Aloe vera has been used for centuries as a natural remedy for medicinal uses, and even today, it’s still the most talked-about plant for health and wellness. What many people don’t know is that while aloe vera offers a long list of health benefits, the raw plant itself isn’t always safe to consume or apply directly to the skin. Between the outer rind and the inner gel of the aloe leaf lies a yellowish liquid known as aloin or aloe latex, which contains anthraquinones. These are compounds that can cause some pretty harmful side effects if consumed.
Which brings us to our next point on why bottled aloe matters. Here, our harvested aloe plants go through a careful process to remove the harmful parts of the plant while still keeping all the beneficial properties intact. Sometimes the best way to figure out which product is right for you is to look past the label and read into what’s actually inside the product you’re buying. Not every bottled aloe product retains the same level of quality, and that’s where Lily of the Desert stands apart.
Commonly Associated Benefits of Aloe Vera
Let’s dive into some of the many ways aloe vera has been talked about over the years and the properties people often associate with it. The most obvious and well-known reason being digestive support. Aloe vera has long been linked with supporting digestive comfort, and it’s frequently mentioned in connection with easing things like heartburn or balancing stomach acidity and other digestive health support.
Another area where aloe is often highlighted is hydration. With its naturally water-rich makeup and electrolytes, it’s regularly pointed to as a plant that can help replenish the body. Aloe is also part of many conversations around nutrient absorption, since some believe it helps the body make better use of vitamins and minerals from food. And lastly, aloe is often connected with immune support, thanks to its mix of antioxidants and naturally occurring vitamins.
Aloesorb™: Lily’s Breakthrough in Aloe
After years of research studying the aloe plant inside and out, our team set out to answer the big question: “How can we make aloe’s natural properties even more beneficial to our customers who use it?”. In 2007, we launched Aloesorb™, our patented process designed to elevate aloe’s natural bioavailability.
Extensive clinical testing has shown that Aloesorb™ improves how the body takes in and uses aloe’s natural compounds. By concentrating the high–molecular–weight polysaccharides already present in the plant, this process increases the bioavailability of nutrients up to a 10x increase compared to conventional aloe products. It’s this commitment to science and quality that sets Lily of the Desert apart, giving customers aloe products they can trust to support digestion, nutrient absorption, and immune health.
But what does this research mean in practice? Aloesorb™ helps increase nutrient absorption so the body can better utilize the vitamins and minerals in your diet. It enhances antioxidant activity, offering added support for maintaining balance and overall wellness. And because of its link to digestive function, Aloesorb™ contributes to the support of a healthier gut environment. Together, these advancements highlight why Lily’s Aloe is trusted as the leader in aloe vera for digestion, aloe vera for immune support, and the broad spectrum of aloe vera benefits.
Why Lily Leads In The Aloe Industry
As aloe experts, we could go on all day about why our bottles earn their place on the shelf, and we promise, we’re not just being biased. From sustainable farming to clinical studies, here are a few reasons customers continue to choose Lily of the Desert when looking for aloe vera benefits they can trust.
A Farm-to-Bottle Aloe Process You Can Count On
- Sustainably grown in Mexico’s desert soil: Our aloe is organically cultivated in the rich soils of northern Mexico, free of chemical pesticides or herbicides. Instead of mass seeding, we replant small “pups” from mature aloe plants to naturally expand our crops, a method that protects the land while producing healthier plants.
- Harvested by hand at peak maturity: After 2–4 years of growth, leaves are carefully cut by hand. They’re placed directly into refrigerated trucks, keeping the plant’s natural properties intact from the field to our processing facility in the Rio Grande Valley of Texas.
- Quality tested at every step: Each batch is checked multiple times for purity, potency, and consistency before it ever reaches the bottle, to guarantee customers get the same trusted product every time.
- Options for every lifestyle: We even offer preservative-free varieties for customers looking for aloe in its closest-to-nature form.
