What does 100% stabilised Aloe Vera Gel mean?
Good Question:
A. Aloe Vera Gel comes from the inner part of the plant (the so called inner gel). The photo shows this being hand filleted from the leaf. The term Aloe Vera Juice is often used to describe the gel, but is properly only used to describe Aloe Latex a substance found just under the skin of the leaf that contains Aloin, a powerful laxative. Aloe Vera Gel (as with most vegetable matter) has limited keeping properties, and will decay quite quickly. It is essential therefore to stabilise the gel quickly to prevent this natural decay. The preservation process involves adding natural preservatives so the maximum possible concentration of Aloe Vera Gel is about 98% of actual plant derived gel. The term 100% stabilised refers to the concentration of the stabilised product used in manufacture, and when you see this term you can be sure that the gel has not been diluted or bulked up with other substances. Forever Living Aloe Vera Gel varies in concentration from about 85% (Bits n Peaches) to about 98% (Plain Gel).
