Why should I use Aloeride® in preference to other aloe vera products?

There are several good reasons. We grow Aloe Vera Barbadensis Miller under textbook ideal circumstances and we process their aloe vera leaves better, resulting in both more and better working ingredients (view independent laboratory tests) which is the reason why Aloeride® aloe vera pills work quicker and better.

Aloeride® is an aloe vera preparation with < 0.1 parts per million of laxative polyhydroxyanthraquinones, so it cannot contribute to diarrhoea, you just get the benefits.

Aloeride® is dispensed in blisterfoiled, portable pills - portable so when instant use is desirable (such as in Irritable Bowel Syndrome or Inflammatory Bowel Disease) you can use it i.e. it is not a bottle of aloe liquid at home in the fridge.

Our odourless pills are small enough so that even children can easily take them. Despite all our advantages, our price point remains far lower than that of the world's biggest MLM producers.

Does Aloeride® interact with prescription drugs?

There is no known drug interaction in the sense of Aloeride® aloe vera pills affecting serum half-time or having direct interaction. Aloeride® taken either alone or in combination with oral hypoglycaemic drugs may lower blood sugar in people with type I and type II (non-insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus, which is why in our product insert we advise people to continue routine blood glucose monitoring.

Can I overdose on Aloeride®?

No, the worlds greatest expert on aloe vera Dr. Ivan E. Danhof PhD MD wrote us that, once all polysaccharide receptor sites in the digestive tract have been saturated by the aloe sugars, any remaining dosage simply passes through the alimentary canal and does no harm.

The dosage to achieve this limit is approximately 500mg and equates to 3 Aloeride® aloe vera pills for adults (possibly 4 should someone have more receptor sites). Our youngest user was less than 1 year old and it is very reassuring to know that, even in such a small child, it is impossible to overdose, what doesn't bind to the child's receptor sites simply leaves his/her alimentary canal.

Is Aloeride® certified by the International Aloe Science Council?

Yes, Aloeride® is certified by the International Aloe Science Council, but much more important than our I.A.S.C. accreditation, are Aloeride®'s exemplary independent laboratory results and our pharmaceutical GMP (classified as grade D (EU grade) / class 100,000 (US class Federal Standard 209E) / ISO 8).

We have taken the first step towards a THMPD (Traditional Herbal Medicine Product Directory) licence application with the MHRA (Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency).

Even though this licence does not have to be in place until 2011, we hope Aloeride® to become one of the first herbal products to be licensed.

Our opinion however is, that this licensing does not safeguard public health but it will rightfully place Aloeride® in a spearhead position within the herbal OTC food supplement market. Safeguard public health we do via our unique growth & processing, our pharmaceutical GMP and our pharmaceutical stability tests.

Does Aloeride® contain Manapol®?

Yes Aloeride® contains these molecules. Manapol® is a product made by Carrington Laboratories in the USA and Manapol® powder consists of roughly 25% acetylated mannans, 25% pectins, 25% methylcellulose, and 25% calcium malate.

Can I use Aloeride® whilst on the Specific Carbohydrate Diet?

Yes you can, and more to the point, you should use Aloeride® when on the SCD. Research (Bland 1985) shows beyond a shadow of doubt that it will improve your bacterial flora, it will reduce your gut permeability, it will reduce stool specific gravity and it will improve the gut pH which is a favourable environment for good bacteria growth within double fermented yoghurt or Probion® Daily.

They do not become fodder for bad bacteria like the uncleaved, alpha-linked food poly/tri/disaccharides do. Aloeride® has an unrivalled, exemplary polysaccharide profile and this, together with an exemplary amount of working ingredients, makes it ideal for people with digestive disorders and this includes everybody on the Specific Carbohydrate Diet.

What does your ISO 9001:2000 certification mean?

ISO 9001:2000 is the worlds most successful standard in addressing best practice in the application of quality management systems. The standard is based upon the principles of customer satisfaction, continual improvements and the development of a process based management system.

It is underpinned by the eight key management principles: customer focus, leadership, involvement of people, a process approach, systematic approach, factual approach to decision making, mutually beneficial supplier relations and continual improvements. Any system has to be supported by top management, this is one of the cornerstones of ISO.

In today's competitive business environment effective management systems are indispensable. Customers need to be confident that they are doing business with a supplier who can meet their needs.

A certified quality management system promotes, facilitates and enables consistency and improvements in a process or product, it is a system that reduces cycle time and improves operational efficiency.

This instils trust and confidence in our customers and reinforces our commitment to deliver a quality product & excellent service.

How old does one have to be to use Aloeride®?

William Baxter had multiple problems since he was 2 weeks old, among which problematic feeding, projectile vomiting and multiple aversions.

Medication helped a little and feeding via a stoma was tolerated only in tiny helpings.

He was failing to thrive and was not even 1 year old when he started on Aloeride® aloe vera pills. "William has used Aloeride® for 5 months now and from day 1 it was obvious that he became a different child. We are really very happy."

The dosage of Aloeride® used for this baby was half the pill's powder twice a day. It should be noted that taking Aloeride® pills at this age is of course quite unusual but, because of the absence of additives or laxative anthraquinones, Aloeride® was a perfectly safe option that clearly made a difference.
