Aloe Vera: Good for You--Inside and Out!

Aloe vera has been revered since the days of ancient Egypt for its remarkable anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and anti-viral properties, as well as for how it helps to reduce inflammation and regenerate cells.

Beeyoutiful's Aloe Vera softgels are freeze-dried, concentrated, and then reconstituted to preserve just the right strength for daily use. Brimming with vitamins, amino acids, and sugars essential to good health, aloe activates your white blood cells to fight viral and bacterial infections and has even been said to combat the invasion of cancer cells.

The primary internal benefit is the way aloe soothes and helps reduce irritation in digestive tracts -- from irritable bowel syndrome to colitis to constipation -- making food and other supplements more bio-available to your body. Aloe also has been shown to reduce blood sugar levels in diabetics by as much as 48%.

The external advantages? Simply break open one of these convenient aloe vera gel caps and spread it on minor burns and sunburns. Apply to Athlete's foot, acne, warts, and cracked, dry skin. Apply to poison ivy, blisters and any other skin or scalp irritation to help reduce the risk of infection and scarring. Aloe Vera Softgels are effective because they stimulate the production of collagen, the substance essential for restoring skin cells. That means aloe even helps smooth out wrinkles!

Vitex with Dong Quai

Vitex is known for its ability to nourish and support the female endocrine system as it regulates estrogen and progesterone levels.

PMS and menstrual problems are all eased by this wonderful herb. Because Vitex helps regulate cycles, you can more accurately calculate the start of your next period. Enhanced with Dong Quai, a Chinese herb known for relieving menopausal symptoms, Beeyoutiful's Vitex addresses these mid-life problems.

Vitex is a vital aid to help re-balance your hormones so you can feel "normal" again. Be sure to give your body a minimum of three cycles and up to a year to soak in and respond to the hormone stabilizing work of Vitex. Because it is safe for long-term use, many women take Vitex for several years in a row if necessary. Caution: Not for women who are pregnant or nursing.

WARNING: Do NOT take this product while pregnant or nursing.
Although Vitex by itself is generally recognized as being safe and even helpful for pregnancy and nursing, Beeyoutiful's Vitex also contains Dong Quai Root. Dong Quai is great for balancing hormones, but not as much is known about this herb's safety during pregnancy and nursing. Therefore, we strongly advise NOT taking this product if you are pregnant or nursing. This product primarily addresses hormone issues for menopausal women.
