AIM LeafGreens

AIM uses an exclusive ultra cold filtration technique. The juice is chilled to below 44 degrees Fahrenheit and concentrated through a series of filters. The ultra cold filtration unit pushes water, salt, sugars, and some potassium through a semi-permeable, thin layer membrane.

Substances are separated when pressure is applied across the membrane, concentrating the remaining leaf juices. With the removal of these unwanted compounds, the juice can be further concentrated to create a viscous slurry of leaf juice. This slurry is then spray-dried into a powder at a low temperature. This mechanical process uses no chemicals or additives, the only addition is pressure.

Through this concentration process, it takes 44 pounds of leaves to make one pound of AIM LeafGreens™. More leaves equal more nutrition.

One 6 gram serving (2 teaspoons) provides:

• 50% protein (alkalizing and plant based).  Protein is the building block of muscle, skin, blood and internal organs.  Most dietary protein is from animal sources (some from seed).  Animal proteins are high in sulphur, which can increase the acidity of the blood (acidosis).  Calcium is reabsorbed from our bones to neutralize acidosis.  This results in bone loss.  Furthermore, an acidic system opens the door to disease.  AIM LeafGreensTM plant-based protein alkalizes the blood, which prevents bone loss and protects your body from disease.
• Vitamin A – over 70% of the RDI – plus nearly 5 mg of lutein (carotenoid) – supports vision, healthy skin and hair, proper bone growth and tooth development.
• Vitamin K – 508% of the RDI – crucial to healthy bone density, may help to prevent the hardening of arteries and moderate blood glucose levels.
• Iron – 84% of the RDI – major component of haemoglobin) – involved in the delivery of oxygen throughout the body. 
• Chromium (26%)
• Manganese (14%)
• Calcium (6%)
• Magnesium (4%)
• Quercetin (flavonoid) – reduces inflammation and allergies, helps with symptoms of Fibromyalgia and rheumatoid arthritis, prevents abnormal (blood) clotting
• Kaempferol (flavonoid) – reduces the incidence of heart disease, inhibits the oxidation of low-density lipoprotein (LDL…bad cholesterol), moderates blood glucose levels, suppresses oxidative stress (free radical damage) that contributes to neurodegenerative diseases, improves kidney function, acts as a diuretic and natriuretic (to help with water and sodium removal).
• L-Dopa – used in the treatment of Parkinson’s disease
• Powerful antioxidants and phytochemicals to counteract disease
• Greater energy, fewer cravings and a stronger immune system
• Anti-aging properties
• No fat, no sugar, no cholesterol, low carbohydrate and low sodium
• Non-allergenic, unlike many other proteins on the market including milk and soy protein concentrates

Faba bean leaf - Viscia faba

The plant has an abundance of certain flavonoids. Unlike the synthetic form of quercetin dihydrate found in most supplements, the quercetin found in AIM LeafGreens™ occurs naturally in the leaves. Quercetin can also inhibit the aggregation of platelets (abnormal clotting), fibrin, and other blood components that cause obstruction of blood vessels.

The anti-inflammatory properties of quercetin have been researched extensively. In one study, quercetin inhibited the inflammation in joints for those with arthritis. There have been several reports of people with rheumatoid arthritis and fibromyalgia who have increased their flavonoid intakes and experienced symptom relief.

Quercetin is also involved in the reduced production of uric acid. This occurs when the flavonoid inhibits the xanthine oxidase, which can ease gout symptoms.

Dopamine is a hormone and neurotransmitter in the human body and L-Dopa, which is found in faba bean plants, is its chemical precursor. L-Dopa is helpful in the treatment of Parkinson’s disease, because it can cross the blood-brain barrier whereas dopamine cannot. It is supplemented in the diet to increase libido and human growth hormone, and combines with tyrosine to produce the natural pigment in our skin, melanin.

Field Pea Leaf - Pisum sativum

The flavonoid kaempferol is found within the field pea, faba bean, and spinach leaves. Kaempferol inhibits the oxidation of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and the formation of platelet clusters in the blood, potentially providing benefits for those with arteriosclerosis. This compound has also been found to be a component of the diuretic and natriuretic peptide (polypeptide hormones that regulate the water-sodium balance in the blood), improving urination and the functioning of the kidney cells, thus increasing permeability and circulation. Kaempferol thus improves kidney function, by moderating water retention, and blood glucose levels, which are secondary symptom of diabetes.

Spinach leaf - Spinacia oleracea

Spinach is rich in nutrients, including many essential vitamins, minerals, and potent antioxidants.
Spinach contributes much of the 70 percent daily recommended value of vitamin A, which research shows is crucial for new cell growth. AIM LeafGreens™ contains nearly 5 mg of lutein per serving. Studies show that this concentration of lutein helps protect the eye from oxidative stress and high-energy light.

Among its many documented health benefits, the spinach leaf may also aid in curbing anemia, constipation, insomnia, obesity, high blood pressure, bronchitis, dyspepsia, and, on the whole, support overall wellness.
