EVER WONDER WHERE THE ALOE IN BODY BALANCE COMES FROM?
The aloe vera plant has been proclaimed throughout history as Mother
Nature's miracle plant. Modern studies have validated its many health
benefits. These benefits appear to be due to the wide variety of
phytonutrients that aloe possesses, with mucopolysaccharides being
the key category.
Some health-support benefits include: enhancing digestion, supporting
immune system function, and possessing anti-inflammatory properties.
It is for these reasons that aloe is an integral part of the formula
we know as Body Balance.
However, not all aloes are alike, and many things affect the ultimate
quality. It begins with where the aloe plant is grown. Our aloe
is grown in fertile fields at the base of a volcanic mountain in
Mexico near the equator. This is significant for several reasons:
-The fields are fed with water rich in volcanic trace minerals.
-The amount of sunlight and precipitation is ideal for aloe, and
even the wind plays a part.
-It is certified "organic" under the protocols set by
QAI (Quality Assurance International). Everything is hand-farmed
from preparing the soil, to planting, to cultivating, to artfully
cutting the leaves.
Only fully mature leaves are harvested, and quickly moved to the
processing plant. There, only the inner filet of the leaf is used
with the remainder being mulched and recycled as fertilizer back
to the fields.
Consequently, the aloe we use in Body Balance has many certifiable
quality features, such as:
-Carries the seal of the IASC (International Aloe Science Council).
The IASC oversees standardization of aloe vera worldwide.
-Mucopolysaccharides. This is the primary quality benchmark. "Simple
strength" is a count around 1,200. The aloe in Body Balance
measures at least 1,500, and can be as high as 2,000.
-Certified organically grown.
-Certified kosher grown.
Body Balance - It's "the leading phytonutrient product on
the planet" for a reason!
