Why choose Aloe Vera (Aloeride®)

 

Why choose Aloeride® over other aloe vera products is a question some people, who haven’t used Aloeride® yet, may ask themselves. With so many aloe vera products on offer and confusing abound, knowing what the right choice is can be difficult. Paragraph by paragraph this article talks you through what the implication is of everything in our Aloeride® factsheet.



Aloeride® is the only aloe vera food supplement in the world manufactured to pharmaceutical GMP (classified as grade D (EU grade)/ class 100,000 (US class Federal Standard 209E) / ISO 8) including stability tests.

All manufacturers have the choice what Quality Control they produce to and from the independent lab tests you may conclude that many place their bottom lines and profit margins before your best interests. We set out to make the absolute best possible aloe vera product for you, with independently documented, verifiable Quality Control and we let financial implications be a secondary issue. This may not make the best business sense but to us it makes the best human sense.

Aloeride®’s Methanol Precipitated Solids (working ingredients) measurement reaches an unparalleled 4,680 mg/L, Size Exclusion Chromatography measured a vastly superior spectrum of ß-linked polysaccharides*.

Because Aloeride® uniquely contains all the required molecules in abundance, it has what it takes to deliver what research has shown aloe vera can do. You’d be surprised how many manufacturers quote research without bothering to deliver the molecules necessary for those researched effects.


Aloeride® is a powder that does not need stabilisers, colouring agents, flavourings or other undesirable additions routinely found in fluid aloes.

This is one aspect of what makes Aloeride® a unique 100% pure and hypoallergenic product. Striving for purity invites and embraces even the most sensitive and discerning of aloe vera users.


Aloeride® is 100% pure with only totally inert SiO2 and Stearyl Fumerate as flow agents for encapsulation.

Without a flow agent one cannot get a consistent powder quantity into a capsule, we use a minimal amount of flow agents that does absolutely nothing in/to your body; another aspect of what makes Aloeride® a 100% pure and hypoallergenic product.


Aloeride® is hypo-allergenic, to the species of aloe vera itself there is no known allergy, sensitive people who react to fluid aloes very often have trouble with the additions or the poorer quality aloe used.
Aloeride® can help those who reportedly didn’t tolerate other aloe vera products.



Aloeride® has a negligible <0.1ppm laxative polyhydroxyanthraquinones*, avoiding diarrhoea even in higher dosages.

It is a manufacturer’s choice whether or not their product contains laxative aloe vera molecules, for delicate digestive systems it is absolutely vital to have next to none. So we make Aloeride® fall below the smallest detectable quantity.


Aloeride® comes in tiny coni-snap capsules that can be swallowed easily by children as well as by adults who have difficulty in swallowing pills.
It makes Aloeride® so much easier to use, swallow a bit of water first then swallow the tiny capsule(s) with more water. As easy as one-two-three, even for small kids.


Aloeride® has no taste, virtually all of the fluid aloes taste horrible.
Very welcome - for kids as well as adults - especially because aloe gels/liquids are not a better option anyway.


Encapsulated and blister foiled,Aloeride® has a shelf life of 2 years from manufacture as opposed to 1 month refrigerated use from the moment of opening for all fluid aloes.
Welcome news to episodical users.


 No refrigeration is necessary with Aloeride®. Portability in hygienic blister foil + no refrigeration required = instant usability when people feel the need for it. Hugely important for those who want help there and then, and for whom aloe vera juice in the fridge at home would be useless.


One pharmaceutical grade, certified bovine gelatine (certified Kosher) capsule contains: 180mg total process Aloe Vera Barbadensis Miller powder + 1.8mg inert Aerosil 200 BP NF (Silicon Dioxide SiO2 is quartz, the most common mineral and major constituent of many minerals) + 0.9mg inert Stearyl Fumerate
Our deceptively small capsules contain virtually nothing other than pure aloe vera powder of an exemplary quality which contributes to making Aloeride® a hypoallergenic product. Other products flag wave to have more milligrams but none so far are in the same galaxy when it comes to delivering a meaningful quantity working molecules.

If so desired, one can easily open the coni-snap capsule so as to ingest the Aloeride® powder only.
Aloeride® is a very versatile product.

