Aloe Vera: Introduction, Uses, Benefits, Side Effects and More - AloeCure

Many people think of aloe vera as a fix-it solution for skin. Aloe is commonly used to soothe skin after sun exposure, as well as for a host of skin concerns. The article below describes how aloe is commonly used, its nutritional values, and other essential health benefits, including for immune support. The article will also go over any potential side effects from aloe and how it would affect you.

Where Does Aloe Come from?

Aloe is grown in various regions of the southwestern US, the Bahamas, Mexico, Southeast Asia, Central America, South America, Australia, Africa, the Middle East, and the West Indies. It can also be grown in a pot on the windowsill or in the front yard landscape of a desert garden.  Aloe Vera is viable anywhere the temperature stays above freezing.

Aloe Vera is part of the vast succulent family. This family of plants has intricate root systems, although shallow, which permit for absorbing water quickly. Plus, a succulent can store water for long periods, making them easy to care for plants.

 

There are two parts to an aloe plant, the outer rind of the leaf, and the inner gel. The gel is what most people think of when they think of Aloe. The gel inside is largely clear to a slightly milky color and odorless at the innermost section of the leaf. The outer rind has a layer just inside it, but before you reach the gel that is called Aloin, which seeps from the leaf when the leaf is cut like a tree sap and is part of the plant's natural defense mechanism.

The color of the Aloin latex is yellow and tastes bitter. If you’re ingesting aloe, you want to consume the gel, which is safe for human consumption and quite nutritious. The latex part of the plant has laxative properties and can cause digestive irritation if consumed in large quantities.

The Nutritional Value of Aloe

Aloe Vera has a lot of nutritional value that can be derived from it, which can help to support a strong immune system and help maintain your health. It has over 200 active components with naturally occurring vitamins, amino acids, and minerals. So, what is inside the aloe gel from inner leaf? Below is a list:

Vitamins included in Aloe Vera are A, C, E, B1, B2, B3, B6, and B12. The vitamins A, C, and E are excellent antioxidants and help fend off free radicals. Maintaining a diet high in antioxidants is commonly associated with a whole host of health benefits, such as heart health.  While Aloe Vera alone is not a source of any of these items at a level to constitute a vitamin supplement, it is certainly packed with nutrients and is a healthy part of a balanced diet.

 

  • Vitamin A is essential for a strong immune system and bone growth. Vitamin A helps support a healthy immune response.
  • Vitamin C is said to also support a robust immune response. Vitamin C is commonly associated with a strong immune system.
  • Vitamin E can help support heart health and a strong immune system.
  • B1 vitamin:B1 is also known as thiamine. It helps support digestion and contributes to a healthy immune and nervous system.
  • B2 Vitamin: B2 is also called riboflavin, and its job is to work as an antioxidant. This vitamin provides your body with energy by creating fuel from food. It is an essential element in helping maintain a strong nervous system.
  • B3 vitamin: B3 is known as niacin, is used to support healthy cholesterol and blood sugar levels, which can help maintain brain function. It is also used to cleanse your body of toxins and helps to promote good digestion.
  • B6: B6 is essential to many of your body’s systems. This includes as a key component in maintaining cardiovascular, immune, and digestive health. This vitamin is also connected to the dopamine and serotonin process.
  • B12: B12 is necessary for creating DNA and is a component of healthy blood cells.
  •  

    Other Key Benefits of Aloe Vera

    Aloe helps maintain digestive health by supporting the mucosal tissues in your gut. It can also help with maintaining balanced stomach acidity and supporting overall digestive comfort. Aloe can help support the immune system and overall gut health. It can also help maintain healthy cholesterol and support natural joint comfort.

    Side effects of Aloe Vera

    As with anything you ingest, aloe should be taken with caution if mixing with prescription medicines. It possibly could decrease your body’s blood clotting capabilities, so consult with a medical professional if you are planning to go into surgery.

    Be sure to choose the Aloe Vera Products that are made by a reputable company that grows their own Organic Aloe, like AloeCure. You want to be sure that the product you’re buying is extracted and processed to not reduce Aloe Vera's beneficial properties.

It’s a product that contains fresh organic ingredients like Aloe, and it all remains fresh as the manufacturer starts the production immediately after harvest in 12 hours. Aloderma can also assist with sun care, to soothe cuts and scrapes, and even as hair and facial mask. Aloderma can be used throughout the day to keep the skin hydrated and soothe irritated skin. While using this product it has brought my skin back to its normal radiance by improving the texture and appearance of my skin. It’s a strong product that requires a week to see a better result. It requires consistency and following manufacturer guidelines on how it should be used. I strongly recommend this skin care product due to its effectiveness and quality in transforming the skin into a better texture and appearance that glows. I haven’t noticed any side effects and I believe it works better.

    I didn't think my sleep would improve with these.... All of a sudden I hit my 40's and I started having a lot of trouble sleeping. I don't know what is in these, but I am having a MUCH MORE restful sleep lately. I am going to buy them again as soon as this bottle runs out.

My Sister In Law said her best friend a famous Holidstic M.D, with a practice in Beverly Hills, London and Florida, said take 8 oz. of aloe per day, 4 oz before breakfast and 4 before bed. Add in Magnesioum drops to both doses of Aloe and you won't evenknow your digestive tract was ever there. Well I did the research, since liquid is the best for me versus a capsule and found Aloe Cure. After about a week, I noticed how much better my digestion was and I began to feel like myself again! It has been a Godsend for me! I love that it's cold, because once you open it, to keep it fresh, you must refrigerate it, so it is so refreshing, tastes fantastic and like I said it works! Pleae don't hesitate to get your Aloe Cure today and by the way I know this review is so good that it sounds like I work for the company! I wish I did! Blessings everyone and the best of health!!!

    I have been using the Grape Flavored AloeCure for several years and I know it has helped my gut. I do as directed - 4T before breakfast and 4T before dinner. The taste is great and really helps to balance my stomach acidity. I recommend this product highly and the cost is very resonable.
