Aloe Vera
Aloe vera is a succulent plant well-known for producing a thin, clear gel-like substance that provides soothing relief for common skin irritations. But another substance, known as aloe vera latex, can also be obtained from the inner leaf skin. When taken in aloe vera capsule form, aloe vera latex may help promote healthy digestion, cholesterol, blood sugar and overall health. Aloe vera products on Vitacost.com include aloe vera gels, lotions and soaps, which can be applied topically to cuts, scrapes, burns or insect bites for gentle relief. Aloe vera supplements are also available as both a liquid (combined with wolfberry juice) and capsule form.
