Stress
The nervous system controls communication in the body. Its leader is the
brain, which allows us to think, decide, control our actions, and coordinate the
ability to move, touch, smell, hear, and see. As with any body system, good
nutrition plays an important part in seeing that the good health of the nervous
system is maintained. AIM Composure® helps maintain your neuro health,
especially in regard to dealing efficiently with stress.
Everyone experiences stress. But what triggers it is different in everyone.
Personality, genes, and experiences all influence how we deal with stress.
Whatever the cause, stress is a factor in many diseases. Stress may aggravate an
existing health problem, or trigger an illness if you’re at risk for the
condition. Various surveys estimate that stress contributes to 80 percent of
major illnesses such as cardiovascular disease, digestive diseases (ulcers,
ulcerative colitis), mental disorders, injuries, nervous system and
sensory-organ diseases, musculoskeletal diseases, cancers, endocrine and
metabolic diseases, skin disorders, and infectious ailments of all kinds.
Although we do not completely understand how illness and stress interact,
researchers are looking into it. Indeed, the field of psychoneuroimmunology has
emerged, which focuses on how the central nervous system and immune system
influence each other during stress. Whatever the cause of stress, the body’s
physical response to stress is similar to its reaction to a physical threat.
Your body reacts to face the “challenge”: - A hormone called corticotropin-releasing
factor stimulates the pituitary land to release adrenocorticotrophic hormone
(ACTH). This signals your adrenal gland to release more hormones, including
adrenaline and cortisol. - Adrenaline and cortisol prepare your body to respond
to stress. Your heart beats faster, breathing quickens, and blood pressure
rises. - Blood carrying oxygen and nutrients is redirected to organs that need
more energy to function with stress, such as your brain and muscles. Less blood
goes to your stomach and skin. - Potential energy sources—blood sugar (glucose)and
fat—are released into your blood. Fibrin, a chemical that causes blood to clot
more easily, is also released, perhaps to slow or stop bleeding in case of
injury. Many of these physical changes can hurt your health over a long period
of time.
Immune system: Cortisol produced during the stress response may suppress your
immune system, increasing your susceptibility to infectious diseases. Studies
suggest the incidence f bacterial infections such as tuberculosis and group A
streptococcal disease increase during stress. Stress may also make you prone to
upper respiratory viral infections such as the common cold or flu.
Cardiovascular disease: Under acute stress, your heart beats quickly, making you
more susceptible to angina (a type of chest pain) and heart rhythm
irregularities. When stress persists, increased blood clotting as a result of
the stress response can put you at risk or a heart attack or stroke. Other
relationships between illness and stress aren’t as clear-cut. But stress may
worsen symptoms if you’re prone to certain conditions: Asthma: If you have
asthma, a stressful situation can trigger an attack, in which spasms, narrowing
of the bronchial passages, and swelling of their mucous lining cause obstruction
of breathing. Gastrointestinal problems: Stress can make your symptoms worse if
you have a gastrointestinal disorder such as an ulcer or irritable bowel
syndrome. To help combat stress, change whatever factors you can. If possible,
get out of the stressful situation. If that is not possible, there are a number
of things you can do: Exercise regularly: The natural decrease in adrenaline
production after exercise may counteract the stress response. People who are
physically fit handle stress better.
Relax: Techniques such as guided imagery, meditation, muscle relaxation, and
relaxed breathing can help you relax. You can also focus on hobbies or
activities you find calming. Find a friend: Having friends and family members
for support makes dealing with stress easier. Eat a good diet: Be sure you get:
• nutrients that help your adrenal glands, which stimulate the liver to convert
glycogen (stored sugar) to glucose. These nutrients include pantothenic acid,
vitamin C, and potassium.
• nutrients that help fight infection that could result when ill or stressed.
These nutrients include vitamin C, vitamin E, and potassium.
• nutrients that help keep the thymus, which produces the T cells that fight
disease, from shrinking and working less in times of stress. These nutrients
include vitamin A, vitamin C, and zinc.
• nutrients that are known to help out in times of stress. These include B
vitamins and magnesium.
AIM Composure® is a special blend of the extracts and whole herbs of eight herbs
that work together to help you in times of stress. You may find yourself more
relaxed and, when combined with a healthy diet, experience a healthy sense of
well-being. Many of the individual herbs in AIM Composure® also contain
flavonoids. Flavonoids are chemical compounds found in fruits, vegetables, nuts,
and seeds that often have beneficial effects. Flavonoids have been found to
stimulate the immune system, and their ongoing study may contribute to a better
understanding of the effects of the environment on our immune system and on the
development and control of allergies.
FAQ
Why do you use herbal extracts and whole herbs?
