Organic Aloe vera Juice

ANASTORE presents its new NEPENTA® Digestive plants range: a range inspired by plants from the Nepenthes genus, known for secreting digestive enzymes. 

DRINKABLE ORGANIC ALOE VERA: DESCRIPTION

Aloe vera (Aloe barbadensis Mill.) is a perennial plant with a woody stem and fleshy leaves. It is native to India and also grows in North Africa and certain areas of southern Europe (1). This plant has been used for thousands of years, and can be used to create two products: aloe latex and aloe gel:

• Aloe latex is formed by the concentrated and dried juice that is obtained by making an incision in the leaves of several species of the Aloe genus. 

• Aloe gel comes from the mucilage fraction of the pulp of the fresh leaves of Aloe vera. It contains water and polysaccharides, including acemannan, a mixture of complex polysaccharides of the β-(1-4) O-acetylated mannan type. In addition to internal use, the gel can be used topically and is a common ingredient in cosmetic products.

Aloe vera gel is a source of antioxidants that help to increase the body’s overall antioxidant capacity and to strengthen the body’s defences (2). It also helps to maintain the immune system (3), helps cope with fatigue (4) and helps to support the digestion (5).

Our juice is obtained from organic aloe vera gel from Andalusia (Spain). This gel is extracted from the inner part of the freshly harvested leaf. It is cold processed and then organic lemon juice is added to conserve it properly. It also contains a minimum of 1000 mg acemannans per litre and a maximum aloin content of 0.1 mg/kg.
