AIM ReAssure ®
Pollen extract for men's health
ReAssure 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 ReAssure, both fat-soluble and water-soluble
components are isolated and extracted.
What about the pollen extract in ReAssure?
The pollen in ReAssure 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 ReAssure?
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 ReAssure
can help maintain men’s health and prostate health.
How to use ReAssure
-
Take 1 to 2 tablets
at breakfast and dinner. You may take more or less, depending

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 ReAssure 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 ReAssure 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 ReAssure with other AIM products?
Yes, you can. However, we caution taking ReAssure
with Herbal Fiberblend. The fiber in Herbal Fiberblend may inhibit the absorption of Herbal Fiberblend. Thus,
we recommend that you take ReAssure 30 minutes before or one hour after taking Herbal 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.
