Aloe Vera
There are over 300 different species of this plant. However, it
is the species Aloe Barbadensis Miller that is the most effective for
consumption.
The International Aloe Science Council, an independent body that
monitors the quality of Aloe Vera internationally states:
Chemical analysis has revealed that the clear gel extract in the Aloe Vera
contains amino acids, minerals, vitamins, enzymes, proteins, polysaccharides and
biological stimulators .
|
Vitamins: Vitamin A, B1, B2, B3,
B6, B12, Folic Acid, Niacin
These essential
substances are a valuable addition to the other active ingredients of Aloe Vera
contributing to well-being and health.
Your body needs vitamins to function properly which makes them really important
substances.
Vitamin A - promotes
vision, helps in the development & maintenance of healthy skin
Vitamin B1 - needed to supply our body with energy & is needed by muscles
& nerves
Vitamin B2 - controls biological oxidation process, is needed for detoxification
& building
Vitamin B6 - is a coenzyme & is needed for efficient functioning of the
nervous system
Vitamin B12 - primary function is in the formation of red blood cells & the
maintenance of a healthy nervous system
Folic Acid - used body for cell regeneration
Niacin - assists in the functioning of the digestive system. Important for the
conversion of food to energy
Acemannan
The key to Aloe Vera’s
extraordinary properties is that the plant is known to be a rich source of long
chain sugars known as polysaccharides. In the opinion of Dr Bruce Hedendal, of
the Hedendal Chiropractic & Nutrition Centre, USA, polysaccharides are as
important to the body as bricks are to a house. Most agree that these
polysaccharides must act synergistically with all the other nutritional
constituents found in the aloe vera in order to make such a positive health
impact It is believed that the polysaccharides in the Aloe Vera work by
interacting with the immune system, boosting it rather than overriding it. It Is
known to stimulate the digestive tracts receptivity to vitamins, minerals,
nutrients & strengthening the immune system.
Minerals
Minerals & trace
elements in the Aloe Vera are indispensable for the human metabolism.
Calcium - needed for the growth of bones & teeth. Essential for blood
clotting, for the regulation of blood pressure
Potassium - assists in muscle contraction & maintaining fluid in body cells
Magnesium - dampens the irritability of muscles & nerves
Sodium - plays a key role in normal nerve & muscle function
Iron - carries oxygen in the red blood cells to the muscles
Zinc - supports a healthy immune system
Manganese - helps the detoxification of the body
Amino Acids
Lysine, Threonine,
Valine, Methionine, Isoleucine, Phenylalanie, Thryptophan, Arginine, Aspartic
acid, Serine,Glutamic Acid,
Glycine, Alanine, Cysteine, Thyrosine, Histidine, Proline, Hydroxyoproline,
Leucine
There are 20 different
amino acids functioning as building blocks of the body, helping to build
enzymes, hormones and antibodies as
well as supporting a vast number of metabolic processes.
Enzymes
Oxidase, Catalase,
Amylase, Bradykinase, Cellulase, Lipase,.Allinase, Phospatase,
Creatine-Phosphokinase, Dehydrogenase, SGOTransaminase, SGP-Transaminase
Enzymes are substances
which enable, accelerate or block chemical reactions in cells. Together with
vitamins, minerals and trace elements,
they contribute to all chemical processes in the human body. The enzymes in Aloe
Vera are known to regulate intestinal activity
and assisting in the break up of food elements, thus making them utilisable for
the body.
Other Agents
Campesterol, Lupeol,
Beta-Sitosterol, Malic Acid, Lignine, Sapogenines, Carotene, Choline
In addition to these substances,
Aloe Vera has many other active ingredients that provide health &
well-being. |
