                                SUPPLY AGREEMENT


     THIS  SUPPLY AGREEMENT (this Agreement) effective as of December 1,
   1997,  is by and between CARALOE, INC., a Texas corporation (Seller),
   and MET-TRIM, a Texas LLC (Buyer),

                                WITNESSETH:

     WHEREAS,  Seller  desires  to  sell  to Buyer, and Buyer desires to
   purchase  from  Seller,  bulk  aloe  vera mucilaginous polysaccharide
   (hereinafter  referred  to under the product name of MANAPOL  powder)
   in  the  quantities,  at the price, and upon the terms and conditions
   hereinafter set forth; and

     NOW,  THEREFORE,  in  consideration  of the premises and the mutual
   covenants  and  agreements contained herein, the parties hereto agree
   as follows:

     1.   Term.    The term of this Agreement shall commence on December
   1,  1997,  and  shall  end  at  midnight on December 31, 2000, unless
   further  extended or sooner terminated as provided herein (such term,
   as  extended, herein called the Term).  The Term (including each one-
   year  extension  of  the Term) shall be extended automatically for an
   additional  one-year period, provided that, at least thirty (30) days
   prior  to  the  end  of  the Term, Seller and Buyer mutually agree in
   writing  on  the  quantity and price of MANAPOL  to be sold by Seller
   and  purchased  by  Buyer  hereunder  during such additional one-year
   period.    At  least  sixty  (60)  days prior to the end of the Term,
   Seller  and Buyer shall commence good faith negotiations to determine
   and  agree  upon such quantity and price for such additional one-year
   period.    If the parties are unable to so agree on such quantity and
   price,  this  Agreement  shall  terminate effective at the end of the
   current  Term.  Nothing contained in this Paragraph 1 shall be deemed
   to  (i)  obligate  the parties to agree upon such quantity and price,
   (ii)  obligate  a  party  to negotiate with the other party regarding
   such  quantity  and price if such other party is then in breach of or
   in  default  under  this  Agreement  or (iii) limit the rights to the
   parties under Paragraph 8 hereof.

     2.   Territory.   Buyer is permitted to market agreed upon products
   containing  Manapol  in the United States, Mexico, Canada, Australia,
   New  Zealand and any other mutually agreed upon territories.  The use
   of  the  Manapol    trademark  is,  however,  covered by the separate
   Trademark licensing agreement entered into by the parties hereto.

     3.   Sale and Purchase License.

          (a)  Subject  to  the  terms and conditions of this Agreement,
   beginning  in  December  1997  Seller  shall sell to Buyer, and Buyer
   shall  purchase  from  Seller,  not less than 60 kilograms of Manapol
   powder or other mutually agreed upon product per quarter.
<PAGE>
          (b)  Buyer  agrees  that  all  MANAPOL  powder purchased by it
   hereunder  shall  be  used only (i) as an additive in human or animal
   health  food  products (in capsule form) manufactured by or for Buyer
   that  are  intended  for  sale to the ultimate consumer in the United
   States or other  mutually agreed upon countries or territories.  Such
   food products are herein called Buyer Products.

     4.   Quality.    Seller  warrants to Buyer that all MANAPOL  powder
   sold by Seller pursuant to this Agreement will conform to the quality
   specifications  set  forth in Exhibit A to this Agreement.  EXCEPT AS
   PROVIDED  IN  THIS   PARAGRAPH  4,  THERE   ARE   NO   WARRANTIES  OR
   REPRESENTATIONS  OF  ANY  KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT
   LIMITED  TO  WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS AND FITNESS FOR A
   PARTICULAR  PURPOSE,  MADE  WITH RESPECT TO THE MANAPOL  POWDER TO BE
   SOLD HEREUNDER, AND NONE SHALL BE IMPLIED BY LAW.

     5.   Deliveries.    Buyer  shall  instruct Seller from time to time
   during  the  Term, by placing a purchase order with Seller reasonably
   in  advance of the date Buyer desires MANAPOL  powder to be delivered
   to  it  hereunder,  (i) as to the quantities of MANAPOL  powder to be
   delivered  to  Buyer, (ii) as to the specific date of delivery, (iii)
   as to the specific location of delivery and (iv) as to the carrier or
   particular type of carrier for such delivery.  During the Term, Buyer
   shall  provide  Seller (a) on a yearly basis a nonbinding forecast of
   Buyer's  minimum  and  maximum  aggregate  delivery  requirements for
   MANAPOL    powder  for  such  period,  and (b) on a quarterly basis a
   forecast  acceptable  to  Seller (which shall be binding on Buyer) of
   Buyer's minimum and maximum delivery requirements for MANAPOL  powder
   for each month of the next three (3) month period.  The quantities of
   MANAPOL  powder ordered by Buyer pursuant to this Agreement from time
   to time shall be spaced in a reasonable manner, and Buyer shall order
   such  quantities in accordance with Buyer's binding forecasts.  In no
   event shall Seller be required to deliver to Buyer in any three-month
   period a quantity of MANAPOL  powder in excess of 150% of the maximum
   delivery  requirement  for  such  period  set  forth  in  the binding
   forecast  for  such period accepted by Seller.  Deliveries of MANAPOL
   powder  shall  be made by Seller under normal trade conditions in the
   usual  and  customary manner being utilized by Seller at the time and
   location  of  the particular delivery.  The MANAPOL  powder delivered
   to  Buyer  hereunder  shall  be packaged in suitable containers to be
   determined by the Seller.  All deliveries of MANAPOL  powder to Buyer
   hereunder  shall be made by Seller F.O.B. at the facilities of Seller
   or its affiliates.

