Aloe Vera is one of the most powerful natural health tonics known to man! Imagine slicing open an aloe leaf and consuming the gel straight from the plant. Forever's patented, stabilised aloe vera gel is 'essentially identical' to doing just that. Aloe vera drink, at a glance:

• Contains over 75 different vitamins, minerals and amino acids, including the rare vitamin B12- one of the only two vegetable sources available.
• Balances the immune system
• Assists in healthy digestion
• Produces healthy, glowing skin that looks younger and plumper
• Helps maintain healthy joints, and overall helps the body to balance itself.
• Most aloe vera drinkers find they have a lot more energy, their nails grow faster and stronger and their hair is always shining and healthy.

The positive influence is in part due to the adaptogenic nature of the gel- different bodies draw different benefits, according to their need for nutritional supplementation. Even those who have no particular ailment at present, report that it promotes a good healthy lifestyle and an increased sense of wellbeing. Take daily on an empty stomach to get all the benefits. It really is one of the best nutritional supplements available, and Forever is proud to lead the way in bringing these benefits to people around the world. Can't wait?
