FRESH BIO ALOE VERA

Aloe vera leaves, nature's green miracle, have had a firm place in naturopathy and beauty care for generations. The succulent leaf holds a secret that fascinates many health and beauty lovers around the world. 

Aloe vera leaves - Basic information

Aloe vera is a succulent plant, also known as the "desert lily", and has been used for centuries for facial and skin care as well as for a healthy diet. The gel is found in the leaf and is particularly popular in various areas of cosmetics.

  • Appearance
    The aloe vera leaf is long and thick. It is often green, but can also be gray or bluish depending on the species. The leaf is fleshy and has sharp, serrated edges.
  • Inner structure
    The gel from the inside of the aloe vera leaf is used for medicinal and cosmetic purposes. The leaf bark is removed and returned to nature as organic fertilizer. The juice that emerges is only used medicinally, but is removed for cosmetic and culinary use.
  • Gel
    The gel is clear and slimy. It is rich in water and contains a variety of nutrients, including vitamins (A, C, E and B vitamins), minerals (such as magnesium and calcium), amino acids and enzymes. The most important ingredient is acemannan, a polysaccharide that is practically only found in the aloe plant and is partly responsible for the special properties of aloe.
  • Juice
    The juice made from the aloe gel is sold as aloe vera juice or aloe vera drink. 
  • Care and cultivation
    Aloe vera is an easy-care plant and can thrive in many climate zones. It needs plenty of sunlight and moderate watering. The plant can also be kept as a houseplant, but then does not develop all of its valuable ingredients as it requires a lot of direct sunlight.

Aloe vera products for the immune system

Aloe vera has some potential immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory properties and thus supports the immune system.

Antioxidant properties

Aloe vera is rich in antioxidants such as vitamin C and vitamin E as well as other compounds such as glutathione. These antioxidants can help neutralize free radicals in the body that can cause cell damage and weaken the immune system.

Anti-inflammatory effect

Aloe vera contains compounds such as polysaccharides and phytosterols, which have anti-inflammatory effects. These can help to support the immune system.

Strengthening intestinal health

A healthy gut plays a crucial role in the immune system, as a large part of the immune system is located in the digestive tract. Aloe vera can promote gut health by supporting the growth of healthy gut bacteria and improving the absorption of nutrients.

General health promotion

Aloe vera can help promote overall health by providing nutrients and helping the body maintain an optimal balance. A healthier body is better able to fight off infections.

Note: If consumed in excess or improperly prepared from the fresh leaf, aloe vera gel can have a laxative effect and possibly lead to diarrhea.
