Benefits of the Aloe Vera Plant

Aloe vera contains two important substances, the first one under the rind of the leaf, a yellow, milky slightly bitter liquid (aloin) having been used for centuries, the second one the aloe gel, a fibrous liquid situated in the interior of the leaf.

The Gel has been used for several years only, although it has special therapeutic virtues and it is the most efficient component of the plant.
However the Aloe vera gel, in spite of miraculous effects, has a major disadvantage, it is very sensitive to oxidation (it oxides very quickly), if it is not processed immediately, within two hours it loses its therapeutic properties and it is destroyed by oxygen and micro organisms. So this gift of nature could be used by those who had access to the fresh plants.
FLP Aloe vera gel is thus stabilized, it cannot deteriorate, preserving its therapeutic properties.
One of the greatest companies and very successful, Aloe vera of America which holds two patents of stabilizing the aloe vera gel. This company was incorporated by Forever Living Products, which patented two methods of stabilization of the gel, which constitute the basis for obtaining a 100% purified and stabilized gel.
