Pure Aloe Vera

Those of you who are familiar with my work know this already. I'm a big fan of Aloe Vera in all shapes and forms. It's one of those special things nature came up with on a particularly inspired day. What a concept - a plant that can heal all kinds of injuries our body suffers, cuts, grazes, burns, ulcers... the list is impressive.

Aloeride has received some interesting media attention. One of the most recent is from the March 16th 2008 edition of the "Sunday Post" in the UK. Read the full Sunday Post article here. (PDF file, opens in a new browser window).

The problem with most commercially available Aloe Vera extracts is the low content of the beneficial ingredients. Extracting these beneficial ingredients means the raw plant has to undergo quite a number of processes, each one of which takes out some of the original goodness. It's not to say that other commercially available extracts are bad, it's just that in my opinion, AloeRide is better.

Developed by Chartered Physiotherapist, Registered Acupuncturist and Naturopath, Han van de Braak, Aloeride is 100% pure Aloe Vera extract. Unlike other Aloe Vera products available, Aloeride does not contain any fillers, preservatives, or salts, nor is it watered down with liquids which reduce potency and effectiveness.

Aloeride qualities include:

• The highest possible proportion of working Aloe Vera ingredients
• The most pure Aloe Vera in a completely natural way
• The non-concentrated nature more potent than concentrated formulas
• Provides almost 3 times the amount of active ingredients than the next best product

Additionally Aloeride is a 100% herbal product, BUT manufactured to pharmaceutical standards. Aloeride conforms to both the European Union and US standards.

One of the unfortunate side effects from using Aloe Vera products is a slight laxative effect. This is a result of the Aloe Latex, which is the thick, yellow sap of the plant. Despite this laxative effect, I've been using Aloe products for many years as part of my overall wellness regime and also as a beauty and anti-aging product (allow me my vanities please).

My experience with AloeRide however has been totally positive. The product does not include any of the sap, so there is no laxative effect. In fact, the product is so good, it has overall benefits to the intestinal and bowel system. Conventional wisdom had it that despite it's healing effects, Aloe Vera was not indicated for use by anybody suffering bowel disorders such as Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Crohn's Disease or GERD, purely due to the strong laxative effect. This laxative effect also lessened the effect of other medications taken at the same time, as it caused the medications to pass though the body too quickly to be effective.

In the pure form that AloeRide is delivered though, even people suffering from these bowel disorders can now use the product. In fact, Prima Magazine in the UK recently featured one woman's plight with Crohn's Disease and the tremendous results and comfort she saw from using AloeRide.

I've been an Aloe Vera convert for some years now. Even for someone like me though, AloeRide provides additional benefits due to it's purity and the effective way it releases all the beneficial ingredients of Aloe Vera into my system, without the harsh laxative effect and without any of the added fillers or preservatives found in so many "pure" products.

Overall, a superior product and worthy of my recommendation.
