results achieved. Satisfaction Guaranteed! top

Q: How did the Aloe Life company begin?

A: A clinical nutritionist, Karen Masterson-Koch began researching Aloe Vera in her practice 12 years ago. She began seeing remarkable results with her Cancer, HIV, Chronic Fatigue

and all patients upon their use of a quality Whole Leaf Aloe Vera juice. The potency of the products on the market were so low that a patient had to spend too much money to achieve the

potency needed to greatly effect ones health. That led Mrs. Masterson to formulate the Aloe Life products, that so many individuals benefit from by daily use today. top

Q: Are the flavored Aloe Life juices therapeutic?

A: Most definitely! The Cherry Cranberry, Whole Leaf Aloe Vera Juice Concentrate, was actually the first product introduced onto the market from Aloe Life. This was because Mrs.

Masterson wanted all people to be able to enjoy the value the Aloe Vera plant has to offer and many people would not drink the natural Aloe juice. The potency is only 7% less Aloe and

tastes delicious. Flavors do not contain sweeteners! Children and individuals of all ages drink and enjoy Aloe Life! top

Q: Most people don't even know that you can drink Aloe! Is there any harm from drinking the Aloe vegetable juice?

A: No. Being a vegetable it is best to drink a small amount at first or test the topical Skin Gel on a small area of skin to make sure you are not allergic to Aloe. This is rare yet people can

be allergic to natural foods such as strawberries and it's wise to check before using any quantity of Aloe Life. Once you have done the allergy test you may build up to the desired

amount of 1-8 oz.. The Aloe Life aloe products actually have a collagen strengthening effect that helps to reduce over all allergy response. Other companies sometimes use sulfites to

help retain the color of their Aloe juice. Aloe Life does not use any sulfites and people who cannot tolerate other brands of Aloe juice have done brilliantly with Aloe Life.

Also please see the Health Products section of the web site to learn about the 4 year study that showed no toxicity from Aloe and in fact it lengthened life by 25% according to the

researchers. Contrary to other written references, aloe is excellent for children, adults and seniors. Pet lovers use our juice for animals as well! top

Q: Why do Physicians tell parents that Aloe Vera is dangerous for children to drink?

A: Their reference is to laxative Aloe Vera products. Properly processed Aloe Vera juices like Aloe Life are 100% safe and are not formulated to act as laxatives but do provide gentle

help moving the bowels. If diarrhea occurs cut back on the amount of juice consumed. top

Q: Why do some health books say seniors and pregnant women should not take Aloe Vera?

A: Their reference is to laxative Aloe Vera products see previous ans. regarding laxative Aloe. Their is no harmful or dangerous element in the Aloe Vera plant that will hurt the fetus or

the elderly! In fact Aloe Vera is extremely beneficial to seniors because studies have shown that stomach acids naturally decline with age. Aloe Vera helps to regulate the stomach acids

providing great support to digestive function. Elderly also receive skin renewal properties through collagen support and increased wound healing. Individuals may feel vigorous and

energized because of the many nutrients and electrolytes in Aloe. Pregnant women may experience less nausea and the aloe will encourage milk production! top

Q: What is the potency of the Whole Leaf Aloe Vera Concentrate?

A: 14,000 - 21,000 mgs. per liter of MPS or solids\polysaccharides as it has been referred to. Many of the regular Aloe Vera juice products on the market test in the 1,000 - 2,000 range

and even lower than this! It varies according to how much water is actually in the formula. Be aware that water is not always included in the ingredient list. Aloe Life tests our juice yearly

at an independent laboratory and receives the proper third party documentation. (Most other Aloe companies do not test their product potency at all. Some will type up results on their

own letter head or the company they purchase their aloe from, which is not to be trusted.) top

Q: How can a consumer know the quality of an Aloe Vera juice without elaborate testing?

A: Aloe Life documents not only the potency yet also the freshness with 3 microbial tests on every batch. This documents the quality of the juice you are drinking so you feel safe to even

give it to your child. It meets the strictest of manufacturing; Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) with laboratory tests to prove it. Many juices are processed out of the country and do

not run the strict testing that Aloe Life insists on. Lastly a consumer looks for the health results they are hopeful for. Aloe Life is effective where many products just hint at support. Best to

use Aloe Life for at least three months to test the effectiveness. All of our products come with a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee! top

Q: Does the Whole Leaf juice contain more active ingredients than inner gel?

A: Yes. The entire leaf may contain as many as 200 active elements not available in the inner gel alone that support health according to Dr. Robert Davis, Ph.D., microbiologist and

renowned Aloe Vera researcher. The valuable yellow sap is only found in whole leaf Aloe Vera products. Note: Many companies filter out all of the yellow sap even if Whole Leaf is

indicated. Aloe Life leaves the highest allowable level of yellow sap in our products providing many benefits to an individual including anti bacterial, anti-fungal, anti-inflammatory,

anti-tumor and digestive support. top

Q: Why are Aloe Life juices concentrated?

