How other brands compare

Although the marked-up prices of other brands may suggest otherwise, many Aloe Vera capsules on the market today do not have enough Aloe Vera content to be effective. 

Each Pharm Aloe Aloe Vera Capsule contains 450 mg's Active ingredients (200-1 Concentrate), equivalent to approximately 30,000 mgs (1-fluid oz.) of Whole Leaf Aloe Vera Juice or 90,000 mg's (3-fluid oz.) of NON-Whole Leaf Aloe Vera Juice/Gel.

The average person should have 450 mg of Aloe Vera per day* to aid in vitamin absorption and and maintain good health.

Use the chart below to see how Pharm-Aloe compares to other major brands in terms of price, content and suggested dosage.

* Based on the amount of Aloe Vera necessary to be effective and the manufacturer's suggested dosage for one month of use.

What is the difference between WHOLE LEAF and NON-Whole Leaf Aloe Vera Capsules?

In a product that is mostly water, you want the most active ingredients possible.  The greatest concentration of Aloe Vera's active ingredients is where the rind interfaces with the inner gel of the leaf.  When only the inside of the leaf is used the result is a lower potency.
