The bottle contains 100 softgels, or 50 servings of two softgels; at the maximum daily dose, one pack lasts for 25 days.

What is aloe vera?

Aloe vera is a succulent plant growing in warm, dry climates, whose thick, fleshy leaves contain a clear gel-like substance. This gel is used in foods and drinks and is also known from many cosmetic products. This product uses specifically the inner part of the leaf, the gel, from which a 200-fold concentrate is made. The concentrate is mixed with extra virgin olive oil and packed into softgels, making it easy to dose the amount of aloe vera accurately. According to NOW Foods, natural particles of aloe vera may be visible in the softgel contents, and because it is a natural raw material, the colour may vary slightly from batch to batch, which does not affect product quality.

How to use?

Take 2 softgels 1 to 2 times a day on an empty stomach and swallow them with a glass of water or another drink. The maximum daily amount is 4 softgels, providing 200 mg of aloe vera concentrate. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose. If you also take other food supplements containing aloe vera, take their amounts into account. After opening, close the bottle tightly and store it in a cool, dry place out of the reach of young children.
