We're not your average Aloe Vera! We're excited to share our most recent press on Urology Times. Read the whole interview with our CEO Heather Florio, and doctor Stephen J. Walker, PhD, linked below.

"This isn't your health food store aloe vera. This isn't what you can get on Amazon. We've done liver function tests in the past, we've done blood work in multiple studies, including one that's just about ready to publish in Europe in which we did liver function testing, different things like that, because we want to be able to show the efficacy of that. That's because the FDA is going to go to the monograph of aloe vera and if you Google 'aloe vera for internal use,' the first thing you're going to see is 'known carcinogen.' This is because the aloe vera that you find in the health food stores is meant for short-term use as a digestive aid, because the FDA, years ago, did set a limit of anthraquinones—you could have 10 parts per million. That is what makes Desert Harvest so unique; we've developed a patented process. You can extract all the anthraquinones, but then you just really have expensive water at that point, because you have to irradiate it; you have to heat-treat it and you've just killed all of the active nutrients."
