Benefits of AIM Proancynol 2000 ®:

Free radicals are highly reactive forms of oxygen that damage cells
throughout the body. As your body creates energy at the cellular level,
oxygen is metabolized, changing its structure. In this process, the oxygen
molecule loses one electron, turning it into a free radical. Free
radicals also are created through detoxifying rancid fats and chemicals,
such as drugs, food additives, and preservatives; and by cigarette smoke,
pollutants, sunlight, radiation, and emotional stress.

Green tea

The antioxidants found in green tea are polyphenolic catechins. The best
known of these are epicatchin (EC), epigallocatechin (EGC), epicatechin
gallate (ECG), and epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG). Each of these
molecules is an increasingly potent antioxidant. EC cannot neutralize as
many free radicals as EGC, which cannot neutralize as many free radicals as
ECG, which cannot neutralize as many free radicals as EGCG.

In laboratory studies presented at a September 1997 meeting of the American
Chemical Society, EGCG proved to be 100 times more effective at
neutralizing free radicals than vitamin C and 25 times more effective than
vitamin E.

Research does suggest that this antioxidant power may translate into
helping to maintain immunity. In animal studies conducted in Japan in the
early 1990s, green tea polyphenols increased activation of macrophages, B
lymphocytes, T lymphocytes, and natural killer cells. All of these are
white blood cells, which are the "foot soldiers" of the immune system.

Even the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has published articles on green
tea. The March 1996 issue of the FDA Consumer states that "recent
studies do show some evidence that polyphenols - chemicals in tea with
antioxidant and other biochemical properties - may, in fact, have value in
protecting against some serious ailments."

Grape Seed Extract

Grape seed extract contains powerful antioxidants known as oligomers of
proanthocyanidins (OPCs). Some studies say that POCs are 20 times more
powerful than vitamin C and 50 times more powerful than vitamin E. Grape
seed is one traditional source of OPCs, although they are present
throughout the plant world.

Scientific studies have shown the OPCs inhibit the mutation of DNA.
Chronic degenerative diseases are believed to be a result of environmental
mutagens. OPCs may be able to counter these mutagens.
OPCs also have a "cosmetic" value. They protect collagen and elastin,
which are an important part of the skin. They are what give skin its
strength, elasticity, and smoothness. When these are damaged, wrinkles
result. OPCs help restore damaged collagen and elastin and protect them
from further damage.

N-acetylcysteine (NAC)

N-acetylcysteine (NAC) is a powerful antioxidant which has been used since
the 1960s as a mucolytic - that is, a substance that breaks up mucus,
especially in lung tissue. It has also been used for years in hospital
emergency rooms to counteract acetaminophen poisoning.

Clinical trials in Europe have indicated that NAC may also offer protection
against the flu and flulike symptoms.

NAC provides benefits because it helps increase the levels of one of the
body's most important and most powerful antioxidants: glutathione. The
body itself produces glutathione to help it deal with the free radicals
generated as part of our own metabolism. N-acetylcysteine is used by the
body to create more of this powerful and indispensable antioxidant.
Research into NAC also indicates that it may enhance the production of
human T-cells, an important part of the immune system.

Alpha-lipoic acid

Alpha-lipoic acid is a "new" antioxidant that may be the most
important of all antioxidants. It is the only antioxidant that is both
water-soluble and fat-soluble. This means that it can access all parts of
our cells, which have both water-soluble and fat-soluble components. This
enhances its ability to destroy free radicals throughout the entire cell.

Alpha-lipoic acid also works with other antioxidant to boost their levels.
When you take alpha-lipoic acid, you are also increasing your levels of
vitamins C and E, glutathione, and coenzyme Q10.

Alpha-lipoic acid is especially powerful as an anti-aging substance.

Glycation is the process in which protein in the body reacts with excess
blood sugar (glucose). This damage is as detrimental to our health as that
caused by free radicals. Alpha-lipoic acid may keep blood sugar under
control, which reduces glycation, and thus slows the aging process. Both
free radicals and glycation affect the appearance of proteins found in the
skin. Thus, a secondary benefit of alpha-lipoic acid is that we look
"young for our age."

Selenium, rosemary extract, and lycopene

Selenium is an antioxidant mineral. It works together with other
antioxidant enzymes to fight free radicals. Selenium is very important
because it forms part of the structure of the important antioxidant enzyme
glutathionine peroxidase, which in turn recycles glutathione. Selenium may
also protect against cancers and cardiovascular disease.

Rosemary extract is increasingly under scrutiny for its antioxidant
properties. Like other antioxidants, it inhibits and fights free radicals.
Recent studies show that rosemary extract, and its constituents carnosol
and ursolic acid, enhances the activity of enzymes that can detoxify
carcinogens: animal studies show that the extract results in an increase
in glutathione-S-transferase, one of these enzymes. Other animal studies
have indicated a beneficial effect on the promotion of skin and mammary
tumors.

Lycopene, an antioxidant carotenoid found in abundance in tomatoes, has
been found to be twice as effective as beta carotene and 100 times more
effective than vitamin E in counteracting the free radical singlet oxygen.
Singlet oxygene is a dangerous free radical. Lycopene first received
attention when it was discovered that it significantly reduces the risk of
developing prostate cancer.

AIM Proancynol 2000®

AIM Proancynol® combines the proven antioxidants found in green tea and
grape seed extracts with powerful antioxidant "newcomers" N-acetylcysteine
and alpha-lipoic acid, as well as rosemary extract, selenium, and lycopene.

The power of synergy

What makes AIM Proancynol 2000® powerful is the synergy between its various

FAQ:

Who should use AIM Proancynol 2000®?

Anyone who is concerned with overall health and a healthy immune system.
AIM Proancynol 2000® is especially suited to those who have a lifestyle that
may generate more free radicals than normal. This would include living in
polluted environments, smoking, or participating in extensive exercise
(exercise creates free radicals).

Is there anyone who should not take AIM Proancynol 2000®?

There are no known safety considerations concerning the ingredients in AIM
Proancynol 2000®. However, due to the alpha-lipoic acid present, diabetics
should monitor their blood sugar levels. Pregnant women and people who are
using other medications or who have serious health problems should always
consult their health practitioners when adding new substances to their diet.

Does the green tea extract contain caffeine?

The green tea used in AIM Proancynol 2000® is decaffeinated using a water
filtration-decaffeination process. Like all decaffeinated products, some
amounts of caffeine remain.

What can you tell me about the ingredients found in AIM Proancynol 2000®?

The extracts (green tea, grape seed, and rosemary) are obtained by using an
alcohol and water extraction process. Although the original plants are not
organically grown, any impurities that were present in the raw materials
are not present in the finished product. The grape seeds are derived from
both red and white grapes. The rosemary is standardized to 6 percent
carnosic acid. The alpha-lipoic acid is derived from potatoes.
