What is in Aloe Vera and functions …
19 Amino Acids:
Arginine, Asparagine, Aspartic Acid, Cysteine, Glutamic Acid, Glutamine, Glycine, Histadine, Isoleucine, Leucine, Lysine, Methionine, Phenylalanine, Proline, Serine, Threonine, Tyrosine, Valine
– detoxifying the liver, helping the central nervous system, heart, brain and circulation.
Vitamins include:
Vitamin A – maintains eye and skin health, mucous membranes, promotes longevity and builds immunity
Vitamin B12 – necessary for formation of red and white blood cells, metabolism of fats, needed for production of acetylcholine (a neurotransmitter that enhances memory and learning).
Vitamin C – increases production of antibodies, aids in cholesterol metabolism and powerful antioxidant
Vitamin E– helps circulatory system and counteracts process of aging, protects red blood cells, antioxidant
Choline – aids distribution of fats from liver, keeps cell membranes healthy, assists memory and learning
Folic Acid – helps form red blood cells, protein metabolism, essential for growth, improves mental health
Minerals include:
Calcium – Builds and maintains bones & teeth, important in regulation of heart muscles & nerve transmission, pH of digestive system
Chromium – Helps regulate blood sugar levels, and thought to be instrumental in keeping cholesterol low
Copper – catalyst for body-building enzymes connected with muscle & nerve fibres, aids hair pigment
Iron – most important mineral involved in transportation of oxygen to the cells, formation of haemoglobin
Magnesium – cell metabolism, very important agent in the utilisation of other minerals & vitamins
Manganese – Important in energy production, antioxidant, helps maintain reproductive processes
Potassium – important for growth, maintenance and repair of cells, energy and nerve transmissions
Zinc – greatly strengthens immunity, maintains level of vitamin E in blood, prostate gland function, protein synthesis and collagen formation
Anthraquinones:
Aloe Emodin, Aloetic Acid, Alin, Ahtracine, Antranol, Barbaloin, Chrysophanic Acid, Emodin, Ethereal Oil, Ester of Cinnamonic Acid, Isobarbaloin and Resistannol.
Anthraquinones are phenolic compounds which aid digestion, but also have anti-fungal, anti-bacterial and anti-viral activity, as well as pain-killing effects. (On their own, and in high quantities, they can be toxic.)
Enzymes – Provides 8 enzymes including:
Aliiase, Alkaline Phosphatase, Amylase, Carboxypeptidase, Catalase, Cellulase, Lipase
These enzymes assist breakdown of food sugars and fats, therefore aiding digestion and enhancing nutrient absorption
Hormones – Auxins, Gibberellins – which stimulate the growth of new cells, and are involved in wound healing and have anti-inflammatory effects.
Lignin – a cellulose based substance, which provides penetrating power to take the soothing properties of aloe Vera down to damaged skin areas, where it strips the toxic materials, increases the blood circulation to the area and flushes the dead tissue away. As it is keratolytic, it also softens hard skin.
Salicylic Acid – which is an aspirin-like compound, that works as a pain killer with anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties.
Saponins – which are glycosides, being soapy substances which provide cleansing and antiseptic activity. They act powerfully as anti-microbials against bacteria, fungi, viruses and yeasts.
Phytonutrients – Campesterol, Lupeol, Sisosterol – Which are antioxidant, boost the immune system, help balance cholesterol in the body, regulate blood sugar, anti-inflammatory, antiviral, antibacterial, and aid cellular repair.
The process of separating the gel is done scientifically, according to International Standards,
and in such a way as to preserve the nutrients in the Aloe Vera.
Which are then bottled in opaque containers to protect from damage from light.
