Aloe Vera produces at least 6 antiseptic agents i.e. Lupeol, salicylic
acid, Urea, nitrogen, Cinnamonic acid, phenols and sulphur. All
these Substances are recognized as antiseptics because they kill
or control mold, bacteria, fungus and virus and has a ability to
eliminative many external or Internal infections. The Lupeol and
salicylic acid in the juice is a very effective painkiller.

cholesterol, campersterol, and B-sitosterol (Plant Sterols) which
is highly effective treatment for burns, cuts, scrapes, abrasions,
allergic reactions, rheumatoid, arthritis, rheumatic fever, acid
indigestion, ulcers, plus many inflammatory conditions of the digestive

Provides
20 of the 22 human required amino acids & 7 of the 8 essential
amino acids.
|
Provides
the basic building blocks of proteins in the production of
muscle tissue etc
|
The 8
essential amino acids are those the human body cannot manufacture
|
|
Anthraquinones
|
Provides
12 anthraquinones: Aloe emodin, Aloetic Acid, Aloin, Anthracine,
Antranol, Barbaloin, Chrysophanic Acid, Emodin, Ethereal Oil,
Ester of Cinnamonic Acid, Isobarbaloin, Resistannol.
|
In relatively
small concentrations together with the Gel fraction they provide
Analgesic, Antibacterial, Antifungal & Antiviral activity.
In high concentration
on their own they can be toxic. For this reason we recommend
only pure, stabilized aloe drinks for internal consumption as
they are balanced - we do not ever recommend, nor endorse, aloe
in a powdered form. |
Traditionally
known as laxatives. The antraquinones are found in the sap.
The anthraquinone derivatives (anthrones & chromones)
comprise the phenolic fraction of the sap. The primary sap
component is Aloin/Barbaloin anthrone derivative.
