Aloe Vera [Intestinal, Skin] is a nutritional storehouse, containing vitamins B1, B2, B6, C, niacina-mide, choline and 18 amino acids, in addition to many other nutritional substances. It nutritionally benefits the intestinal system. Many companies manufacture aloe vera, but many products on the market have lost much of the plant’s original benefits due to overprocessing. 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. Nature’s Sunshine’s Aloe Vera Juice can also be taken internally with juice or water. 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, it is known for its hydrating and moisturizing properties. 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 penetrates deeply, leaving no stickiness. Recent studies of the aloe vera plant indicate a possible antifungal action against Candida albicans. Another study reports aloe relieves the irritation and itching of poison ivy. Applied topically, aloe helps abrasions, burns, cuts, diaper rash, eczema, hemorrhoids,insect bites/stings,irritations, psoriasis,scratches, skin rashes,skin ulcers,sunburn, and minor wounds and often works best when used alone.
