"WHOLE
LEAF" Aloe Vera Drinks Myth
Unlike
the pure inner aloe vera gel found inside the aloe vera leaf, the rind of the
aloe vera leaf has essentially no nutritional
value. This means that the presence of the rind in aloe
vera products such
as aloe vera drinks is little more than useless 'filler'. Why pay for filler
that is of essentially no benefit when you should get only the pure,
inner aloe vera gel?
The
promotion of "whole leaf" aloe vera products with the rind included,
as being more beneficial in some way, is simply incorrect and
misleading. (See picture of inner aloe vera gel, with the rind
removed,
to the left.)
It
goes without saying (but we will, anyway!) that it
takes more time, effort, resources, and money to remove the outer rind than to
use a "throw-it-all-in-a-blender" method. The final product of just the pure inner
aloe vera gel more than justifies the extra labor and costs needed for a superior, quality,
aloe vera gel product.
Now
let's turn our attention to "Powdered" aloe vera.
The
various processes used (freezing, air drying, chemicals, etc.) can alter
and even destroy the natural benefits of Aloe vera gel. You simply do not
know what you are getting, nor can you be assured of quality control.
(A significant amount of powdered and concentrated aloe vera comes from
countries where even minimum quality standards are not enforced.
And, you have no idea how long shipped aloe vera has been just sitting
in the container.)
If
you feel you MUST purchase powdered and/or concentrated aloe vera, do a great
deal of homework first. (Do not e-mail questions to us regarding
powdered or concentrated aloe vera. We simply do not recommend
powdered aloe vera nor concentrated aloe vera.)
You
want aloe vera
juice and other products made from the pure, inner, aloe vera gel that do not have the useless leaf rind "filler",
and that are not watered down, as is so often the case with aloe vera drinks found in
expensive health food
stores and elsewhere.
You
want only 100% stabilized aloe vera juice and skin care products
that are carefully packaged so that both light and oxygen are blocked
from the aloe gel contents. Light and oxygen break down the
beneficial properties of Aloe vera gel . . . avoid aloe vera juices that
are bottled in clear or translucent (opaque) containers.

The good news is that with
these 100%
stabilized, fresh, potent, aloe vera drinks, just
two to four ounces, twice a day is sufficient for the wealth of vitamins,
enzymes, and minerals found in Aloe Vera Gel.