The AIM Composure® formula is made up of four herbal extracts and four whole
herbs. For alfalfa, marshmallow root, oatstraw, and passionflower, the extracts
are spray-dried back on to the whole herb and they are ground. For Irish moss,
shavegrass, yucca, and slippery elm bark, the whole herb is simply ground. Upon
research, AIM found these four herbs to be as or more beneficial than extracts
in whole herb form. Using both the extraction and spray-drying process and whole
herbs also means that we use significantly less maltodextrin. AIM uses both
extracts and whole herbs for AIM Composure® because we want to provide the range
of relaxing benefits of these herbs without a lofty price.
These herbs are also in AIM Herbal Fiberblend®. Why don’t I just take this?
AIM Composure® was created because so many people experienced benefits from the
herbs in AIM Herbal Fiberblend® and asked us to give them the herbs without the
fiber. You can, of course, take AIM Herbal Fiberblend® and get some of the
herbal effect.
Can I take AIM Composure® with AIM Herbal Fiberblend® or other AIM products?
Yes, you can take AIM Composure® with other AIM products. Taking AIM Composure®
with AIM Herbal Fiberblend® will enhance the herbal benefits of AIM Composure®.
Will this product make me sleepy?
Some people do experience this effect, while others do not.
Do I need to take AIM Composure® every day?
The needs of each individual vary. Some people feel it is useful to take AIM
Composure® only during times of stress. Others use it regularly as part of an
overall health program. AIM Composure® should be used daily during the period of
supplementation in which you choose to use it (as opposed to taking it two times
per week or whenever you feel like using it). There is no problem with daily use
of AIM Composure® from a safety point of view.
Is it better to take AIM Composure® during the day, or should I only take it at
night?
Take AIM Composure® when you feel it is needed. Some people take it during the
day to help with stressful situations, and others take it in the evening to help
relax.

AIM Composure® uses a combination of eight ingredients to assist with neuro
health and to help with stress related issues. They include:
Alfalfa Affects: stomach, blood Alfalfa is one of the green grasses, which
are some of the most nutritionally rich foods there are. It is a source of
chlorophyll, vitamins, including A, D, E, K, and beta carotene, and minerals,
including selenium. It is especially rich in minerals, as it pulls up nutrients
from root depths
as great as 130 feet. It is also an effective overall tonic used for rebuilding
the body after serious or prolonged weakness or illness.
Irish Moss Affects: lungs, kidneys, skin Irish moss contains 15 of the 18
elements composing the human body. It contains vitamins A, D, E, and K and is
also high in iodine and calcium.
Marshmallow Root Affects: intestines, kidneys, bladder Marshmallow root
derives its botanical name from the Greek word altho, which means “to heal.”
Humbart Santillo, in Natural Healing with Herbs, calls marshmallow root a
nutritive. Michael Castleman, in The Healing Herbs, notes that it is a digestive
aid. It also has a calming effect on the body.
Oatstraw Affects: nerves, uterus, stomach, lungs Research has shown that oat
bran, and to a lesser extent oatmeal, may help reduce high blood cholesterol.
Oats contain flavonoids, a number of minerals, vitamins B1, B2, D, E, and
carotene, as well as wheat protein. It is a natural relaxant. Santillo, in
Natural Healing with Herbs, notes that oatstraw is good for the nerves, and
Penelope Ody, in The Complete Medicinal Herbal, notes that it may help with
depression.
Passionflower Affects: nerves, circulation Passionflower was used by Native
Americans to soothe the nerves, and it has been used more recently for
hyperactivity, insomnia, Parkinson’s disease, and nervous tension. Its
constituents – maltol, ethyl-maltol, and some flavonoids – are potentially
sedating, and another constituent, passi-florine, reportedly promotes calmness
and ability to sleep. In Europe, passionflower is used in sedative preparations.
Shavegrass (Horsetail grass) Affects: kidneys, blood, heart, and lungs
Shavegrass is a member of one of the oldest groups of plants on earth. The
plant’s success can be attributed o its ability to grow in poor soil with
minimum moisture. It has been used both internally and externally since the 16th
century, usually as a powder. As an herb, the entire plant is used. It contains
flavonoids and minerals.
Slippery Elm Bark Affects: whole body Slippery elm bark was used by Native
Americans as a skin ointment. It heals burns, wounds, and poison ivy. It also
boosts the adrenal glands and respiratory system, and draws out impurities.
Castleman, in The Healing Herbs, and Ody, in The Complete Medicinal Herbal, cite
the bark as being good for digestion. It neutralizes stomach acids.
Yucca Affects: blood The yucca is a cactus-like succulent common to the
western United States and most of Mexico. It helps reduce inflammation and pain
in joints. Native Americans have used it for centuries as a soap. Shampoo made
from the root helps with dandruff and scalp conditions.
