Aloe Vera Softgels from Swanson
Everyone knows aloe vera for its use on the skin, but the plant has a much longer history than just the sunscreen corner. This aloe vera from Swanson comes in a softgel that is easy to swallow. No gel you have to measure out yourself, no sticky hands, no bitter taste. Each softgel provides 25 mg of a highly concentrated extract. The plant grows naturally in warm, dry regions and has been used for thousands of years. Convenient for those who prefer to take aloe vera in a solid, measured form rather than as a drink or gel from a bottle.
What a 200:1 concentrate means
The 25 mg in each softgel is not just any 25 mg. It is a 200:1 concentrate. This means that 200 parts of the fresh plant have been reduced to 1 part powder. During this process, the water mainly evaporates from the leaf, which makes up the largest part of the fresh plant, while the solids remain. In practice, the amount of aloe vera per softgel therefore corresponds to approximately 5 grams of fresh leaf gel. Small in size, so, but highly concentrated. This way, you do not need to take spoonfuls of gel to get a noticeable amount.
From the inside of the leaf
An aloe leaf consists of two clearly different parts. Just under the skin is a yellow layer, the latex. Inside that is the clear, watery gel of the inner leaf, the part that made the plant so well known. This product uses that inner gel, not the latex. The difference therefore lies in which part of the leaf you take, and that makes quite a difference to the composition. Aloe vera from the inner leaf is the variant you most often encounter in supplements and personal care products, and it is exactly that part that has been processed here in concentrated form.
Aloe vera
Aloe vera contributes to the natural defense and maintenance of a normal immune system*. In addition, aloe vera helps maintain healthy skin*. Good to know: the softgel is made of gelatin, an animal protein, and contains soy due to the soy oil used. This product is therefore not plant-based and is not suitable for those with a soy allergy.
In short, this is a compact way to take aloe vera: a 200:1 concentrate from the inner leaf, in a softgel that you take twice a day with water. One hundred softgels per bottle, good for about fifty days, without having to measure or mix anything.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this aloe vera vegan?
No. The softgel is made from gelatine, an animal protein, and also contains beeswax. Therefore, the product is not suitable for vegans.
How many softgels should you take per day?
Two per day, with water. One jar contains one hundred softgels, enough for approximately fifty days.
Does this product contain soy?
Yes. The softgel contains soybean oil, so it contains soy. If you have a soy allergy, do not use this product and always read the label first.
Why is there only 25 mg of aloe vera in it?
Because it is a 200:1 concentrate. That 25 mg of powder comes from a much larger amount of fresh plant and is equivalent to about 5 grams of fresh leaf gel.
What is the difference between aloe gel and aloe latex?
The latex is the yellow layer just under the skin of the leaf. The gel is the clear inner part. This product uses the inner leaf gel, not the latex.
