For many centuries, civilizations around the world have used Aloe Vera for its health benefits. The miraculous aloe leaf contains over 75 nutritional components and 200 other compounds, including 20 minerals, 18 amino acids and 12 vitamins. Among more than 200 types the most nutritionally potent is the Aloe Barbadensis Miller (Aloe Vera) – the only variety that we cultivate and use in our products*. Our natural, patented stabilization process allows our aloe to reach our consumers in its natural state.
(*We were the first company to receive the prestigious International Aloe Science Council Seal of Approval for consistency and purity).
Often known as the ‘miracle’ or ‘burns plant’ many people have become familiar with Aloe Vera recently, but it has in fact been around for thousands of years. It can be seen in Egyptian Papyrus writings going back over 5000 years and it is also said to have been used by the ancient Chinese and Indian cultures. The Egyptian Queens Nefertiti and Cleopatra are both said to have rated it highly as a beauty therapy. Cleopatra felt aloe was from “the fountain of youth”.
Aloe Vera flourishes in warm and dry climates, and many people mistake it for a cactus, but in fact it is a member of the Lily family. When the plant is mature the contents of its leaves, a mixture of sap and gel, can be harvested, preserved and bottled as a nutritional drink or combined with other ingredients to produce topical creams and lotions to nourish and improve the skin.
As a drink Aloe Vera works with our immune system, replenishing nutrients from the vast range it contains, including vitamins, minerals, amino acids and enzymes. Poor diet, stress, caffeine and over-processed foods can all lead to less than tip-top health. Aloe Vera can help redress the balance with its wealth of essential nutrients.
