Source Naturals is the first to combine aloe with the popular herb stevia. In addition to natural raspberry flavor Aloe Verite, Source Naturals offers Aloe Verite with stevia and three other varieties: natural Aloe Verite apple with stevia, and lemon-lime with stevia. Whole Leaf- Aloe Verite is made from the whole leaf of the aloe plant, allowing for maximum gel extraction. NOT FROM CONCENTRATE- Most aloe concentrates have been boiled, a process that destroys many of the long chain polysaccharides, known as polysaccharides. Aloe Verite is pure juice. It is processed in a manner that insures that all the heat sensitive nutrients of the aloe plant remain potent. The result is a truly exceptional aloe product. SAFE- Potentially harmful compounds (aloin and emodin), found in the latex of the aloe vera leaf, have been removed. To protect the aloe from contamination, a minimal amount of the preservative is added. PURE- The aloe used in Aloe Verite is carefully harvested by hand, then cleansed and filtered to maintain the active constituents. ORGANIC ALOE- Aloe Verite is made from organically grown aloe vera leaves from the Aloe barbadensis plant. These plants have been certified as organically grown by the Texas Department of Agriculture.
