Real Aloe has been hand crafted since 1972. We use only fresh organic Aloe leaves grown in the U.S.A. The Aloe Vera used in our products has never been frozen, freeze-dried, or reconstituted from powder. We believe the original method of 'hand filleting' the leaves, allows us to maintain the maximum biological activity and effectiveness from the aloe leaf. Real Aloe Gel Description: A delicious, farm-fresh, hand-crafted refreshing Aloe Vera Gel. Our Gel is thicker than our Juice. It can be enjoyed chilled by itself or mixed in any beverage. A capful a day is all that is needed, so a bottle goes a long way. Manufactured with a 2-year shelf life in the same manner developed over 50 years ago.
