KANPUR: Aloe Vera has been proved to be a complete food. In this day and age when we see more and more cases of health problems due to poor nutritional elements in our diets, Aloe Vera comes to our rescue, offering us its invaluable help as a nutritional supplement.
This is because Aloe Vera contains a series of active substances that are generally missing in our daily diet, even if it is natural and well balanced.
For example, Aloe Vera contains 18 of the 22 amino acids present in the human body, among which are included the 8 essential amino acids that the body cannot manufacture for itself and from which other amino acids are formed.
Aloe Vera is also a magnificent source of the natural vitamins which are essential to our body’s correct functioning. Vitamin A (carotene), Beta-carotene, the complete Vitamin B group: B1 (Thiamine), B2 (Riboflavin), B3 (Niacin), B6 (pyridoxine) and B12 (Ciano-cobalamina). There is not a single other plant source that offers the precious Vitamin B12. Additionally, it is a fabulous source of Vitamin C (Ascorbic acid), Vitamin E (Tocopherol) and Vitamin M (folic acid).
Aloe Vera pulp is also rich in a number of organic minerals which are so important to our basic acid balance and to our digestive and respiratory processes. They are calcium, magnesium, sodium, copper, iron, manganese, potassium, zinc, chrome, chloride, silicon, boron and organic germanium.
It is important to remember that the minerals we consume daily in a small glass of Aloe Vera are all of organic origin and therefore tolerated and are perfectly assimilated by our body-unlike synthetic products.
This continuous supply of tiny quantities of organic minerals makes us feel fantastic. Aloe Vera is also rich in Anthraquinones, Enzymes, Mono and Polysaccharides found in the pulp of this extraordinary plant.
To understand how Aloe Vera acts upon the body, we must basically consider two points. Firstly as mentioned above, many illnesses stem from a lack of the elements that the body needs on a daily basis, even in tiny amounts.
This is well explained by OLIGOTHERAPY: giving the body miniscule amounts of oligoelements is enough to start off enzymes activity.
Considering the astounding amount of oligoelements present in pure Aloe Vera Pulp, consuming this wonder juice through the day in small quantities may help maintain a continuous supply of the vital nutrients to the organs of the body.
Secondly, the holistic efficiency of Aloe Vera is also due to synergy or interaction of all those elements working together, creating a more potent combined effect than if they were working alone.
The great secret of Aloe Vera lies in that mysterious synergy of a large number of elements and micro-elements, making it an indispensable supplement to our daily diet, to promote ideal enzymes activity and strengthen our immune system.
However it is only the juice and pulp of pure, correctly stabilized Aloe Vera (without any water added), approved by the IASC (International Aloe Science Council) such as FOREVER’s, that contains biological active elements, and is capable of providing the perfect supplement to our daily diet, proving a true gift to our health.
