Amazing Aloe

Packed within the aloe plant is a powerful punch of essential elements. The Aloe leaf alone contains over 75 nutrients and 200 active compounds, including 20 minerals, 18 amino acids, and 12 vitamins.

Besides common vitamins such as vitamin A, C, D and E and minerals such as zinc, calcium, copper, and magnesium, Aloe also contains five different important enzymes.

ENZYMES IN ALOE

1. gibberellin, a growth factor that assists in healing
2. aloin, an anti-bacterial substance shown strong enough to kill the bacteria that cause tuberculosis
3. chrysophanic acid, a healing stimulator
4. polysaccharides B1-3 and B1-4 glucomannans, known for their ability to boost the immune system

To keep our bodies healthy, we need to keep our immune system strong. Studies show that aloe may have the ability to modulate macrophages, agents that "eat up" foreign cells found in the bloodstream and other tissues.
