ABOUT ALOE VERA

Discover the Power of Aloe Vera ...

The Aloe family of plants includes over 200 varieties. Of these, it is the Aloe Barbadensis Miller (Aloe Vera) that has been of most use to man.

A succulent plant with thick fleshy leaves, which conceal an inner gel, it has been used for centuries to maintain health and enhance beauty. Flourishing in warm, dry climates, both the Greeks and the Egyptians valued it highly.

Why Forever Living Products´ Aloe Vera

Forever Living Products (FLP) are the world's largest growers and producers of Aloe Vera and have a patented stabilisation process ensuring our aloe is essentially identical to the inner leaf gel. Freshness is therefore assured. Our Aloe is also free from herbicides, pesticides, pasteurisation, freeze-drying and heat treatment.

Aloe Vera is versatile - our wide range includes drinks, skincare, personal care and cosmetics. The key to our success is that we don't simply add a few drops of Aloe Vera to our products; we start with 100% inner gel and add just enough other ingredients as needed. Poor diet, stress, caffeine, over-processed foods etc can all lead to less than tip-top health. Aloe, with its wealth of essential nutrients, can help redress the balance.

FLP aloe vera is organically grown and it is the only aloe vera company in the world to operate a totally vertically integrated system, i.e. from plant to product to end-user/customer, ensuring unmatched levels of quality control, assurance and customer service. FLP owns and farms over 6000 acres of aloe vera plantations in Texas, Mexico and the Dominican Republic. FLP owns patents for its unique aloe vera stabilisation process and its beehive products´ collection systems.

FLP was the first aloe vera company in the world to have the International Aloe Science Council Seal of Approval on its aloe vera products. FLP also has the internationally approved K (Kosher) rating and the Islamic Seal of Approval on a selection of its products and is not tested on animals.

FLP is actively involved with many leading medical institutions in the USA that are using its products, both internally and topically, including the Arizona Burns Centre in Phoenix.

In 2000, FLP UK worked closely with DEBRA, the charity for sufferers of the genetically inherited skin disorder, Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB) and Great Ormond Street Hospital, raising around Ł120,000 for the charity to help fund specialist EB nurses and providing one of its products for use in helping to alleviate the condition. Following successful work on EB at Great Ormond Street Hospital, FLP´s Aloe Propolis Creme was made available through the hospital´s Dermatology Department.

In 2001, FLP announced the world´s first ever double-blind, placebo controlled, cross over, clinical trial for Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) using its Aloe Vera Gel drinking juice. The trial is being conducted at the Morriston Hospital in south Wales. It is also developing initiatives with other medical institutions in the UK to launch trials involving a number of its aloe vera products for both internal and topical use.

Another clinical trial using the Aloe Vera Gel drinking juice is also being conducted at the Royal Free Hospital in London for Ulcerative Colitis.

Aloe Vera is not a panacea; it is complimentary to natural health. It can be used alongside conventional methods of medication. Aloe Vera is bio-available to your body and works synergistically to build your immune system. If natural health is what you want, use it regularly and give it a chance to fight ´free radicals´ and make the difference to your life. Aloe Vera is the silent healer.

FLP has a Professional Advisory Board comprising a doctor, a nutritionist, a beauty therapist and a vet to advise on all medical and related matters.
