Here’s why we recommend our Organic Aloe Vera Gel for so many health complaints. Aloe is the most versatile plant remedy in history…

Aloe is one of the most widely used natural substances. Yet, it is important which aloe you use, because not all manufacturers are as meticulous or interested in offering the highest quality product. Most commercially produced aloe vera contains very few polysaccharides because they are destroyed in the processing by heat and enzymes. Not true with our aloe. We’ve conducted extensive research to offer you our aloe vera gel. It’s the best next to using a live plant in your garden. Aloe contains over 200 biologically active, naturally occurring constituents

Aloe gel is a powerful plant food. We use it for acne, internal problems, skin eruptions, wounds, sunburn, sore throats, infections, inflammation, low immunity and more.

Ancient records show that the medicinal properties and healing advantages of Aloe Vera have been known for over 5000 years. Ancient Chinese and Egyptians used Aloe Vera to treat burns, wounds, and to reduce fever. Cleopatra, the Egyptian Queen, credited her irresistible charm and vibrant beauty to regular use of Aloe Vera gel. Legend reports that Alexander the Great, upon the advice of Aristotle, conquered the island of Socotra off the coast of Africa to secure supplies of Aloe Vera in order to treat the wounds of soldiers. In 1944, the benefits of Aloe Vera were firmly established in the United States, when the Japanese who were exposed to the “A” bomb applied Aloe gel to their wounds and experienced faster healing with significantly less scarring.

Aloe Vera is a succulent plant member of the lily family. Aloe Barbadensis Miller is the actual botanical name for the variety grown commercially for the healing and moisturizing properties of the gel found in its leaves.

THE ACTIVE QUALITIES OF ALOE VERA
Aloe vera contains 18 amino acids, plus Vitamins A, B1, B2, B3, B6, C, and E. It also contains sodium, potassium, calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, and chloride, as well as traces of magnesium and zinc. In addition to these major constituents, aloe vera contains numerous other complex nutrients.
Aloe vera is filled with Aloe Polysaccharides which are the naturally occurring active components that promote absorption, digestive health, immune qualities, anti-inflammatory, and overall health benefits.

POLYSACCHARIDE IMPORTANCE
While Aloe researchers report that aloe vera contains over 200 biologically active constituents, the aloe polysaccharide is the main naturally occurring active constituent in aloe vera that allows all of the benefits to be activated in the body. Polysaccharides are safe in all toxicity studies, showing no side effects. In the makeup of the total solids found in aloe vera, polysaccharides represent approximately 20-25%. Most commercially produced aloe vera contains very few polysaccharides because they are destroyed in the processing by heat and enzymes. When they are broken in processing, they become simple sugars, and the body will not absorb them. These glycol-nutrients are sugar molecules linked together like a string of beads.

CERTIFIED ORGANIC ALOE VERA
As aloe vera is a succulent plant, it directly absorbs water from the surrounding soil system. If the soil contains herbicides, pesticides, or other chemicals, the artificial chemicals would be directly absorbed into the leaves and could cause damage to the nutrients in the plant. Our aloe vera does not contain any herbicides, pesticides, or harsh chemicals.

COMMON USES FOR ALOE VERA TO IMPROVE OVERALL HEALTH
Aloe Vera helps support a healthy immune system, as well as many other natural body functions. It is great as a part of a daily healthy maintenance regimen. It also works great to take in conjunction with daily vitamins and herbal supplementation.

• GASTROINTESTINAL SYSTEM: promotes healthy digestion throughout the entire digestive tract including the esophagus, stomach, small & large intestines, and the colon. It helps restore and promote regularity.
• MUSCLE AND JOINT SUPPORT: helps support normal muscle, tissue, and joint functions.
• ORAL HYGIENE: helps maintain healthy gums, mouth, and throat environment.
• TOPICAL APPLICATION: effective for minor abrasions, acne, burns, cold sores, cuts, dry skin, insect bites, scrapes, skin moisturizer, and sunburn.

EXTERNAL BENEFITS
Aloe researchers report that Aloe can penetrate through 3 epidermal layers of the skin when used topically. It provides the benefit of driving nutrients and other constituents into the deeper layers of the skin, which promotes epidermal health.

• Sunburn relief
• Burn and Wound relief
• Anti-inflammatory
• Skin Moisturizer

INTERNAL BENEFITS
DIGESTIVE HEALTH SUPPORT

• Orally, aloe vera provides a thin layer of nutritional coating in the lining of the stomach, esophagus, and gastrointestinal tract that remain intact for forty-eight hours. This coating serves as the foundation allowing polysaccharides to enter into the digestive tract with the other naturally occurring constituents and begin the healing process.
• Our aloe vera contains no more than 1-4 ppm of anthraquoine to support constipation and regularity.
• Recent studies have shown that aloe vera can promote tissue and cell regeneration and a healthy digestive system including support of: Acid Reflux, Heartburn, IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome), and Constipation.

ANTI-INFLAMMATORY SUPPORT

• Studies confirm that aloe vera contains glucomannans, a special cell-surface receptor which repair damaged tissue.
• Plant hormones in aloe vera called auxins and gibberellins accelerate healing by stimulating cell replication.
• The combination of salicylic acid and magnesium work together like an analgesic to soothe and relieve pain on contact.
• The sodium in aloe vera helps prevent calcium build up in joints and bones.
• The absorption benefits allow the penetration and absorption of other active constituents to maximize their known benefits of joint and anti-inflammatory properties.
• Dr. Ian Tizard of Texas A & M University showed that aloe has a second anti-inflammatory mechanism by blocking certain bacteria or viruses that invade the body. Evidence has been presented to show that certain aloe-derived carbohydrates bind specifically to carbohydrate-binding sites. In doing this, they significantly reduce swelling and redness in some models of experimental inflammation.

IMMUNE SUPPORT

• Macrophages are specific cells of the Immune System. Studies show that aloe has a stimulating effect of the acetylated mannan (polysaccharides) on this primary cell, and that macrophages interact with other cells within the immune system to play a vital role in the body’s defense system.
• Studies show that Polysaccharides may increase the action of white blood cells, thus increasing the production or what is referred to as the “Killer” in T-cells.
• Researchers report that aloe vera has been proven to enhance the immune system’s response to cancer by promoting the growth of new and healthy cells and reducing the overall viral load within the body thereby revitalizing the body in its fight against cancer.
• Researchers repot that aloe vera can help reduce the damage to immune system cells when radiation and chemotherapy are used, which is critical in the body’s recovery.
• Aloe may support Immune Depressed conditions.

SKIN HEALTH

• Studies show that aloe vera can penetrate 3 epidermal layers of the skin.
• High polysaccharide aloe vera gel may improve absorption of other botanical herbs and vitamins.
• Wound healing studies report that aloe vera interacts with cell surface receptors to repair fibrolast, stimulating faster growth and replication.
• Normal skin cells are replaced in 180 – 200 days. Faster cell growth means healthier skin. Aloe vera can promote healthier skin.
• Typically, aloe vera products should contain a significant quantity of aloe vera in the formula (30% – 99%) to be most effective on human skin.
• Most aloe topical products at retail stores contain less than 1% – 10% aloe vera in creams, lotions, and other body products. Our products contain up to 99% organic aloe vera.
