Bio-Protective Aloe Processing™

Our Aloe is Organic, Raw (uncooked), and a Whole "Food for Cells" The Full Life Force of it's natural active ingredients are protected: The Aloe plant's legendary healing virtues depend on both its miraculous individual nutrients AND the "Life" and synergy inherent in its original biological design. Aloe's Potency and Effectiveness depends on maximizing both: the number of nutrients and their ability to be biological available to the cells of our bodies Our Aloe is processed to protect: the biological structure of all the individual nutrients and the original biological design and balance of the aloe compound the "Life" of the Aloe Our Aloe is processed to provide the Full Potency, Full Potential and Full Effectiveness of all that the fresh Aloe plant has to offer. Immediate Stabilization: Because Aloe loses its healing virtues within 4-6 hours after being harvested, Herbal Answers' organically grown Aloe Barbadensis-Miller is trimmed, cleaned, stabilized and sealed in 50 gallon drums within the first 2-6 hours after being cut. Carefully and Delicately Processed: No damaging filtering (No charcoal filtering), No strong solvents, and No damaging centrifuging are used on any parts of this product at any time from field to bottle. Never Heated, Raw, Uncooked: No applied heat (zero heat) is ever used at any time or in any part of processing from field to bottle. This protects the "Life" = Aloe's biological integrity and biological activity. Heat (more than 100-110 degrees F - higher than body temperature) breaks down the biological structure of important nutrients (enzymes, amino acids and the long-chain polysaccharides) breaks down the intricate biological design that defines "Aloe." Herbal Aloe Force® is never subjected to any applied heat whatsoever at any time from field to bottle. We also guarantee that our products never even experience room (environmental) temperatures of more than 90 degrees F (below body temperature) at any time during its processing. "Cold Processed" does not always mean what you think it should. We have found that all other Aloe processing techniques use heat, at least some heat, for some period of time, in some part of their processing in order to control bacteria growth. Beware of clever wording on labels and marketing information. Just because most or part of the processing is "cold" and it is labeled "cold processed" doesn't mean that 135 F or 400+F, even for a minute, isn't "hot" and doesn't destroy biological, living structures like enzymes and large polysaccharides within seconds. "Low heat" and "Flash Pasteurization" is still "hot" biologically speaking. No Water ever added or removed: Never Concentrated, Diluted or Dried Natural Proportions and Design is protected. When you remove water you are changing the structure and design that makes Aloe - "Aloe". In the case of Aloe, concentrated is not "stronger". Full strength Aloe as Nature designed is the most biologically active and effective form of aloe according to research. Aloe contains over 250 constituents all intricately balanced and interlaced within a base of water. A concentrated Aloe removes water. Processes to remove water also "remove" important nutrients and damage the balance, design and synergy of the aloe compound. A concentrated Aloe has a higher concentration of "solids" (mineral salts, sugars...) as the water is removed. The more water you remove the higher the "solids" count (and higher aloin content). This high "MPS" count (Methanol Precipitate Solid Count) is often mistaken for "mucopolysaccharide" count and is also mistaken for a measure of potency. Using the Whole Leaf - with No Damaging Filtering Aloe's nutrients are manufactured and stored in the outer rind of the plant. Thus, there are at least five times more active ingredients in the rind as compared to the inner gel of the Aloe leaf. Using both the leaf and the gel produces a more potent Aloe - if no damaging filtering is used. We use no charcoal or otherwise damaging filtering but do remove the aloin from both the gel and whole leaf completely. ©