How can there be more in a small pack of Aloeride® compared to a 1 litre bottle of aloe vera juice? Aloe raw material has a ratio of 0.5gr (500mg) of total solids per 100mL of original juice which contains 99.5mL (= mg as 1L = 1000gr, 1mL = 1gr = 1000mg) of water. One Aloeride® 180mg capsule = [180mg/500mg solids part] x 100mL = 36mL of original juice x 28 capsules/pack = 1,008mL so that is just over 1 litre of aloe vera juice. One pack of Aloeride® equates well to 1L of original juice. In that 1L, measured by independent laboratory tests, is 4,680mg/L of working ingredients (part of the total solids) and these 4,680mg consist of a very significantly better, ß-linked polysaccharide profile.

It may be tempting to underestimate our small capsules but you would be so totally wrong. Tankards and bottles look like Goliath compared to our pack that is David; but we all know the outcome of that one and with Aloeride® history repeats itself.

More molecules in a superior spectrum is the secret behind Aloeride®’s success.
Success shows in more and more people recommending and using Aloeride®. Aloeride® has featured in magazine editorials and is being talked about on UK live radio.

Aloeride® is available in fantastic discount multipack offers.
It is our pleasure to make the very best aloe vera product affordable to just about everybody. We can do this because we keep tight control of our overheads and deal with customers direct.

Mouth ulcers, IBD and Aloe Vera

People suffering from Coeliac disease or IBD (Ulcerative Colitis and Crohn’s Disease) sometimes get extra-intestinal symptoms next to their digestive problem. One of such is small ulcers in the mouth.



Recurrent Aphthous stomatitis (RAS) and recurrent intraoral herpes (RIH) are the two most commonly presenting oral lesions in dentistry recurrent. Recurrent Aphthous Ulcerations (RAU) is another form of mouth ulcer but is considered an immunological deficiency. Why aphts appear in people with Inflammatory Bowel Disease is unknown but often it coincides with flare-ups and usually the ulcer(s) heal(s) with remission of the IBD.


Aloeride® has proven exceptionally useful in the management of mouth ulcers, it significantly speeds up healing time and helps with pain. How to use Aloeride® is discussed further on, first however a little more information to put mouth ulcers in context.


Causes of mouth ulcers can be linked to microbial disease (like Herpes, chickenpox, infectious mononucleosis), to gastrointestinal disease (Coeliac, Crohn’s, Ulcerative Colitis), to skin disease (like lichen planus, erythema multiforme), to blood disorders (like leukaemia, neutropenia), to rheumatoid diseases (like systemic lupus erythematosus, Behçet’s disease, Reiter’s syndrome) or to drugs (cytotoxic agents, Nicorandril, NSAIDs and oral nicotine replacement therapy). Reading this list you can understand why, if a mouth ulcer persists for more than 3 weeks, a differential diagnosis should be made, possibly via biopsy or other investigations to exclude malignancy or serious conditions.


When not caused by a specific condition, mouth ulcers can be related to food sensitivities or nutritional deficiencies (Oral Surg, 1982, 54: 388-95; BMJ, 1975; 2: 490-3). In one study of 330 individuals with recurrent mouth ulcers, 14.2% proved to be deficient in Iron, Folic Acid and/or vitamin B12. The majority of whom achieved a complete remission when their deficiencies were eliminated by supplements. (J Oral Path, 1978; 7: 418-23). For patients who are deficient in Zinc, taking extra zinc supplements has proved effective (BMJ, 1975; 2: 490-3) and this is because Zinc is required for the development and activation of T-lymphocytes. For centuries, medicated zinc bandages have been found to have a soothing and beneficial effect on leg ulcers.


It is well known that people with Coeliac disease, Ulcerative Colitis and Crohn’s Disease suffer from a varying degree of impaired tolerance to foods and a reduced uptake of nutrients. Gluten and wheat sensitivity are on the top of that list. Finding well tolerated, highly absorbable wholefood supplements whilst using Aloeride® both as a buffer and to facilitate nutrient uptake will help to overcome such a deficiency.


Whilst ulcers are present you definitely shall want to change to Macrobiotic type of meals which are nutritious but bland, soft foods devoid of spices or salt thus not causing irritation. Medical treatment can include antiseptic chlorhexidine mouthwashes, hydrocortisone pellets, antibiotic pastes or topical corticosteroids. Increasingly people use topical Aloeride® aloe vera to this list.


