If you could turn back your biological clock and look younger from taking something that is good for you in numerous ways, wouldn’t you jump at the opportunity? There are so many cosmetics on the market that promise younger looking, more elastic skin, but they are often full of chemicals and endocrine disruptors that are cancer-causing along with other undesirable effects. However, just one tablespoon of organic aloe vera gel every day can significantly reduce wrinkles and make skin more youthful in appearance. Who knew the health benefits of aloe vera extended so far?
Aloe packed full of numerous nutrients and other substances that promote not only younger looking skin, but also a healthy body overall. The plant has 75 different nutrients including enzymes, anthraquinones, phenolic compounds, lignins, saponins, sterols, amino acids, salicylic acid (a common ingredient in acne medications that contain other unsavory chemicals) vitamins, minerals and healthy sugars. No wonder the herb is able to reduce wrinkles completely naturally and without side-effects.
One study conducted on women in their forties found that:
“Aloe gel significantly improves wrinkles and elasticity in photoaged human skin, with an increase in collagen production in the photoprotected skin and a decrease in the collagen-degrading MMP-1 gene expression. However, no dose-response relationship was found between the low-dose and high-dose groups.”
Without taking copious amounts (just 3600 milligrams a day) of this wonderful plant’s healing gel, we can turn back the clock. Especially for women who have spent years basking in the sun and have the skin to show for it, there is an internal remedy that can help to repair photo-aging.
Aside from using aloe vera for a more youthful appearance, we can utilize the plant as a topical salve for wounds, to help speed the healing of cuts and burns and when taken internally, to help control Diabetes and elevated blood lipid levels. It also helps to treat acne and soothe a sunburn, and reduce bleeding associated with gingivitis and gum disease.
Aloe vera gel can improve digestion and heal stomach ulcers as well as stomach upset, and irritable bowel syndrome. It can thin sticky blood, prevent kidney stones and help to oxygenate the body. It also reduces high blood pressure and makes yeast infections a thing of the past. Aloe vera has even been shown to help treat certain types of cancers.

So what’s the ultimate take away? Aloe vera can make you look young, but also keep numerous diseases at bay. It is truly a wonder-drug in natural form. You can grow your own aloe vere so that you always have it on hand, and eat the gel straight from the inside of the cactus-like leaves. Or simply purchase the gel in a supplement form – though we do recommend using it straight from the source.
Why is 'able to reduce wrinkles completely naturally' crossed out?
The link they have assigned to that text is unavailable Mary. i think the auto formatting crosses of, if some link is not available.
It's not.
So, straight from the source? Can you eat the gel from your own plant?
Can you eat the gel from you own plants? I have tons of plants I raise it..
Yes absolutely!
I eat the gel from the plant in my kitchen garden. Just take out a nice plump leaf from the plant, peel off a very thin layer of the skin, remove the side thorns and eat just the inside gel or pulp. You can have it with water if you dont like its taste.
If you are growing your own plant, then give it natural organic fertilisers like dried cow dung or compost made from kitchen waste, leaves and twigs.
I use aloe for healing allergic exema, sun burns, to use it in the smoothies… I saw immediate benefits on my face simply as a face mask . I believe that the real meat and juice of fresh or frozen plant is potent… and I really can not say it about stored juice or gels
Don't eat the green or yellow part of the aloe leaf.unless you want really bad diarrhea. Also, Aloe is useless a few hours after it is picked. you must use it immediately or the active ingredient is all gone. The active ingredient is acetylated polymannose or the official name is Acemannan. If you use a supplement that has not been fully stabilized then it has almost no acemannan. This long chain of mannose sugar molecules are responsible for the immune systems functioning correctly so skin is the least of what it can do. I have used one source of acemannan that is concentrated.and fully stabilized. It takes 600 to 1000 pounds of aloe vera to make one pound of the supplement that I use and boy does it work for all manner of body repairs, skin and everything else.

What is the supplement you take? I am eager to try it.
Thanks

This article mentions the clear gel out of the leaf. I think it is ridiculous to use so many pounds of a plant to make 1 pound of supplement. I’d consider it a scam to squeeze more money out the customers but I do not know the whole story behind it.
Which supplement do you use ?
Thanks,
Debbie
I put about half of a leaf in my daily smoothie. Peel back the skin, kind of like fileting a fish without the smell, then as my smoothie is mixing I rub the skin peels on my arms and neck. I have worked in the sun most of my life, so it's kind of a preventative for melanoma. I can't tell you how much better I feel. ulcers gone. I'm no youngster. When I bump into something, I get a black and blue mark. Most times the bump creates a bleeding situation as well. No more. The only time I bleed is when I'm picking weeds in the Bromeliads. Aloe Vera is a 2 thumbs up.
When you cut a piece of the leave, there is a red-yellow liquid that goes out of the plant. I heard that it is necessary to wait a moment until this liquid has gone, and after we can use the gel.
several aloe products from the best supplier on the net: other pages also, clik go back from that page and get more:

That's not an Aloe supplement – it's a bloody H2O filter – and YOU are peddling it!!
How long would you have to leave the aloe gel on your face?
You don't – you DRINK it! It works from the inside out. I add one or two ounces of aloe vera juice (bottled) to my smoothies a couple times a week or whenever I don't have enough liqiud I use it instead of adding water.
you should keep the aloe vera gel a minimum of one hour. best is to apply at night before going to bed and leave it over night. Regular application for 2 3 months will make the skin smooth, soft and remove dark spots.
The is gel is easily absorbed by the skin without making it oily or sticky.
Also, use the fresh gel from the plant immediately once you pluck it as it loses its healing properties once it gets oxidized.
I keep several large plants that are over 5yrs old and quite large.Found a formula from "Father Zago",aloe,honey,and a small amount of alcohol,to emulsify and blend the two.The formula is supposedly for serious disease,but I like to use it as an occansional tonic.
Is there any way to nudge Doug Bullock to give us the reply we've been asking for?
