Aloe vera is good, but aloe arborescens is better!

We want to explain to you why it is said that Aloe vera is good, but Aloe arborescens is better!

Aloe Arborescens or Aloe Vera?

Let's start from a fixed point; that is, that the Aloe plant is unique in nature, for the quantity of active ingredients it contains. Now one of the most important questions is:

"Which Aloe should I choose, given that there are over 250 varieties?"

The best-known and, above all, those with the greatest health and medicinal properties are Aloe Vera (barbadensis) and Aloe Arborescens, so the choice essentially boils down to these two varieties. You might think they have the same characteristics, but instead they have different concentrations of active ingredients .

Before analyzing the active ingredients, let's immediately look at the differences between Aloe vera plants and Aloe arborescens plants and how to recognize them . The simplest method is certainly the inflorescence: Aloe vera has yellow flowers , while Aloe arborescens has red flowers .

But since the flower is present only once a year for a short period, let's focus on the characteristics and shape of the plant.

Aloe vera grows and develops in a bushy shape, without a central stem. It has fleshy, succulent, mottled green leaves with delicate edges that sometimes turn pink during colder periods. The plant reaches maturity after four years and can have leaves 60 to 90 cm long and 8 cm wide. Each leaf can weigh 1 to 2 kg.

Aloe arborescens, on the other hand, grows from a central woody trunk with alternate leaf growth. The plant appears as a chaotic bush, full of stems, without a discernible root, unlike Aloe vera. The leaves are threadlike, 50 to 60 cm long, and weigh 10 to 100 grams each.

So, in conclusion, we can say that it's very easy to notice the differences between Aloe Vera and Aloe Arborescens, both in terms of plant shape and leaf size. Let's now analyze which variety has the most active ingredients and, therefore, which is preferable.

Aloe Arborescens undoubtedly has a significantly higher concentration of active ingredients than Aloe Vera and therefore a greater therapeutic activity.

This characteristic has been demonstrated by numerous studies. As an example, below is a table taken from the Raphael Foundation report comparing the seven amino acid content of the two plants:

This table covers only 7 of the hundreds of active compounds present, all of which are found in significantly higher quantities in Aloe Arborescens.

“Furthermore, analyses carried out by our company have shown that the differences in amino acids are even more evident in favor of Aloe Arborescens, but these parameters vary greatly depending on where the plants examined are grown.”

You've probably noticed that almost all commercial products contain Aloe Vera, not Aloe Arborescens. Faced with this evidence, a question naturally arises:

Since it is much more effective, why doesn't everyone use Aloe Arborescens?

The answer is very simple: The lower production yield makes its cost significantly higher. Let's return for a moment to the morphology we mentioned earlier. The high yield of the leaves and the easy processing of the pulp into a drinkable gel have made Aloe Vera the most widely used and well-known plant in the world. On the other hand, Aloe Arborescens, due to its enormous difficulty in processing, which can only be done manually, has been relegated to the background, despite being far superior in terms of active ingredients.

Having focused on excellence, we have decided to use only ORGANIC ALOE ARBORESCENS from Italian crops.

Various research studies and recent international literature have highlighted that Aloe Arborescens is much more effective than Aloe Vera when aiming for the product's therapeutic action.

We only work with Aloe Arborescens, as we want to offer our customers the maximum benefits that this extraordinary plant offers.
