There are over 200 different species of Aloe Vera, grows mainly in dry regions
of Africa, Asia, Europe and America. Although Aloe vera is a member of the
Lily family, it is very-cactus like in its characteristics. This unique plant
also belongs to a larger plant family called Xeroids. Of the 200+ species of
Aloe vera, only four are recognized as being of nutritional value to humans
and animals. Aloe Barbendisis Miller is the top of these four. Thus, any Aloe
product you use should be from the Barbadensis species.
How it is manufactured is extremely important as well. The gel of the Aloe
plant, when exposed to oxygen for a prolonged time (around four hours or more)
oxidizes - rendering it worthless. (This is the same reaction to air as an apple
undergoes when the "insides" are exposed to air - it quickly browns due to
oxidation.) thus, you want manufacturer's reliable assurance that not only
is the species correct - but also from harvest, to filleting (removing the
outer leaf to retain only the clear gel), to manufacturing the process is four
hours or less. Royal BodyCare sets the standard for timely aloe processing.
Finally, the aloe must be "stabilized". This is a process (involving neither
heat nor chemicals) that assures the aloe (such as the final juice or gel
product) is essentially the same as if you freshly filleted the leaf yourself.
Aloe vera has five unique benefits to the human body:
Penetration to reach the deepest body tissues, some seven layers deep.Stimulates Cell Growth - stimulates the birth of new, healthy tissue.Settles Nerves.Cleanses, detoxifies and normalizes your metabolism.Antiseptic - has six antiseptic agents which kill bacteria, viruses and fungus.Aloe is a nutrient-rich plant, packed with more than 200 active components
including: vitamins, minerals, amino acids, enzymes, triglycerides and
glycoproteins, which work in synergy, each enhancing and augmenting the
activity of the oother. Aloe vera can be taken internally as an exceptionally
nutritious supplement (TRUAloe™ Juice and Aloemannan™ capsules), or externally
for its wonderful mositurizing and skin healing properties.
