Aloe Vera
[Intestinal, Skin] is a nutritional
storehouse, naturally containing several vitamins plus 18 amino
acids, in addition to many other dietary factors. It soothes the
skin and the tissues lining the digestive tract. It contains many
biologically active compounds that support the digestion and
absorption of food and nourish the intestinal system.
Many companies manufacture aloe vera, but most products on
the market have lost much of the plant's original benefits
due to over-processing. Beware of aloe vera juice that claims to
have no disagreeable taste. Removing this taste can leave you
with a product that is only 10 to 15 percent aloe vera at
best.
NSP aloe vera is processed in a special way to avoid the loss
of essential vitamins, minerals and other constituents. The leaf
is filleted; then the green outer portion that contains aloin is
removed, leaving the gel that remains in the leaf. The gel
remains thick when the leaf is first cut, but after a few
minutes, an enzymatic reaction causes it to become liquid and
freely run out. It is this 100 percent pure liquid that NSP
collects. To prevent bacterial contamination, we add sodium
benzoate as a preservative. Sodium benzoate is effective in very
small quantities, and it properly and safely preserves aloe vera
juice.
NSP Whole Leaf Aloe Vera provides a higher level of
mucopolysaccharides than regular filleted aloe vera. Only the
intense cleansing components have been removed, leaving a high
level of mucopolysaccharides (7,000 mg per liter). Used
externally, aloe is known for its hydrating and moisturizing
properties. Shake well before use and refrigerate after
opening.
For external use, try Aloe Vera Gel. The gel is created by
adding a gelling agent, Irish moss extract, to the juice. Aloe
vera gel spreads on quickly and moisturizes, leaving no
stickiness. Apply Aloe Vera Gel to the skin as desired for its
moisturizing and toning properties.
For best results, drink 2 to 6 oz. Aloe Vera Juice daily as
is or mixed with water or juice. Or, drink 1 oz. Whole Leaf Aloe
Vera Juice mixed with 8 oz. of water or juice 4 times
daily.
Aloe Vera, Freeze Dried provides the same benefits as liquid
Aloe Vera Juice but in capsulated form. Freeze-drying removes
water content while maintaining the full botanical value of Aloe
Vera. Each capsule contains 150 mg freeze-dried aloe vera and is
equivalent to 1 fluid ounce of 100% Aloe Vera juice. Take 1 or 2
capsules with a meal three times daily.
