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.
