Aloe Vera and Anthraquinones: What You Need to Know

Aloe Vera has been known for its healing properties for thousands of years. However, not all Aloe Vera products are the same, and without proper treatment of the aloe leaf, some can contain irritants and carcinogens.

 Desert Harvest Super-Strength Aloe Vera uses the entire Aloe Vera leaf, not just the gel. Our patented freeze-dry process filters out all the anthraquinones and insoluble fiber. We use this cold process to avoid breaking down the nutrients and enhance bioavailability. That’s why our Super-Strength Aloe Vera has the highest nutrient intake on the market, with more than 200 nutrients, including antibacterials, antifungals, antivirals, anti-microbials, anti-inflammatories, analgesics, and more—and all without harmful anthraquinones. It’s all part of what makes Desert Harvest unique and uniquely free of toxic chemicals.

 An artist and cancer survivor of more than 40 years, Jenean LaCorte began a second career as a medical tattooist after her sister-in-law underwent a bilateral mastectomy as part of breast cancer treatment. 

Last month, Desert Harvest announced it is seeking approval from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use of its Super-Strength Aloe Vera Capsules in the treatment of Interstitial Cystitis (IC) a.k.a. Bladder Pain Syndrome (BPS). If approved, this could be a huge step forward in the lives of the 12 million men and women who suffer from the painful chronic bladder condition.
