants produce a higher quality pollen than others. He realized that if he could collect
pollen and bring it to the bees, that he would end up with better hives. Thus began his
research into pollen, and later pollen extracts.
Today, Carlsson remains active in pollen extract research. He is a firm
believer in the positive effect of natural diets on health: “How you live depends on
what you eat. We could live to be 120, depending on the health of the cells in our body.
The health of our cells depends on the food we eat. Pollen extract from natural plants is
one way to help your cells.”
What are the benefits of AIMReAssure™?
There have been many studies, both animal studies and clinical trials,
published on the use of pollen extracts for prostate health. The results have always shown
that pollen extracts such as AIMReAssure™
can help maintain men’s health and prostate health.
How to use AIMReAssure™
Take 1 to 2 tablets at breakfast and
dinner. You may take more or less, depending on your or a health practitioner’s
assessment of your needs. Many users start with 2 to 3 tablets at breakfast and dinner
and, after experiencing the desired results, use 1 tablet at breakfast and dinner for
maintenance.
Shelf life is 3 years, sealed. Store in
a cool, dry place (70-75 °F; 20.1-23.8 °C). Do not refrigerate.
Q & A
How does AIMReAssure™ compare to other men’s health products? Saw palmetto, often combined with zinc, is sometimes used for prostate health.
Saw palmetto affects men’s health through one mechanism, while pollen extracts such
as AIMReAssure™ work through
three mechanisms. Thus, pollen extracts may be more efficient, often producing desired
benefits in a shorter period of time than saw palmetto.
Can I take AIMReAssure™ with other AIM products?
Yes, you can. However, we caution taking AIMReAssure™ with AIMHerbal
Fiberblend™. The fiber in AIMHerbal
Fiberblend™ may inhibit the absorption of AIMHerbal Fiberblend™. Thus, we recommend that you take AIMReAssure™ 30 minutes before or one hour after taking AIMHerbal Fiberblend™.
How else can I help my prostate? Prostate health can be
affected by a number of factors, and one of them is nutrition. Drinking adequate water and
avoiding caffeine, alcohol, and spicy foods can help, as does nutritional supplementation.
Enlarged prostate tissue contains elevated levels of cholesterol and its
metabolites, so it is advisable to watch cholesterol levels. Because some studies have
shown that cultures that consume high-fat diets have higher rates of prostate problems and
that decreasing sugar consumption contributes to lower prostate problems, it is wise to
follow a low-fat, low-sugar diet.
Finally, moderate exercise, such as walking, can be helpful, as can
hydrotherapy: sitting in a hot bath for 15 to 20 minutes.
