• What is Aloe Vera?
  Aloe Vera is a succulent plant member of the lily family. Aloe Barbadensis Miller is the actual botanical name for the variety grown commercially for the healing and moisturizing properties of the gel found in its leaves.

  What we know about the Aloe Vera plant:

  • There are over 400 species of Aloe Vera plants
  • Aloe is the most studied herb
  • Aloe contains over 200 biologically active, naturally occurring constituents
  • Aloe Vera directly absorbs water from the surrounding soil system
  • Aloe Vera plants reach maturity at 3-4 years
  • An adult plant can reach a height of 30 inches with up to 21 leaves

   

  Internal Benefits
  Aloe researchers report that when taken internally, aloe vera coats the lining of the digestive tract allowing absorption of the aloe polysaccharide. Recent studies have shown benefits of using Aloe when taking supplements versus using water. One study showed an increase of over 204% absorption of Vitamin C & E when using Fillet gel. Another study showed an increase of 210% absorption of Vitamin C and 180% of Vitamin B12 when using Fillet juice. Whole Leaf juice resulted in 140% increase of Vitamin C and 160% increased absorption of Vitamin B12.

  • Antioxidant support
  • Joint and Muscle health support
  • Digestive support
  • Gastrointestinal Relief
  • Increased Absorption
  • Immune Support

  External Benefits
  Aloe researchers report that Aloe can penetrate through 3 epidermal layers of the skin when used topically. It provides the benefit of driving nutrients and other constituents into the deeper layers of the skin, which promotes epidermal health.

  • Sunburn relief
  • Burn and Wound relief
  • Anti-inflammatory
  • Skin Moisturizer
   

  Health Topics

  • Digestive Health Support
    • Aloe vera, when taken orally provides a thin layer of nutritional coating in the lining of the stomach, esophagus, and gastrointestinal tract that remain intact for forty-eight hours. This coating serves as the foundation allowing polysaccharides to enter into the digestive tract with the other naturally occurring constituents and begin the healing process.
    • Lily of the Desert aloe products contain no more than 1-4 ppm of anthraquoine provide safe and effective cathartic effects to support constipation and regularity.
    • Recent studies have shown that aloe vera can promote tissue and cell regeneration and a healthy digestive system including support of: Acid Reflux, Heartburn, IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome), and Constipation.
  • Anti-Inflammatory Support
    • Studies confirm that aloe vera contains glucomannans, a special cell-surface receptor which repair damaged tissue.
    • Plant hormones in aloe vera called auxins and gibberellins accelerate healing by stimulating cell replication
    • The combination of salicylic acid and magnesium work together like an analgesic to soothe and relieve pain on contact.
    • The sodium in aloe vera helps prevent calcium build up in joints and bones.
    • The absorption benefits allow the penetration and absorption of other active constituents to maximize their known benefits of joint and anti-inflammatory properties.
    • Dr. Ian Tizard of Texas A & M University did research on aloe's effect on inflammation. Results showed that aloe has a second anti-inflammatory mechanism by blocking certain bacteria or viruses that invade the body. Evidence has been presented to show that certain aloe-derived carbohydrates bind specifically to carbohydrate-binding sites. In doing this, they significantly reduce swelling and redness in some models of experimental inflammation.
  • Immune Support
    • Macrophages are specific cells of the Immune System. Studies show that aloe has a stimulating effect of the acetylated mannan (polysaccharides) on this primary cell, and that macrophages interact with other cells within the immune system to play a vital role in the body's defense system.
    • Studies confirm that aloe polysaccharides above the Dalton weight of 100,000 provide immune support. The higher the molecular weight, the greater the immune support.
    • Studies show that Polysaccharides may increase the action of white blood cells, thus increasing the production or what is referred to as the "Killer" in T-cells.
    • Researchers report that aloe vera has been proven to enhance the immune system's response to cancer by promoting the growth of new and healthy cells and reducing the overall viral load within the body thereby revitalizing the body in its fight against cancer.
    • Researchers repot that aloe vera can help reduce the damage to immune system cells when radiation and chemotherapy are used, which is critical in the body's recovery.
    • Aloe may support Immune Depressed conditions.
  • Skin Health
    • Studies show that aloe vera can penetrate 3 epidermal layers of the skin.
    • High polysaccharide aloe vera gel may improve absorption of other botanical herbs and vitamins.
    • Wound healing studies report that aloe vera interacts with cell surface receptors to repair fibroblast, stimulating faster growth and replication.
    • Normal skin cells are replaced in 180 - 200 days. Faster cell growth means healthier skin. Aloe vera can promote healthier skin.
    • Typically, aloe vera products should contain a significant quantity of aloe vera in the formula (30% - 99%) to be most effective on human skin.
    • Most aloe topical products at retail stores contain less than 1% - 10% aloe vera in creams, lotions, and other body products. Lily of the Desert topical products contain up to 99% organic aloe vera.
