Aloe Vera Products is nature’s prescription for healthy living. Let’s face it. Health and wellness doesn’t come from artificial products. They come from a healthy lifestyle, healthy products & eating well – basically, from following the tenets set by nature.

For more than a quarter century, our parent company, Forever Living Products, has devoted itself to finding the best that nature has to offer; products that promote health, beauty and youthfulness. The products that you will find in the aloe vera store are the results of that search.

Aloe Vera products represent the culmination of centuries of research, observation and experimentation with the things that people around the world found in their natural, unblemished environments.

Alexander the Great went all the way to the Indian ocean for Aloe Vera plants. The Bible mentions it several times as a sure path to health. Mahatma Gandhi credited Aloe Vera for his strength, endurance and peace of mind.

We invite you to learn more about one of nature’s most remarkable products and one of the greatest gifts that the earth has to offer.

What is Aloe? Aloe is a plant. The Aloe plant prefers dry climates and grows in the more arid regions of Africa, Asia, the Americas and Europe. Scientists have discovered more than 240 different species of the Aloe plant. Of those, just 4 are acknowledged as offering significant health benefits to humans. One species, Aloe Barbadensis Miller, holds the most promise of all. This last one is the Aloe species most commonly used in Aloe-based products.

Aloe Vera is a member of the Lily family, but looks somewhat like a cactus. This is because of the spins that protrude perpendicular to its direction of growth. You can see this resemblance in the picture on the left.

Note the sharp cactus-like spines pointing at right angles to the plant’s direction of growth.

Why Aloe Vera? Because the Aloe plant is truly remarkable. The leaf of an Aloe plan contains more than 75 nutrients and 200 active compounds (20 minerals, 18 amino acids and 12 vitamins). Because of this, an Aloe-based beverage made from the plant’s inner gel has more nutritional value than practically any other type of beverage. Learn more by clicking here.
