Process Aloe's valuable nutrients are found in the plant's solid constituents. To secure the active ingredients, AIM uses a cold processing method. This stabilzes the ingredients without damaging them. Then, only the necessary ingredients are added to protect the stabilized ingredients from spoiling. The citric acid, sodium benzoate, and potassium sorbate used to do this are safe and natural products.
Citric acid is a natural preservative found in citrus fruits, and inhibits the growth of bacteria.
Sodium benzoate also helps fight bacteria. Potassium sorbate inhibits mold formation and actually occurs naturally in the aloe plant, although some must be added. Specifically, these ingredients include the minerals calcium, copper, iron, potassium, magnesium, phosphorus, and zinc, and all essential amino acids except tryptophan. Both individually and synergistically, having more of these ingredients addds up to a better product and better health. Benefits Many health-related benefits have been attributed to the aloe vera plant.