     6.   Price.    All   MANAPOL  powder to be purchased by Buyer under
   this Agreement shall be purchased by it, during the first year of the
   Term,  at  a  price as outlined in Attachment B, and during each year
   (if  any)  of  the Term, at the price per kilogram agreed upon by the
   parties  for  such  additional  year  pursuant  to  the provisions of
   Paragraph  1  hereof.    Buyer  shall bear all freight, insurance and
   similar  costs,  and all sales taxes, with respect to such purchases.
   The  purchase  price  of  MANAPOL   powder, together with all related
   freight,  insurance and similar costs, and sales taxes, shall be paid
   by Buyer to Seller within thirty (30) days after the date of invoice.

     7.   Confidentiality.    In the performance of Seller's obligations
   pursuant  to  this  Agreement,  Buyer  may acquire from Seller or its
   affiliates  technical,  commercial,  operating  or  other proprietary
   information  relative  to the business or operations of Seller or its
   affiliates  (the Confidential Information).  Buyer shall maintain the
   confidentiality,  and take all necessary precautions to safeguard the
   secrecy,  of any and all Confidential Information it may acquire from
   Seller  or  its  affiliates.    Buyer  shall  not  use  any  of  such
   Confidential  Information  for  its own benefit or for the benefit of
   anyone else.  Buyer shall not publicly disclose the existence of this
   Agreement  or  the  terms hereof without the prior written consent of
   Seller.

     8.   Force  Majeure.  Seller shall not have any liability hereunder
   if  it  shall  be  prevented  from  performing any of its obligations
   hereunder  by  reason  of  any  factor beyond its control, including,
   without  limitation, fire, explosion, accident, riot, flood, drought,
   storm,  earthquake,  lightning,  frost,  civil  commotion,  sabotage,
   vandalism,  smoke,  hail,  embargo,  act  of God or the public enemy,
   other  casualty,  strike  or lockout, or interference, prohibition or
   restriction imposed by any government or any officer or agent thereof
   (Force   Majeure),  and  Seller's  obligations,  so  far  as  may  be
   necessary, shall be suspended during the period of such Force Majeure
   and  shall  be  cancelled  in  respect  of such quantities of MANAPOL
   powder  as  would  have  been sold hereunder but for such suspension.
   Seller  shall  give to Buyer prompt notice of any such Force Majeure,
   the  date of commencement thereof and its probable duration and shall
   give  a  further  notice in like manner upon the termination thereof.
   Each  party  hereto  shall  endeavor  with  due  diligence  to resume
   compliance  with  its  obligations hereunder at the earliest date and
   shall  do  all  that  it  reasonably  can to overcome or mitigate the
   effects  of  any  such  Force Majeure upon its obligations under this
   Agreement.

     9.   Rights Upon Default.

     (a)  Seller's  Rights Upon Default.  If Buyer (i) fails to purchase
   the  quantities  of  MANAPOL   powder specified for purchase by Buyer
   hereunder,  (ii)  fails to make a payment hereunder when due or (iii)
   otherwise  breaches  any  term of this Agreement, and such failure or
   breach  is  not cured to Seller's reasonable satisfaction within five
   (5)  days (in the case of a failure to make a payment) or thirty (30)
   days (in any other case) after receipt of notice thereof by Buyer, or
   if Buyer fails to perform or observe any covenant or condition on its
   part  to  be performed when required to be performed or observed, and
   such  failure  continues  after  the applicable grace period, if any,
   specified  in  the  Agreement,  Seller  may  refuse  to  make further
   deliveries  hereunder and may terminate this Agreement upon notice to
   Buyer  and,  in  addition, shall have such other rights and remedies,
   including  the  right  to recover damages, as are available to Seller
   under  applicable  law  or  otherwise.   If Buyer becomes bankrupt or
   insolvent,  or if a petition in bankruptcy is filed by or against it,
   or  if  a  receiver is appointed for it or its properties, Seller may
   refuse  to  make  further deliveries hereunder and may terminate this
   Agreement  upon  notice  to Buyer, without prejudice to any rights of
   Seller  existing hereunder or under applicable law or otherwise.  Any
   subsequent  shipment  of MANAPOL  powder by Seller after a failure by
   Buyer  to  make  any payment hereunder, or after any other default by
   Buyer  hereunder,  shall  not  constitute  a  waiver of any rights of
   Seller  arising out of such prior default; nor shall Seller's failure
   to  insist upon strict performance of any provision of this Agreement
   be  deemed  a  waiver  by  Seller  of  any  of its rights or remedies
   hereunder  or  under  applicable  law  or  a  waiver by Seller of any
   subsequent  default by Buyer in the performance of or compliance with
   any of the terms of this Agreement.

