POTENT Aloe Ferox
 
There has been alot of research done on the medical properties of Aloe vera. They have isolated an "active"  ingredient
called acemannan, which is the "essential" sugar mannose.
 
Some companies have extracted the acemannan from Aloe vera, which has been successfully used in numerous studies
to stimulate the immune system in the treatment of AIDS and other infectious diseases.
 
This has been Aloe vera's claim to fame. Since Aloe ferox does not contain the acemannan they argue that our aloe is
not as effective.
 
Well, they are WRONG and research proves it!!!
 
During the presentation of prof Fanie van Heerden from the University of KwaZulu Natal at the 8th Indigenous Plant
Use Forum (IPUF) she showed that a compound called Aloeride has potent immune STIMULATION activity.
 
Researchers have demonstrated that Aloeride is a much more POWERFUL immuno-stimulant than acemannan.

They even make the statement that acemannan's immuno-stimulatory activity is due to the presence of Aloeride.
 
Well of course!!! We have experienced it first-hand.
 
Aloe ferox may not contain acemannan but it works WONDERS!!!
