Nature's Sunshine Aloe Vera Whole Leaf is a nutritional storehouse, containing vitamins B1, B2, B6, C, niacina-mide, choline and 18 amino acids, in addition to many other nutritional substances. It nutritionally benefits the intestinal system. Many companies manufacture aloe vera, but many products on the market have lost much of the plant’s original benefits due to overprocessing. Beware of aloe vera juice that claims to have no disagreeable taste. Removing this leaves you with a product that is only 10-15 percent aloe vera, at best. NSP aloe vera is processed in a special way to avoid the loss of essential vitamins, minerals and other constituents. The leaf is filleted; then the green outer portion that contains aloin is removed, leaving the gel that remains in the leaf. The gel remains thick when the leaf is first cut, but after a few minutes, an enzymatic reaction causes it to become liquid and freely run out. It is this 100 percent pure liquid that NSP collects. To prevent bacterial contamination, we add sodium benzoate as a preservative. Sodium benzoate is effective in very small quantities, and it properly and safely preserves aloe vera juice. Nature’s Sunshine’s Aloe Vera Juice can also be taken internally with juice or water. NSP Whole Leaf Aloe Vera provides a higher level of mucopolysaccharides than regular filleted aloe vera. Only the intense cleansing components have been removed, leaving a high level of mucopolysaccharides (7,000 mg per liter).
