"Health Food" Store Aloe Drinks and Products

Unfortunately a majority of "Health Food" stores sell aloe products that are incredibly inferior in quality in order to keep profits up.

Running these stores requires a huge amount of overhead, requiring products to be purchased cheaply and marked up considerably (usually 300% to 1,000% and more). Stores in malls have even larger overhead and require an even greater profit margin.

We are constantly asked about two very popular aloe drinks sold in major health food store chains. These drinks are very poor quality, and have never been received the IASC "Seal of Approval". Yet they sell like hotcakes because they are so cheap (compared to good, quality drinks) and people don't know the difference.

How do you get cheap aloe drinks and sell them for a significant profit? Simple. Order F.D.A. approved "aloe" which contain one gallon of water, and about 3 tablespoons of Aloe so you can legally label it "100% Aloe Vera Juice" and sell that to an uninformed, unsuspecting public. (It is very likely that even the employees don't even know this.)

That's right. According to the FDA, you can put 3 tablespoons of Aloe in a gallon of water and label that gallon as " 100% Aloe Vera Juice". Amazing, isn't it?

If the Aloe you are drinking is clear, very thin (or even just watery), and you can read printed materials through the bottle (if the bottle is clear), then you should consider changing brands. What you have now won't hurt you, but it most likely isn't doing anything to help you, either.

Much the same applies to most of the Aloe-based skin care products you find in many health food stores too - very inferior.Finally, you don't know the manufacturer of these products. For all you know, they buy Aloe in bulk barrels and they can sit there for up to a year, or more, before processing. In many cases, this is - sadly - fact. The simple fact is, if you bought it in your local grocery store or health food store it probably isn't of high enough quality to justify the few dollars spent on it. You're most likely wasting your time, efforts, hopes, and money.