A randomised controlled trial published in the British Journal of Dermatology confirmed empirical findings that aloe vera can help mouth ulcers associated with oral lichen planus (Volume 158, Number 3, March 2008, pp. 573-577(5).


Out of 54 patients, half of whom received topically applied aloe vera and half of whom received a placebo, 81% of patients treated with aloe vera had a good response after eight weeks of treatment, while only 4% of placebo patients had a similar response. Where improvement occurred, it was on a significantly greater scale in those treated with aloe vera, a 50% symptom improvement was scored in 63% of the aloe vera patients but only in 7% of the placebo group. Burning pain completely disappeared in 33% of the aloe vera patients, compared with only 4% of the placebo group.

Dentist Dr. Timothy Moore wrote a paper about using aloe vera in over 6,000 of his patients. He stated that both patients and doctors noted the healing capabilities of aloe vera to far exceed their expectations in pain control, oedema control and healing time reduction. Next to intraoral lesions he applies aloe vera to periodontal surgery sites, traumatized gum tissue, ulcerations as discussed here, chemical burns, extraction sites (these sites respond more comfortably and dry sockets do not develop when aloe vera is applied) and around dental implants to control inflammation from bacterial contamination.

When you use Aloeride® for mouth ulcers you should appreciate that contact time is of the essence. Open a capsule and empty its content onto a spoon, now put the powder in your mouth and add some water to it. Swill that mixture around your mouth for no less than 5 minutes. If say, you have a mouth ulcer on the left cheek or gums then of course you lean your head slightly in that direction so the mixture of water and Aloeride® powder is in contact with the lesion. After the 5 minutes you swallow the water with Aloeride® powder. You can repeat this procedure upto 4 times a day. Should a mouth ulcer persist for more than 3 weeks then you are advised to see a physician.

Say ‘aloe’ to a fab travel companion

You’ve packed your bags. You’ve got your tickets and you travel. Fantastic, but may have left something behind that should have been in your wash bag or beauty case.

There are three things people commonly meet when going on holiday: sunshine, new food types and alcohol. And fancy there being one single herb that has something to offer for all three…

Aloe vera is known to ease the effects of the above and good aloes may help your natural immune response. There is plenty of good research to underpin that aloe vera delivers these effects. Many people know aloe vera as a liquid in bottles, hardly the thing to pack into a suitcase! So you will be interested to know that there is one blisterfoiled, encapsulated aloe product available that is manufactured to pharmaceutical GMP standard.* It takes up no space in your travel bags (or your coat pocket) and, as it so happens, it contains way more working ingredients than other aloe products.

Eases Digestion & Hangovers
Travel guides immediately gravitate towards travel diarrhoea due to contaminated water (and ice cubes) or contaminated food stuffs. Sensible too, because during a two week vacation, up to 50% of people will have one or more episodes of it, the person suffering from it can feel very ill indeed and it can certainly be distressing enough to ruin a holiday or business trip. [Steffen R, DuPont H, Wilder-Smith A. Manual of Travel Medicine and Health, 2nd ed. BC Decker Inc., Ontario, Canada, 2003.]  Fortunately for most European and American Continent travellers, things rarely get this drastic. But you’ll be surprised how many people do get a dicky tummy travelling.

Aloeride® placates the stomach and the gut lining (gastrointestinal tract), studies in aloe research show aloe to have ulceroprotection properties as well as to accelerate healing rates.** There are at least eight proper research papers on aloe’s natural anti-inflammatory effect, so a food irritated digestive tract will feel so much better for taking just a few capsules. It also is an extraordinary help the-day-after drinking beyond an elegant sufficiency of alcohol the night before, just two tiny capsules settle that horrible stomach feeling. Of course you’ll never need it for that but still.

Eases Sunburn
The seasoned traveller knows that on the beaches in the Caribbean you can get your back rubbed with a freshly cut chunk of aloe vera to appease the red skin. The interesting thing is that, when you take Aloeride® orally - 2 capsules a day one week before and during your holiday - , you can achieve a similar effect, it helps the skin bounce back from a sudden change in sunlight exposure and is likely to keep your tan for longer. So one herb made to unrivalled standards may make your holiday more enjoyable still.

