Aloe Vera is used as an alternative therapy in the home. It has a long association with herbal medicine. The consumption of Aloe Vera has been used traditionally for centuries for soothing .
Aloe Vera - Nature's Choice
The Aloe family of plants includes over 200 varieties. Of these, it is the Aloe Barbadensis Miller (Aloe Vera) that has been of most use to man.
A succulent plant with thick fleshy leaves which conceal an inner gel, it has been used for centuries to maintain health and enhance beauty. Flourishing in warm, dry climates, both the Greeks and the Egyptians valued it highly.
The Benefits . . .
Aloe has been improving health for generations - it's tried and tested! Aloe Vera is versatile - it can be taken as a drink or applied to the skin.
Known since the beginning of recorded history as one of the most beneficial plants on earth, Aloe Vera contains over 75 known active ingredients (and probably many more). Also included are 19 of the 20 amino acids required by the human body and 7 of the 8 essential amino acids (that the body cannot make), as well as vitamins and minerals - it may even be Nature's Most Perfect Vegetable Juice. Let the legendary power of Aloe Vera change your life from the INSIDE OUT. Aloe Vera is an ideal carrier (encouraging better absorption) for the key ingredients in Forever's Aloe drinks.
Why Forever Living Products'?
Forever Living Products and its affiliates are the world's largest growers and producers of Aloe Vera and have a patented stabilisation process ensuring their Aloe is essentially identical to the inner leaf gel - providing maximum health benefits. Their Aloe is also free from herbicides and pesticides and is not pasteurised.
Aloe Vera is their number one ingredient. They don't simply add a few drops, they start with 100% inner gel and combine just enough other ingredients to keep it fresh. They use only inner gel - not the whole leaf, so they've no need to filter out the inedible ingredients of the rind. This leaves the natural balance of nutrients undisturbed.
Forever's Stabilised Gel has been declared as 'essentially identical' (Food & Drug Laboratories of New York) to the raw gel. In other words, drinking this Aloe Vera is like breaking open a leaf and scooping our the gel! Shop-bought Aloe Vera, as juices and tablets rather than a drinking gel, often contains far less Aloe Vera than their advertising would suggest. "Proof" Magazine stated that 'Forever's Aloe Gel made up 97-98% of the content' and therefore voted it 'best Aloe Vera Juice' and gave it their independent best-buy recommendation.
Forever Living Products are in complete control of the manufacture and distribution of their Aloe products - you can feel confident that everything is quality assured. Their recyclable three-layer bottles protect the integrity and potency of their Aloe so that you receive it in tip-top condition, just as it was sealed at the factory.
The Science Bit . . .
Polysaccharide.
The long chain polysaccharide in Aloe Vera acemannan is very delicate and therefore the manufacturing process should be as gentle as possible. Their patented cold stabilisation process, which does not involve either excessive filtration, concentration or excessive heat, leaves this sugar in the same state as it was in the plant.
The acemanan is not broken up by these processes which often occur in the whole leaf method of extraction. Therefore, the Aloe Gel, if taken on an empty stomach, will not be exposed to the damaging effects of the stomach juices because it passes through very quickly into the samll bowel where it is absorbed unchanged which then has the maximum effect on the immune system.
The ideal range of polysaccharide in any product should 1200-1400 mg/litre and Forever's Aloe meets or exceeds this level.
Whole Leaf Compared With Filleted Aloe Vera Inner Leaf Gel.
Many of their competitors use the whole leaf manufacturing process involving harvesting the whole plant rather than individual leaves where leaves and rind are first pulped then filtered to remove unwanted products such as the rind and sap of the plant, often called bitter aloes or aloin.
The final filtration to extract the aloin is through a carbon filter which is extremely efficient but it may be extracting other unknown beneficial ingredients. Occasionally the whole leaf system is used to make tablets resulting in even more interference with the natural ingredients.
Forever Living Products' Aloe Vera Drinks . . .
Aloe works with our immune system, replenishing the nutrients as required.
Drink any of the four options on a daily basis to assist digestion and absorption of nutrients, to add vitamins, minerals and amino acids to your diet, but above all, to promote inner health.

Discover the power . . .
Aloe Vera
Aloe Vera (Barbadensis Miller) is a cactus-like plant growing in the warmer climates of the world. It is in fact a member of the lily/onion/asparagus family of plants.
Barbadensis Miller is the most potent of all the species of aloes. Aloe Vera leaves are carefully harvested and only the prime leaves are filleted. The pure gel is carefully stabilised before being bottled. Our Aloe is also free from herbicides, pesticides, pasteurisation, freeze drying and heat treatment.
Aloe Vera contains over 200 different components, including 18 amino acids, 8 essential amino acids, vitamins and minerals - it may even be nature's most perfect vegetable juice.
Why are Forever's products unique?
Aloe Vera is the principle ingredient in all of our exclusive range of drinks and Forever Living Products own 80% of the world's cultivatable Aloe Vera crops. By contrast, many other companies adding Aloe Vera to their product, will list it right at the bottom of their ingredient listing, meaning they have only a very small percentage of Aloe Vera in their products.

Creatures in our care . . .
Aloe Vera drinks are liquid dietary foods consisting of the stabilised inner leaf gel of the plant which contains over 75 known nutrients, in a natural balance that helps maintain all the signs of a healthy animal. Suitable for all, the liquids are readily absorbed into normal feeds although some animals prefer them in their water.
The drinks maintain a healthy appetite, suppleness of joints and revitalising energy levels. Aloe Vera also has a soothing effect.
Animals are part of the family too and now they can also experience the power of Aloe Vera and be 'active for life'. Try them with the drinking gels - readily absorbed into normal feeds (although some animals prefer them in their drinking water).
Topical products such as Heat Lotion and Aloe MSM Gel and even Bee Propolis tablets can all benefit your animals, too.
