The first of its kind to receive certification by the International Aloe Science Council, this rich blend of pulp and liquid gives us a product as near to nature as possible. The proof is in the Aloe, after reading these top ten reasons why a highly respected Doctor (GP) and researcher into the benefits of Aloe Vera you will see why Aloe Vera has been nick named the Medicine Plant.

Below are reasons 10 thru five, check back soon to see the top five reasons for drinking Aloe Vera Gel!

10: Effect on the gut
Aloe Vera has a wonderfully beneficial action on bowel function which results in smooth and efficient transit of contents, often eradicating inconvenient, colicky pain. This action, of course, is of great benefit to sufferers of Irritable Bowel Syndrome, a problem that affects about one in five people int he Western world at some stage during their life.

9: Assists in healthy digestion
A healthy digestive tract ensures that nutrients from the food we eat are absorbed into the bloodstream. This is clear, clinical evidence that by drinking Aloe Vera Gel the bowel is able to absorb these nutrients more efficiently, especially protein.

8: Effect on gut flora
Aloe Vera is a natural 'balancer' in many areas and nowhere more so then in the gut, where it tends to regulate the various bateria and yeasts that inhabit it. For example, if a person were to suffer too much yeast in the gut, such as candida, regular ingestion of the Gel would tend to reduce this overgrowth. The same can be said for more unfriendly bacteria that can accumulate in certain conditions.

7: Effect on the skin
When they are first produced deep in the epidermis skin cells are rather large and very much alive, but by the time they read the surface 21 - 28 days later (in normal skin) they are a shadow of their former self and are transformed into just thin flakes of Keratin which eventually fall off. Aloe Vera Gel provides the essential nutrition to feed the basal cells and therefore the skin remains healthy and is able to perform its vital functions more efficiently - as well as looking fantastic!

6: Increases the activity of fibroblasts
Fibroblasts are specialised cells found in the skin and their job is to produce fibre such as collagen and elastin. These fibres give the skin its structure and make it look plump and elastic. This is fine from a cosmetic point of view but they are also extremely important in would healing, as these fibres create a mesh or network over which the new skin cells advance to close the wound. The effect of Aloe Vera is to stimulate them to reproduce faster and therefore, being more of them, they make more fibre. The time taken for wounds to heal under the influence of Aloe Vera can be reduced by up to a third!

5: Antiviral Activity
Within the mucilage layer of the leaf which surrounds the inner Gel there is a long chain sugar of polysaccharide. This has the capability of being able to defend us against attacks by various viruses, from the common cold to the virus that can cause AIDS. This sugar has actually been extracted from Aloe Vera and made into a drug which, when given alongside regular antiviral agents in the treatment of AIDS, appears to have a synergistic effect, making the treatment more efficient!
