Aloe Vera contains over 200 biologically-active components like polysaccharides, vitamins, enzymes, and minerals; we call these "solids." The plant itself is 95% water, and the other 5% comprises these "solids."
The polysaccharides in aloe vera are the components that have demonstrated the most significant beneficial effects on our bodies. In other words, polysaccharides rule.

So let's talk about polysaccharides. They are of different lengths and are categorized as small chain, medium chain, large chain, and very large chain. Let's use an analogy to help this make more sense. Think of them as "necklaces"; we have small, medium, long, and very long necklaces. Each of these "necklaces" can be "worn" to impact different problems or diseases. Diabetes is a disease that benefits from the small chain "necklace." Various issues and illnesses wear medium-length "necklaces" because medium necklaces have antioxidant properties which fight against the formation of severe conditions. Large necklaces are worn for issues like infection, inflammation, and depressed immunity by providing anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and immune-boosting properties.

Danhof Aloe Elixir: Dr. Danhof recommended taking 1 ounce of Danhof Aloe Elixir 15 minutes before meal time. This will ensure a proper protective coating of the esophagus, stomach, and intestines, as well as initiate the absorption of the aloe into the body.

Danhof Aloe Veggie Caps: Dr. Danhof recommended taking two Danhof Aloe capsules per day, typically in the morning. However, taking three to four capsules daily is perfectly fine.

Danhof Aloe Gel: Dr. Danhof recommended using the gel as needed to provide relief for sunburns, insect bites, scars, age spots, or other irritations. Dr. Danhof used to show people the top of his hands as a conversation starter.

For many years, Dr. Danhof had been applying Aloe gel to one hand, but not the other – to illustrate the anti-aging effects of Aloe on the skin. And the difference was quite striking with the Aloe hand looking much more youthful!

Once opened, we recommend keeping the Danhof Aloe Elixir refrigerated in order to extend its shelf life of quality, freshness, and taste. The other products do not need to be refrigerated.
