George Warren, an Independent research chemist in Houston, Texas, developed the special processing method that prevents the spoilage without diminishing the essential properties of the Aloe Vera plant. This new method completely eliminates the aloins, which gives a bitter taste (and the greenish color) to Aloe Vera juices. He also successfully removed the starches and sugars from the polysaccharide molecular chain and thus, George's "Always Active®" Aloe requires no refrigeration, will not spoil in its natural state. This method adds no water, no preservatives, no chemicals of any kind. The finished product looks and tastes like spring water.
Aloe has been used for centuries to help in maintaining a healthy digestive tract. Evidence through different studies seem to indicate that beneficial properties in the Aloe help in allowing the body to rebuild mucous membranes. The thick greenish substance just beneath the rind in the latex layer of the plant is where the aloins and anthraqinones are located. These substances are irritants and when ingested can cause cramping and diarrhea and in some cases nausea. George's Aloe is a refined product. They remove the antagonistic compounds that cause the bitter taste and irritation to the GI tract.
