So what is Aloe Vera and what does it do?

Aloe vera's skin-soothing emollients and healing capabilities have been known since ancient times. Alexander the Great used it to restore the health of his troops. Cleopatra relied on it to help preserve her beauty, and the chinese have been using it as a cleansing tonic for centuries.

There are 30 essential vitamins required to maintain good health that generally cannot be manufactured in the body. It has more recently been discovered that these vitamins can actually prevent disease from developing, making us feel even "better than well" and even slowing down the ageing process. After all, ageing is simply the result of our body's exposure to free radicals which cause our bodies to decay or "oxidate". Certain vitamins can actually slow down this oxidation process: those found in the aloe vera plant.

• 200 Nutritional Compounds
• 20 Minerals
• 18 Amino Acids
• 12 Vitamins
• Natural source of Vitamin B12

The plant not only has the ability to provide essential nutrients that the body is unable to produce, but to kill bacteria, viruses, funghi and yeasts, reduce inflammation and give a host of other benefits now recognised as essential to promote longevity.