Among plants aloe vera may be an Ugly Betty but it has a 4,000+ year track record of being hugely valued for improving both health and beauty. Earliest recorded pharmaceutical use dates back to 2100 BC (Sumeria/Babylon), also hieroglyphic inscriptions of aloe dated to 4100 BC were found in the tomb of an Egyptian Court physician. Queen Cleopatra and Queen Nefertiti, both renown for their stunning beauty, used aloe vera to stay healthy and beautiful. Aloe vera today still is unfailingly popular for the same reasons it was valued for throughout the ages.



Although aloe vera looks like a cactus, it actually is a succulent and a member of the Liliacae family (like the onion, garlic, asparagus, lily and the tulip). Unsurprisingly one of aloe vera’s nick names is ‘lily of the desert’ because that is where it grows naturally. To survive long periods of droughts these xeroids plants have the ability to retain and preserve large quantities of water.

Being able to survive such a harsh environment has interesting implications for you. When for instance an aloe leaf gets damaged it instantaneously repairs this damage thereby avoiding loss of water. Failure to quickly repair the injury site would result in evaporation of its precious reservoir and might jeopardise the plant’s health or survival. Such tissue repair and other powerful aloe vera properties are transferred to you when you ingest Aloeride®.

There are more than 350 varieties of aloe vera yet only 4 contain significant healing properties, the most nutrient dense of these is aloe vera barbadensis miller, the plant used to make Aloeride®. Aloe vera is a complex, interacting mixture of some 300 constituents including beta-linked polysaccharides, vitamins, minerals, amino acids, enzymes, lignins, saponins and anthraquinones.

The challenge in processing aloe vera is how to extract all of these synergistic molecules without damaging them or without significantly altering their ratios to one another. Next you must deliver all these synergistic molecules in meaningful quantities for only then can the many properties attributed to aloe vera manifest themselves. We chose to grow the best and process in the cleverest possible way and as a result Aloeride® emerges as the top flight aloe vera product in multiple, independent laboratory tests.

With a nick name like ‘lily of the desert’ you won’t be surprised to learn that aloe vera cannot tolerate frost. Its water content freezes at 28° Fahrenheit (minus 2°Celcius) causing the plant to die. Consequently most commercial growth of aloe vera happens south of the Equator. North of the Equator commercial growth still is precarious, aloe growers in the ‘dust bowl’ of southern Spain got clobbered when in February 2005 temperatures fell to minus 10° in Madrid and minus 20° in Aragon. But also south of the Equator the climate is changing, until recently Australia was a large producer of aloe vera like it was of wheat, cotton lint, wine grapes and rice. Their prolonged droughts caused a drop in wheat production by over 58% which made wheat


prices surge to a 10-year high, these drought also affected Australia’s aloe vera production where one company alone converted some 7,000 tonnes of aloe vera leaf into around three million litres of gel each year. An aloe vera plant needs 150mL water a month as otherwise it dies. Plants that do survive the drought generate more aloin and emodin, resulting in their gel having an even more bitter taste and stronger odour than usual. It is what dehydrated aloe does for self-preservation because emodin and aloin have anti-inflammatory, bactericidal, virucidal, fungicidal and anti-cancer effect. These hydroxyanthraquinone compounds become life savers as the dehydrated plant fights cell disorganisation and bacteria, viruses or fungi that prey on it.

However, what is good for a distressed aloe vera plant isn’t necessarily good for you. In the lower gastrointestinal tract barbaloin molecules are hydrolysed to create aloe emodin which acts as a laxative by increasing water retention and mucus secretion in the large intestine. Aloe vera crop surviving droughts may come with a sting in its tail that causes mayhem in sensitive digestive tracts.

In order to achieve product consistency in a changing climate, we perform routine laboratory tests on trial processed harvests and base our purchases on those outcomes. The effect of climate change reaches aloe vera crops worldwide and to date Aloeride® has needed to make two rejections because of our very exacting Quality Control. Climate change certainly makes optimal harvesting more challenging than it has been in the past decades but the customer feedback shows that keeping to our unique standards makes an appreciable difference to customer’s quality of life. An Ugly Betty aloe vera may be, but in Aloeride® it waves its magic wand supremely.
