Ever since Egypt’s Queen Cleopatra first dipped her toe into a bath of Ass’s milk, women have spent thousands of years (and millions of $$) in the pursuit of a beautiful complexion. Cleopatra’s beauty may have been legendary but even she felt the need for some help from time to time! And where did she turn to – Aloe Vera – a member of the Lily family, whose name in Sanskrit, kumari, means princess. Aloe vera is one of the oldest known therapeutic herbs and is renowned worldwide as healing plant. Cleopatra revered the use of aloe as one of her best beauty secrets.
Ancient records show that the benefits of Aloe Vera have been known to mankind for centuries. Its therapeutic advantages and healing properties have survived more than 5000 years. Aloeride, being 100% pure Aloe Vera, has the same abilities as found in the plant.
However, until now, no one had ever investigated how Aloe possessed these abilities.
Recent studies by Dr. Ivan E. Danhof, M.D., Ph.D., president of North Texas Research Laboratories and a retired Professor of Physiology from the University of Texas have shown that production of fibroblast cells in the dermis - or lower layer of the skin - can be influenced by properties found in the gel from the Aloe Vera plant. In fact, the production of fibroblast cells can be dramatically increased stimulating the production of that element so loved by Hollywood stars and plastic surgeons alike - collagen!
Fibroblast cells are found in the dermis (or lower layer) of the skin. It is these cells that are in charge of producing collagen, which is the skin’s support protein. Fibroblast will slow the collagen production because of natural aging and exposure to the sun. As aging progresses, the quality of collagen diminishes and, correspondingly the skin will wrinkle more. Dr. Danhof’s studies found that the aloe not only improved the fibroblast cell accuracy, but that amazingly, the gel quickened the production 
of collagen.
As we age, our skin is probably the only organ we have that cannot be replaced, yet it has to withstand a daily onslaught from dirt, bacteria and the weather – we certainly depend on it, and so we should do all we can to take care of it.
At this time, however, it is still not exactly known which ingredient in aloe gives it the ability to affect fibroblast cells and collagen production. The polysaccharides - a sugary substance found in aloe - gives the gel a tremendous moisture fastening property and are known to have some involvement on aging. Dr. Danhof believes these polysaccharides could reorganize epidermal cells located in the skin’s thin protective surface barrier. Aging causes the cells in this region to become loose. Water and moisture can easily escape causing skin preventing cells from maturing properly. In addition, many things such as dirt, bacteria, etc. can easily ingress causing dry, scaly skin. By making the epidermal cell fit tighter together the complexion will grow younger looking and the protective covering to the inner layers of skin will start to work together again.
This same moisture binding action also works against the severe dryness, which happens with burned tissue. Aloe works so well on burns that there are hospitals worldwide that use Aloe as an agent for combating the serious effects of burns on a daily basis.
Dr. Danhof also found that aloe could penetrate the skin quicker than water - an unusual discovery considering aloe is 99.5 percent water! Yet, empirical evidence shows that it must have an ingredient which gives it the ability to penetrate fast, certainly plain water cannot penetrate to the layers of the skin where the aloe can go.
Aloe has two other qualities, which are well-known benefits. The calming and healing change it seems to have on damaged skin. Cuts, scrapes, burns, bug-bites and the like are all eased immediately when gently rubbed with the thick gel. Some medical diseases like acne will also respond well to the aloe due to its calming effect on the inflammation of the skin’s pores. This inflammation also produces swelling, irritation, pimples, and pustules, but the calming and healing benefits of the aloe help mitigate these factors.
The pure aloe vera in Aloeride is packed with vitamins and minerals as well as the constituents of the aloe gel. Because Aloeride is available in pill form, it the cleanest, most convenient way to benefit from Aloe vera on a daily basis. Simply incorporate it into your daily routine and watch the benefits before your very eyes.
