Forever Living Products are the world's largest grower and distributor of Aloe Vera. FLP owns plantations in the USA and the Caribbean - both prime growing climates. Therefore we can tell you EXACTLY how and where the aloe was grown. For example, we know and can assure you that no pesticides or herbacides are used in the Aloe Vera fields.
FLP controls the whole process, from choosing which leaves are ripe for harvest, right through to the storage temperature after bottling. FLP are not dependent on any other supplier.
Our gel is extracted from freshly harvested, mature leaves and stabalized to protect it's essential nutritional content within hours. The stabalization process is patented by Forever Living Products President, Rex Maughan.
No artificial colouring or flavoring is added to the gel. As there are many harvests during the course of the year, colour and taste may vary. It has been known for some companies to add bleaching agents to their Aloe Vera products, to keep the colour consistent on the shelves all year long. We fimly believe that the colour is NATURAL and HEALTHY.
Although a large proportion of Aloe Vera fel is naturally composed of water, anybody seeing the raw gel will know that it is not a thin clear liquid. Forever Living's Aloe Vera gel is NOT homogenized or filtered. Our drinks have a rich pulp which settles and contains much of the goodness of Aloe Vera that is necessary in our daily diets. We advise you to shake the drins well to receive the full benefit from the pulp. There are some companies who offer Aloe Vera with the pulp strained, giving it the appearance of bottle water. In recent times, whole-leaf aloe vera has attracted much attention and is presented by its manufacturers as providing extra benifits, what they often avoid to mention is that in order to remove the strong laxative elements found in the outer leaf, they must pass the whole liquid through charcoal filters, which inevitably upsets the natural balance of butrients found in the gel. FLP does not have to risk the integrity of the product by subjecting the gel to this filtering process. Since the traditional, well-proven benefits of aloe vera are found in the gel, not the rind. FLP discards the useless rinds, using them as natural fertilizers in its aloe fields!
Forever Living's Aloe Vera is not boiled. Boiling or pasteurization is cheaper and faster. Excessive heat destroys the active ingredients. FLP uses only sub-pasteurization temperatures (known as 'cool processing') to ensure enzyme activity is preserved. Cool processing locks in nutrients immediately after harvesting and enables the product to retain its full potency for a greater time.

Our Aloe Vera is not reconstituted from freeze-dried gel. This is how come companies can offer 'double-strength' products and so on. Our products contain 100% stabalized Aloe Vera Gel, from plant to product to you.
100% stabalized Aloe Vera is the FIRST ingredient on the labels of our drinks, gelly and lotions.
The Food and Drug Laboratories of New York have declared that FLP's Aloe Vera Gel is like breaking open the leaf and scooping out the gel.
There is a complete retail money-back guarantee on all our products, which is not offered on most store-bought Aloe Vera.
Our products make the difference between feeling good and feeling great!

| Aloe Vera Drinking Gel FAQs |
|
The essential goodness in aloe makes it an excellent source of nutrition. Aloe boasts a natural infusion of 20 minerals, 18 amino acids, and 12 vitamins that are important to your overall health. In fact, aloe vera is the only vegetarian source of vitamin B12.
Our aloe drinks contain pure aloe pulp and liquid that nourish your body, benefit your digestive system, amplify your energy level, and deliver pure nutrition with every serving.
How much should I drink?
This depends on your reasons for drinking Aloe Vera. Some people take a small amount each morning (60ml) to maintain their general well being. Other people boost their intake for specific reasons, when they might drink up to 180ml or more a day. The average is 120ml per day. Some people such as the elderly need less, whereas those who are larger framed need more.
Can I mix it with anything else?
Yes, if you really don't like the taste, then try mixing it with pure fruit juice, cordial or honey. Pomesteen Power gives it an amazing taste!
When is the best time to drink Aloe?
We would recommend you take Aloe Vera on an empty stomach to get the maximum benefit, and then wait 20 minutes before having anything else. First thing in the morning is good, or right before bed.
When should I feel some benefits?
Every body is different - different diets, lifestyles, sleep patterns, levels of exercise, etc. A few people feel benefit in 2-4 weeks, but most take a little longer. We would encourage you to take Aloe Vera for a trial period of at least 2 months.
How should I store the drink?
As with most natural foods, once you've opened the bottle, it should be stored in the fridge with the lid tightly closed. Of course during storage, the natural pulp will settle, so you should always shake the bottle before use. (Please note that the date stamped on the bottom of the container is the bottling date. The 'use by' date is on the lid)
Are there any side effects?
There are occasionally some mild detox symptoms the first time people start drinking Aloe Vera. Some people have noticed a slight headache (drink more water), a rumbly tummy or a change in their bowel movements for 2 or 3 days, having a couple of spots come up. Nothing particularly dramatic, but you should be aware of them in case you experience anything like this.
Is Aloe Vera Gel safe to take during pregnancy?
It is perfectly safe to take our Aloe Vera Gel during pregnancy, which has many benefits. It can assist the body by providing and helping assimilate the vitamins, minerals and amino acids necessary for good health.

Taken internally, Forever's Aloe Vera drinks provide the essential building blocks for the body to cleanse, restore, protect and balance itself. For this reason, once the body has cleansed and restored itself to a state of well-being, it is important to take a daily maintenance dosage in order for the body to continue to cleanse and balance itself on an ongoing basis. Unfortunately, many people who receive benefits then stop taking it and, when their bodies return to the previous state of toxicity and imbalance, they say that Aloe Vera did not 'cure' their condition. It is essential to realise that unless you significantly change your life-style, diet and exercise regime, etc, you must continue to supplement your systems with Aloe Vera for the needed additional vitamins, minerals, enzymes and amino acids that will assist in maintaining your balanced state of well-being.
