Can I take concentrated aloe vera while I am pregnant or nursing?
Because our aloe vera concentrates haven’t been studied specifically in pregnant women, the FDA doesn’t allow us to recommend them during pregnancy. However, I can tell you that aloe vera concentrates with the anthraquinones removed (like our products) can be taken safely by babies and very young children with no problems. The primary ingredient in the aloe plant is a long-chain sugar called a polysaccharide. There are more than 200 individual ingredients in the aloe plant, most of which are nutritional, but there are ingredients that are unidentifiable. Q: My bottle of Desert Harvest Aloe Vera Capsules has expired. Are they still okay to take? A: Yes, they are perfectly safe to take if they have been kept at room temperature or below without being exposed to excessive heat and humidity for long periods of time. Our shelf-life tests indicate that all of our Desert Harvest food supplements containing our super-concentrated aloe vera are still bioactive five years from the manufacturing
