KIKI's Organic Aloe Ferox Juice is a pure, unfiltered natural juice. It is native to Africa and grows wild in its natural habitat. Aloe Ferox is known for its natural colon cleansing benefits. Aloe Ferox juice is neither concentrated nor diluted, so all vital plant nutrients are retained in their natural form. Why is it not necessary to filter Aloe Ferox like the Aloe Vera plant Unlike Aloe Vera, Aloe Ferox does not need to be filtered, as it has a higher concentration of nutrients; as nothing is lost during the filtration process. The leaves of the Aloe Vera plant are soft, so the 'aloin' penetrates the white pulp. That is why manufacturers often filter or chemically neutralize the product to erase the 'aloin' content. Aloin can cause unwanted side effects, such as electrolyte imbalance, diarrhea, and abdominal pain. The leaves of the Aloe Ferox plant are physically a much stronger plant so the aloin cannot get in, so it does not need to be filtered. The freshly cut Aloe ferox leaf produces approximately 20 times more bitter sap than Aloe vera.
