Top Ten Reasons to use Aloe Vera

10. Dental Health and Hygiene

Aloe Vera is extremely healthful for your mouth and gums. Take that to your next dentist appointment!

9. Provides Rapid Soothing

Aloe Vera enhances fibroblast function. Fibroblasts are those remarkable little cells responsible for collagen formation. They also assist in the soothing of minor cuts, burns, scrapes and skin irritants.

8. Aids in Healthy Digestion

A healthy digestive tract ensures that nutrients from the foods we eat are absorbed into the blood stream. Aloe Vera has natural, detoxifying abilities. Taking Aloe Vera regularly may improve bowel regularity and increase protein absorption, while at the same time decrease unfriendly bacte­ria and yeast - all done naturally! Aloe Vera has also demon­strated its ability to assist in soothing heartburn and other types of digestive upset.

7. Immune Support and Function

Aloe Vera provides natural support for the immune system. Since the immune system works around the clock protecting the body, aloe vera, with its natural immune enhancers, gives the body a continual arsenal from which to draw.

6. Regulates Weight and Energy Levels

Aloe Vera naturally, and with regular use, allows the body to cleanse the digestive system. Our diets include many unwanted substances, which can cause lethargy and exhaus­tion. Taken regularly, Aloe Vera ensures a greater feeling of well being, allowing energy levels to increase and helping to maintain a healthy body weight.

5. Collagen and Elastin Repair

Aloe Vera can add a rich supply of building materials to pro­duce and maintain healthy skin. The skin replenishes itself every 21 to 28 days. Using the nutritional building blocks of Aloe Vera, the skin can utilize these nutrients daily to help combat the effects of aging! A daily dose of Aloe Vera can be just what your skin is thirsting for.

4. Daily Dose of Minerals

Some of the minerals found in Aloe Vera include calcium, sodium, iron, potassium, chromium, magnesium, man­ganese, copper, and zinc. What a powerful storehouse! We all know that adding foods to our diets with naturally occurring vitamins and minerals is recommended for overall health. It is a natural and healthful way to replenish the body’s supply.

3. Daily Dose of Vitamins

Aloe Vera includes Vitamins A, B1, B2, B6, B12, C and E, Folic Acid and Niacin. The human body simply cannot store some of these vitamins; therefore we need to supple­ment them regularly through our diet. What better way than by taking a daily dose of Aloe Vera, while at the same time building the body’s defense system naturally against oxidative stress?!

2. Anti-inflammatory Properties

Aloe Vera has 12 natural substances that have been shown to inhibit inflammation without side effects. Aloe may also support proper joint and muscle mobility.

1. Body "Building Blocks"

Amino acids are our body’s building blocks. Eight which are essential and cannot be made by the body are found within the aloe plant! Taking Aloe Vera on a regular basis allows you to help maintain your health by replenishing your body naturally with these essential amino acids. An analysis of the aloe vera plant shows that it comes closer than any other known plant to the duplication of essential amino acids.

As you can see from these 10 great reasons, taken daily - Aloe Vera is one of the best nutritional supplements available!