     (b)  Buyer's  Rights Upon Default.  If Seller fails in any material
   respect to perform its obligations hereunder, and such failure is not
   cured to Buyer's reasonable satisfaction within 30 days after receipt
   of  notice thereof by Seller, Buyer shall have the right to refuse to
   accept  further  deliveries hereunder and to terminate this Agreement
   upon  notice to Seller and, in addition, shall have such other rights
   and  remedies,  including  the  right  to  recover  damages,  as  are
   available to Buyer under applicable law or otherwise.  Any subsequent
   acceptance  of delivery of MANAPOL  powder by Buyer after any default
   by  Seller  under this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of any
   rights  of Buyer arising out of such prior default; nor shall Buyer's
   failure  to  insist  upon strict performance of any provision of this
   Agreement  be  deemed  a  waiver  by  Buyer  of  any of its rights or
   remedies  hereunder  or  under applicable law or a waiver by Buyer of
   any  subsequent default by Seller in the performance of or compliance
   with any of the terms of this Agreement.
<PAGE>
     10.  Disclaimer  and  Indemnity.   Buyer shall assume all financial
   and  other obligations for Buyer Products, and Seller shall not incur
   any  liability or responsibility to Buyer or to third parties arising
   out  of  or connected in any manner with Buyer Products.  In no event
   shall   Seller   be   liable   for  lost  profits,  special  damages,
   consequential  damages  or  contingent  liabilities arising out of or
   connected in any manner with this Agreement or Buyer Products.  Buyer
   shall  defend, indemnify and hold harmless Seller and its affiliates,
   and  their respective officers, directors, employees and agents, from
   and  against  all claims, liabilities, demands, damages, expenses and
   losses  (including  reasonable  attorneys' fees and expenses) arising
   out  of  or  connected  with  (i) any manufacture, use, sale or other
   disposition  of  Buyer  Products,  or any other products of Buyer, by
   Buyer  or  any other party and (ii) any breach by Buyer of any of its
   obligations under this Agreement.

     11.  Equitable  Relief.    A  breach  by Buyer of the provisions of
   Paragraph  3(b) shall cause Seller to suffer irreparable harm and, in
   such  event,  Seller  shall  be  entitled, as a matter of right, to a
   restraining  order  and  other  injunctive  relief  from any court of
   competent  jurisdiction, restraining any further violation thereof by
   Buyer, its officers, agents, servants, employees and those persons in
   active   concert  or  participation  with  them.    The  right  to  a
   restraining order or other injunctive relief shall be supplemental to
   any  other  right  or  remedy  Seller  may  have,  including, without
   limitation, the recovery of damages for the breach of such provisions
   or of any other provisions of this Agreement.

     12.  Survival.  The expiration or termination of the Term shall not
   impair  the  rights or obligations of either party hereto which shall
   have  accrued hereunder prior to such expiration or termination.  The
   provisions of Paragraphs 3(b), 7, 9, 10 and 11 hereof, and the rights
   and   obligations  of  the  parties  thereunder,  shall  survive  the
   expiration or termination of the Term.

     13.  Governing  Law.    This  Agreement  shall  be governed by, and
   construed  and  enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of
   Texas.

     14.  Succession.    Neither  party  hereto  may assign or otherwise
   transfer this Agreement or any of its rights or obligations hereunder
   (including,  without  limitation, by merger or consolidation) without
   the prior written consent of the other party; provided, however, that
   Seller  may  assign any of its rights or obligations hereunder to any
   affiliate  of Seller.  Subject to the immediately preceding sentence,
   this  Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the
   parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.

   agreement  between the parties hereto relating to the matters covered
   hereby     The  terms  of  this  Agreement  shall  prevail  over  any
   inconsistent  terms  contained  in any purchase order issued by Buyer
   and  acknowledgment  or  acceptance  thereof  issued  by  Seller.  No
   modification,  waiver  or  discharge  of this Agreement or any of its
   terms  shall  be  binding  unless  in writing and signed by the party
   against  which  the modification, waiver or discharge is sought to be
   enforced.  This Agreement is separate from and unrelated to any other
   agreement  between  the  parties hereto and has been entered into for
