Whole-leaf Aloe Juice and probiotics
Probiotics or not? The hottest miracle-buzz word is “probiotics”. Probiotics have gained their fame as “good” gut bacteria that heal by fighting “bad” bacteria and enhancing bioavailability of nutrients. Many research reports reveal great therapeutic effects achieved with probiotics. Research also issue warnings that probiotics may
lead to serious health problems in certain individuals, e.g. probiotics may cancel the effects of antibiotics or lead to antibiotic resistance.
Also, patients with a compromised immune system, frail individuals and very young children are strongly advised against taking probiotics.
Should you take probiotics? Before taking ANY supplements: consider your own health and your medication. Read the pamphlets that came with the medicine: be well informed about counter-indications, side effects and interactions with other medicines.
If you don’t understand a pamphlet, ask your doctor to explain the details and tell him/her about the supplement(s) you intend to take. When risks are eliminated: GO FOR IT!
Do Aloe Ferox products contain probiotics? No. A business always has to balance potential products against current business strategies, such as maintaining products that work well; adapting or eliminating non-movers; and adding new innovations, which are in line with company direction. While adding probiotics to Whole-leaf Aloe
Juice may sound exciting, local and export sales figures say that Whole-leaf Aloe Juice works very well in its current form. Consumer feedback echoes this: individuals who take a small amount daily, experience marvellous improvements in their general health and those who use larger quantities for a short period (e.g. to fight off oncoming sniffles), manage to safeguard themselves.
Adding probiotics, would not only exclude the fragile, young and immune compromised individuals from using our juice, it also goes against business sense to change a mainstay.
