Frequently Asked Questions
 Why do individuals use Aloe Vera?
Common uses for taking aloe vera internally include: using it for overall health, detoxification, laxative
purposes, cleansing, moisturizing, gastritis, ulcers, burns, colitis, eczema, arthritis, and nervous stomach.
People use it topically as a moisturizer, as well as for sunburns, minor cuts, burns, and insect bites.
What is the difference between the juice and the gel?
The gel is derived from the juice, but uses a naturally occurring thickening agent called carrageenan added to
it. The thickening agent comes from an Irish moss.
What percentage of Aloe Vera is in your juices and gels?
The traditional fillet juice and the Whole leaf juice contain 99.7% aloe vera. The gels in both categories
contain 99.5% aloe vera because of the carrageenan that is added. The pleasant tasting flavored drinks contain 60% aloe vera.
