Uncle Harry’s Aloe Vera Gel Concentrate

          Uncle Harry’s Aloe Vera Gel Concentrate provides a preservative free alternative to all the aloe gel drinks that invariably contain preservatives like potassium sorbate and citric acid. Now you can mix at any time a fresh batch of aloe vera gel drink that is completely free of additives like thickeners and preservatives. You can also mix the aloe vera gel concentrate into smoothies and other drinks to easily benefit from the health promoting properties of aloe vera.

The Uniqueness of Uncle Harry’s Aloe Vera Gel Concentrate

          Uncle Harry guarantees that its aloe vera gel concentrate contains by weight 10 % polysaccharide retention. Its gel concentrate is more biologically active than naturally occurring aloe gel because the polysaccharides that are in the highly active molecular weight range have been concentrated. The beneficial properties of the plant are preserved ensuring a superior more effective aloe gel.

Importance of Biological Activity

          Scientists have determined that the retention of medium to higher weight polysaccharides enhance the biological activity found in Aloe Vera gel. Four specific scientific studies performed in recent years have demonstrated the remarkable health supportive qualities of concentrated Aloe Vera gel consumption. Dr. J.A. Vinson of the University of Scranton, PA, USA, presented his work demonstrating the increased bioavailability of vitamins C and E when taken in combination with Aloe vera. He performed a human clinical test with test subjects that were given doses of vitamin C or E with or without Aloe. His tests concluded that vitamin C in the blood increased 204% after eight hours, when taken in combination with Aloe vera. Similarly, the bioavailability of vitamin E increased 269% when taken with Aloe gel. In another study the daily consumption of Aloe vera suppressed free radical induced oxidative damage and age related increases in hepatic cholesterol. (Note: Lim,Choue,Kim,Yu, et al. Kyung Lee University, Kangwon National University, University of Texas Health Science Center and Konkuk University).

          A comparative study was performed using Aloe vera gel concentrate and fresh aloe vera gel. The Aloe vera gel concentrate was shown to support cell proliferation 28% better than fresh aloe vera gel. The test was performed on surface skin cells and kidney cells. Aloe vera gel concentrate stimulated cell proliferation 50% more than commercial processed Aloe vera liquid gels sold in stores.(Note: Qui,Jones, Wylie,Jia,Orndorff, Department of Drug Discovery and Screening, Univera Pharmaceuticals,Inc. Broomfield,CO.USA Planta Medica 66 (2000)) Further, Dr. Rana Singh demonstrated that oral consumption of Aloe vera induces the phase II enzyme system, reducing oxidative stress and oxidant-mediated damage of DNA that can lead to the development of cancer. In this remarkable paper, Dr Singh concludes that, “besides liver, other organs (lung,kidney and forestomach) were also influenced favorably by Aloe vera in order to detoxify reactive metabolites, including chemical carcinogens and drugs.” (Singh,Dhanalakshmi,Rao, Cancer Biology Laboratory, School of Life Sciences, Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi, India Phytomedicine, Vol. 7(3), pp. 209-219,2000)The use of the dry concentrate Aloe vera Gel powder mixed with water is more bioactive than commercial drinks that contain preservatives and even the fresh gel.

External Applications of Aloe Vera Gel Concentrate

          Aging Skin - Aging skin is characterized by thinning and wrinkling of the epidermis, combined with the appearance of lines, creases, age spots and furrows in the face. Daily consumption of Aloe Vera gel concentrate and topical application stimulates collagen and elastin deposition that supports healthy skin.

          Moisturizing - Studies show that Aloe vera gel liquid applied topically improves the skin’s ability to reduce loss of moisture and results in better hydration. Studies have demonstrated that the mucilaginous properties of the gel forms a protective layer that holds in moisture.

          Burn and wound healing - Aloe gel concentrate liquid ( 8 oz size with a drop of grapefruit seed extract) applied to a wound or burn frequently with a cotton swab increases the rate of wound closure by increasing cell proliferation.

          Anti-inflammatory - Aloe vera gel concentrate juice applied topically helps reduce swelling from injuries and supports recovery from infections.
          Immune support - Topical application of Aloe vera gel concentrate juice restores skin immune response following UVB exposure.

Internal Uses:

          Gastrointestinal Uses - Drinking Aloe vera juice stimulates phase 1 and phase 2 enzymes stimulates production of the body’s own antioxidants. This is effective against peptic ulcers and neutralizing stomach acid and internal wound healing. Antidotal testimonies attest that Aloe vera gel concentrate juice consumption has helped indigestion, irritable bowel syndrome, increased stomach acid, peptic ulcers, and colitis.

          Interstitial Cystitis and other bladder disorders - Regular consumption of Aloe vera gel concentrate in capsule form or juice may be effective to reduce urinary frequency, burning, and pain that accompany many bladder disorders, but especially interstitial cystitis.

Advantages of Uncle Harry’s Aloe Vera Gel Concentrate

          Uncle Harry’s Aloe vera gel concentrate powder is free of preservatives and any other additives. It is tasteless. The laxative causing constituents of the Aloe vera plant skin are not present in the powder. The powder immediately mixes with pure water. You can make small quantities of the gel juice as you need it guaranteeing freshness. If you decide to make a gallon at a time, we suggest keeping it in the refrigerator at all times for freshness. (Optionally, you may add a few drops of grapefruit seed extract into the gallon gel drink if you keep it for longer periods). You can add the gel concentrate into smoothies drinks and protein drinks to get the added benefits of Aloe vera.