A: Aloe Life wanted to bring to market the most affordable product with the most benefit. To accomplish this we remove natural occurring water from the leaf.(3 qts of water are removed

from 4qts of aloe = 1 qt of 3:1 concentrate) This enables Aloe Life to concentrate without high heat. Aloe Vera is a succulent with 99% of the juice being water and 1% containing the

200 beneficial solids or active ingredients. Therefore by concentrating it costs the consumer less money for more value. top

Q: The Aloe Life juices contain vitamins, minerals, enzymes, amino acids, polysaccharides and more. Do we need to take our supplements along with the juice?

A: Yes. Aloe Life juices do contain hundreds of nutrients yet they do not replace the need for supplements. What has been presented in some Research, is that when Aloe Vera juice is

taken with other nutrients the absorption increases even up to ten times greater. So it is possible to not only optimize your own digestion of foods yet also any other vitamins or herbs you

may take! A recent study conducted at the University of Pennsylvania in 2002 showed 300% better absorption of Vitamins C & E when taken with Aloe Vera Juice. top

Q: Even though Whole Leaf Aloe Vera Juice Concentrate is a very strong Aloe Vera by Aloe Life you add extra trace minerals. Why are Trace Minerals so important?

A: Trace minerals are necessary for many metabolic actions within our bodies? Scientist have only just begun to understand the value the trace minerals perform in keeping human

beings healthy. Zinc, selenium and molybdenum are just a few of these very important trace minerals that support immune function and energy within the cell. Most people do not eat

enough vegetables and whole grains to receive enough minerals from their diets to optimize their health. At no extra cost to the consumer, Aloe Life adds trace minerals to give extra

health support without toxicity. Minerals supply electrolyte fuel during the hot weather. Aloe Life helps maintain energy through even the most humid of days! top

Q: What is a good dosage to consume of Aloe Life juices?

A: One ounce daily equal to 2 tablespoons is an amount that many people find great as a maintenance amount taken before breakfast is best. Adults can gradually build up to 8 ounces if

so desired. The average amount being 2-3 ounces daily. Children Take 1-3 ounces keeping in mind that a larger body size will demand more juice daily, to achieve the desire support. If

loose bowels occur, cut back until normal bowel habits return. Many people welcome the encouragement for regularity without diarrhea. If one has a tendency for diarrhea begin with just

1 teaspoon or a capful and increase as the bowels allow. Irritable bowel has an adjustment with taking a quality Aloe and many claim that Aloe was just what was needed to reduce all

symptoms. See for yourself! top

Q: Does the juice need refrigeration?

A: Yes. If left out of the refrigerator for short periods it is OK. Yet we do not high heat pasteurize the juice so to prolong the freshness refrigerate and avoid drinking directly out of the

bottle unless you are using it up quickly. Aloe Gold tablets by Aloe Life are wonderful for traveling and do not require refrigeration. top

Q: Are the Aloe Life juices organic?

A: Yes, all of the products are certified organic and pesticide and herbicide free. Being processed in Texas, not from Costa Rica or Venezuela, we guarantee that no harmful chemicals

are sprayed on the Aloe Life Aloe Vera. top

Q: What preservatives do the Aloe Life juices contain?

A: The food grade preservatives Sodium Benzoate and Potassium Sorbate used in our juices in quantities less than .025 mg per bottle are safe and only retard mold from developing.

Just like whole grain bread that molds easily we take every step to ensure a safe and fresh product. Individuals who prefer Aloe Vera with no preservatives may choose our Aloe Gold

tablets. They do not require mold inhibitors or citric acid and are the finest Aloe Vera in a tablet available (3 tablets = 1 oz of juice concentrate). top

Q: When is the best time to take Aloe Life juices?

A: Because we do not add water to our juices the pH remains acidic 4.7 - 5.2. Watered down products do not have this natural bitter property that aids in digestion so remarkably! Best to

take the juices a little before a meal. If this is not possible anytime will give good support. For some individuals if taken before bedtime it will keep them awake because of the nutritional

factors. For others it has been a wonder aid in a more restful sleep. top

Q: How can you best describe the concentration of the Aloe Life juice?

A: We take 1 gallon of fresh ground Whole Leaf Aloe Vera juice and remove 3 quarts of natural occurring water. This gives Aloe Life 1 quart of Aloe Gold, referred to as a 3:1

concentrate. top

Q: Is it safe to give Aloe Gold, Aloe juice to dogs? I saw the Aloe Vera Plant listed under poisonous plants on an animal web site?

Yes, it is 100% safe to give to pets. Just start with 1 oz. and increase giving it in increments throughout the day. If diarrhea cut back. Dogs need about 1 oz. per 10 lbs of body weight to

increase immune function. What is pretty ridiculous is dogs would never just start eating away on a whole Aloe Vera plant because it is toooo bitter. A little goes a long way. The plant is

NOT toxic so they do not know what they are talking about as is the case when people are warned against Aloe Vera. If people get diarrhea they also need to just cut the amount

consumed down. It is like Vitamin C. C will cause loose stool if you consume too much at one time. It is, however, NOT toxic. top
