Thus, you want the manufacturer's reliable assurance, in writing, that not only is the species correct - but also from harvest, to filleting (removing the outer leaf to retain only the clear gel), to manufacturing the process is four hours or less. If you can't have this assurance, look elsewhere.
Aloe must be "stabilized". This is a process (involving neither heat nor chemicals that would destroy the Aloe's original compounds) that assures the Aloe (such as the final juice or gelly, or lotion product) is essentially the same as if you freshly filleted the leaf yourself.
If it is not properly stabilized (in four hours or less from the time the leaf is harvested), it may also be of no nutritional value. The reason is because Aloe Vera oxidizes within four hours (much as an apple or potato turns brown when exposed to the air for a period of time) from the time the gel is exposed to the air. Once so oxidized, the gel loses it's nutritional value.
Again - Aloe barbadensis miller, of the 200+ species of Aloe Vera, is the most potent and nutritious - with only mature plants bearing the greatest benefits. If your Aloe Vera product isn't produced from the Aloe barbadensis miller plant you are not getting the best quality product. If it is not properly stabilized (in four hours or less from the time the leaf is harvested), it may also be of no nutritional value.
Why should we drink only FLP's Aloe Vera Gel?
These following facts explained themselves that why would someone consume FLP Aloe Vera gel, instead of other brands:
1. FLP own its own Aloe Vara plantations in the fertile Rio Grande velly in southern Texas, Dominican Republic and Mexico. FLP grows only the Aloe Barbadensis Miller specie of the plant that has the most nutritional compounds, even though there are around 300 different species of aloe vera. Our cold pressed, stabilized aloe vera is the very finest available. To keep at the highest standard FLP has vertically Integrated entire aloe process. It means we control everything from feilds to factory, to research and development , to pakings, to shipping and distribution. This allow us to guarantee the qualities of FLP products to our millions of customers and distributors. who depends upon them for healthier and more rewarding livelihood.
2. FLP processes its aloe vera leaves within a hours of its harvesting. They are washed and rinsed twice before being carefully filtered. Immediate after filtering, the raw gel is stabilized by a proven, patented process which preserve essentially all of the 248 different medication, nutritional compounds naturally occurring in the plant. Only pure aloe vera gel is used. The leaf along with the yellowish lining9 called aloin) is discarded. The pulp of the raw gel then undergoes a stabilization process that protects it from oxidation and seal it tightly without getting exposed to air.
3. Only matured Aloe plants providing 100% gel . The FPL harvested that plant and used for manufacturing . Modern harvesting technique are employed throughout the farm system and no pesticide, no herbicide are used in any phase of operation. After approx. 3 - 4 years of careful cultivation, each mature aloe vera leafs gently removed from the plant by our worker with their hand.
4. The facilities, machinery, test equipment's etc. subjects to stringent government regulation. Every batch of every products manufactured is tested a number of times to ensure purity and consistency before during and after final formulations before release by quality control. Once the aloe gel had been tested and approved it is transferred to FLP product manufacturing plant, where it is put through a series of microbiological and quantitative testings.
5. Once approved, the gel is transferred to our product formation tanks. When the compounding phase is completed, the product is filled on our automated filling line. The bottels are sealed to drinks, against cotamination and its store-life. The bottles are made with a unique three layer's plastic which further protect the product from oxidation and keeps it fresh. Our revolutionary bottling equipment can produce over 100,000 bottle per shift and more than 3 bottles of Aloe Vera gel filled,sealed and packed per second.
6.The food and drug testing laboratories of New York conducted an independent test, comparing FLP's stabilized aloe gel with the gel from raw, matured Aloebarbadensis leaf. The two were found by them to be " essential & identical. The FLP's Products aloe vera gel has been certified by the International Aloe Science Council and earned the right to display the council's seal of approval on the gel bottle.
7. FLP's Aloe vera products have been approved, not only by International Aloe Science Council, but they carry KOSHER rating seal of approval as we well as Islamic seal of approval and none of the products have been tested on animals.
