Processing of Aloe Mucilaginous Polysaccharides Explained
Freeze-Dried Aloe vs. Other Processes
In the betterment of your health, it is critical that you understand how the extraction process for aloe mucilaginous polysaccharides is executed. There are many methods, but there exists only 1 method, that allows the aloe polysaccharide healing molecules to remain intact. That method is known as Lyophilization, or in leigh mans terms: freeze-drying.
The following exert is paraphrased from a lecture by Dr. Ivan Danhof Ph. D., M.D. - The Therapeutic Component in Aloe Vera - in which he scientifically explains how the manufacturing process is key in the betterment of your health. If you're unaware of Dr. Ivan Danhof, Dr. Ivan Danhof is a world renowned author and researcher in aloe vera. He holds a Masters Degree in Nutrition, Masters Degree in Micro-Biology, and a PH.D. in Physiology. He earned a doctorate in internal medicines and in gastroenterology. Has consulted for The Food & Drug Administration and pharmaceutical research institutes. And has published over 80 research papers in his career.
As a result of his unique training and background, he is considered the worlds foremost expert on medically active plant molecules and, in particular, the functional component of aloe vera - aloe mucilaginous polysaccharide. The core healing ingredient and science behind SEROVERA® AMP 500.
Exert:
"The process of isolating aloe polysaccharides from the leaf is one of the major and most critical indicators. One of the major things that needs to be kept in mind is that the process will determine the quality of the aloe polysaccharide. These long-polysaccharides in the aloe leaf are very very delicate, so if the product is not handled appropriately, we can break down these long-polysaccharides and obviously then in the product their beneficial activities would no longer be available.
So, one of the best ways we can protect all of these various length in the aloe polysaccharide is a process whereby the material is exposed to cold and vacuum - a process called lyophilization or freeze-dried and it is the ideal mechanism for preventing any kind of change in these naturally occurring polysaccharides."
-Dr. Ivan E. Danhof
