Why should I buy Forever Living Aloe when I can buy other brands
cheaper?
It is a valid question and
perhaps we can better answer you with the following information:
We are the world’s
largest grower and distributor of Aloe Vera. We own plantations in
the USA and the Caribbean – both prime growing climates. Therefore
we can tell you EXACTLY how and where our aloe was grown. For
example, we know and can assure you that no pesticides or herbicides are
used in our Aloe Vera fields.
We control the whole
process, from choosing which leaves are ripe for harvest, right through to
the storage temperature after bottling. We are not dependent on any
other supplier.
Our gel is extracted from
freshly harvested, mature leaves and stabilized to protect its essential
nutritional content within hours. The stabilization process is
patented by Forever Living Products President Rex Maughan.
No artificial flavoring
or colouring is added to our 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 firmly
believe that the colour is NATURAL and HEALTHY.
Although a large
proportion of Aloe Vera gel is naturally composed of water, anybody seeing
the raw gel will know that is not a thin clear liquid. Our 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 shack the drinks well to
receive the full benefit from our 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 benefits.
They often avoid mentioning that in order to remove the strong laxative
elements found in outer leaf, they must pass the whole liquid through
charcoal filters, which inevitably upsets the natural balance of nutrients
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!
Our Aloe Vera is not
boiled. Boiling or pasteurization is cheaper and faster. Excessive
heat destroys the active ingredients. We use 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 some companies can
offer ‘double-strength’ products and so on. Our products contain
100% stabilized Aloe Vera gel, from plant to product to you.
100 % stabilized 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 our Aloe Vera Gel is
‘essentially identical’ to the raw gel. In other words, drinking our
Aloe Vera Gel is like breaking open a leaf and scooping out the gel.
There us 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!
