Benefits:
•Nourishes the digestive and intestinal systems.
•Soothes the internal tissues of the digestive and intestinal tracts.
•Contains vitamins, minerals and other important nutrients.
•May be used topically to moisturize and tone skin.
 
Aloe Vera [Intestinal, Skin] is a nutritional storehouse, naturally containing several vitamins plus 18 amino acids, in addition to many other dietary factors. It soothes the skin and the tissues lining the digestive tract. It contains many biologically active compounds that support the digestion and absorption of food and nourish the intestinal system.
 
Many companies manufacture aloe vera, but most products on the market have lost much of the plant’s original benefits due to over-processing. Beware of aloe vera juice that claims to have no disagreeable taste. Removing this taste can leave you with a product that is only 10–15 percent aloe vera at best.
 
NSP aloe vera is processed in a special way to avoid the loss of essential vitamins, minerals and other constituents. The leaf is filleted; then the green outer portion that contains aloin is removed, leaving the gel that remains in the leaf. The gel remains thick when the leaf is first cut, but after a few minutes, an enzymatic reaction causes it to become liquid and freely run out. It is this 100 percent pure liquid that NSP collects. To prevent bacterial contamination, we add sodium benzoate as a preservative. Sodium benzoate is effective in very small quantities, and it properly and safely preserves aloe vera juice.
 
NSP Whole Leaf Aloe Vera provides a higher level of mucopolysaccharides than regular filleted aloe vera. Only the intense cleansing components have been removed, leaving a high level of mucopolysaccharides (7,000 mg per liter). Used externally, aloe is known for its hydrating and moisturizing properties. Shake well before use and refrigerate after opening.
 
For external use, try Aloe Vera Gel. The gel is created by adding a gelling agent, Irish moss extract, to the juice. Aloe vera gel spreads on quickly and moisturizes, leaving no stickiness.  Apply Aloe Vera Gel to the skin as desired for its moisturizing and toning properties.

For best results, drink 2–6 oz. Aloe Vera Juice daily as is or mixed with water or juice. Or, drink 1 oz. Whole Leaf Aloe Vera Juice mixed with 8 oz. of water or juice 4 times daily.  

Aloe Vera, Freeze Dried provides the same benefits as liquid Aloe Vera Juice but in capsulated form.  Freeze-drying removes water content while maintaining the full botanical value of Aloe Vera. Each capsule contains 150 mg freeze-dried aloe vera and is equivalent to 1 fluid ounce of 100% Aloe Vera juice.  Take 1 or 2 capsules with a meal three times daily.
                                                        

Benefits:
•Immune system support.
•Provides protection to cells.
•May strengthen the body’s defense against common illnesses.
 
Anamú [Immune, Structural]. Folk use suggests that people who wish to target their immune systems may benefit from the immune-enhancing properties of the anamú leaf. Historically, the leaf powder has been used to support the structural system, particularly the joints.
 
Anamú has many active constituents, including tannins, polyphenols, senfols and benzyl-2-hydroxyethyl-trisulfide. Some of these constituents appear to provide protection to cells.
Each capsule of NSP Anamú contains 400 mg of anamú leaf powder, scientifically identified and certified as mucura hembra anamú.

Benefits:
•Stimulates the immune system in a multitude of ways.
•Protects the heart against oxidative and free radical damage.
 
Astragalus [Immune, Circulatory] root has been used to promote immune function and as a tonic to build stamina. Ancient Chinese texts record the use of astragalus for tonifying the spleen, blood and chi.
 
Astragalus contains saponins, sterols, flavonoids, isoflavones and polysaccharides that have health-promoting benefits.
 
Astragalus root may stimulate the immune system in many ways. It promotes the production of stem cells in bone marrow and lymph tissue and encourages their development into active immune cells. It appears to help trigger immune cells from a “resting” state into heightened activity.

One study showed that astragalus root helps promote and maintain respiratory function. It also enhances the body’s production of immunoglobulin and stimulates macrophages. Astragalus can help activate T cells and natural killer cells.
 
Several studies also show that astragalus demonstrates heart benefits, including protection against oxidative cellular damage. The flavonoids, saponins and polysaccharides found in astragalus root help minimize free radical damage on membranes.
 
Each capsule contains 420 mg of astragalus root.

Take 2 capsules with a meal three times daily.
