Aloe vera is one of the oldest plants mentioned in ancient records due to its robust properties and health benefits. It is known that ancient Chinese and Egyptians used Aloe vera to address a plethora of health concerns. Premier Aloe features premier quality inner leaf Aloe vera that has been meticulously grown and harvested from the pristine countryside in Central America. The polysaccharide, acemannan, is predominately found in the inner leaf gel of Aloe vera and has been identified as one of the most biologically active and beneficial components in Aloe vera. Extensive research has now characterized its chemical structure to be rich in monosaccharides, mannose, glucose, and galactose, which count among the eight essential monosaccharides that play a critical role in many aspects of human nutrition and health. Scientific research has demonstrated that the essential role of mannose in human health is specific to the body’s advanced mechanisms to extract mannose from the diet through its symbiotic relationship with probiotic microorganisms. Once digested, mannose is effectively metabolized in the liver, then secreted into the bloodstream and circulated throughout the body. Science has reported that mannose’s biological activity is able to target cell-to-cell communication to promote healthy biological responses during times of stress. The body’s innate responses are regulated in part by glycoproteins (which have a carbohydrate attached by a covalent bond) or glycolipids (which contain oligosaccharides) chains that are present on the surface of the cells. These molecules promote cell-to-cell site activity which is critical to initiating favorable biological responses.
