Forever Living Products have specially formulated a number of products with athletes and people interested in sports and fitness in mind. They are designed to work in harmony with the body’s natural functions, enhancing efficiency and performance levels. From your warm up, to your cool down, there’s something for everyone!

L’Arginine & fruit extracted antioxidants work to increase oxygen levels

ARGI+

A great, fruit-flavoured nutritional drink, developed with a Nobel Prize winner. It harnesses L’arginine to produce nitric oxide which helps in the relaxation of blood vessels, aiding blood transfer around the body. Promotes muscle/tissue growth & repair, reduced recovery times and helps to maintain healthy blood pressure levels and cardiovascular health. Learn more about ARGI+ >>

Forever Freedom

Anti-inflammatory & soothing Forever Freedom

This stabilised aloe vera drinking gel provides nutritional support for sports and exercise and contains Vitamin C for growth and repair. The added extra ingredients are naturally sourced chondroitin and glucosamine which works in the longer term by helping to slow the onset of joint degeneration (although will not halt it altogether). Perhaps a very valuable property given the extra wear and tear athletes place on their joints and body compared to the rest of us. Learn more about Forever Freedom & aloe vera drinking gels >>

According to legend, Incan warriors used Maca for strength & endurance before going into battle

Multi Maca

Ideal for people on the go, this tablet-based dietary supplement contains Peruvian Maca (Lepidium Meyenii) an edible root, which has been shown to have positive effects on energy and mood, helps maintain stamina, combat fatigue and may decrease anxiety – and improve sexual desire. I appreciate, not strictly sport-related, although you could argue that it can increase fitness levels! 😉

MSM helps repair the body

MSM Gel

Clear, fragrance-free, topical gel containing stabilised aloe vera as its base, which in itself is soothing and has anti-inflammatory properties, is combined with MSM (Methyl Sulfonyl Methane) which helps to keep joints and muscles in tip-top condition. It’s an organic sulphur found in almost all living things – in fact, its the third most abundant substance in our bodies. It helps soothe injuries and muscle tension which often comes cap-in-hand with sporting activities.

CoQ10 helps promote efficient metabolism & provides nutritional support for cardiovascular health

CardioHealth with CoQ10

Designed to be mixed with our drinking gels, this special formula contains CoQ10 and herbal extracts including turmeric and olive leaf, providing important nutritional support for cardiovascular health, antioxidants & efficient metabolism. CoQ10 is an enzyme produced by our bodies and is necessary for the proper function of cells including those of the heart and blood vessels.

A natural blend of aloe vera & herbs for deep tissue soothing

Heat Lotion

A deep penetrating, warming topical lotion, perfect for tired and aching muscles after workout. With an aloe vera base, it’s combined with naturally sourced herbs including eucalyptus, arginine, apricot oil & menthol for deep muscle benefit.  Some products available on the High Street often come with a warning not to apply to the spinal area. One has to question why….?  Ours is perfectly safe to be applied everywhere, should you be so inclined!

A great blend of nutrients in a tasty milkshake

Lite Ultra with Aminotein

A tasty, low-carb vanilla or chocolate milkshake drink containing 18 amino acids and a wide range of minerals and nutrients. It’s a great way to supplement your diet, ensuring your body gets the correct nutrition it needs. Aminotein is a unique blend of enzymes that work together to help break down protein in your diet, helping you to maintain weight.

Fast Break Energy Bar

Fast Break Energy Bar

Great tasting, peanutty, low calorie snack bar (220 calories), containing significant amounts of your vitamin and mineral RDA’s (Recommended Daily Allowance) to ensure maximum energy and peak performance. Great as either a snack or a meal replacement.

Long-lasting energy

FAB Energy Drink

Different to other energy drinks, it provides an immediate and long-term (rather than short-lived) boost of energy thanks to naturally sourced Brazilian Guarana and ADX7 – a blend of adaptogenic herbs (for the botanists among us: Eleutherococcus Senticosus Root and Leaf, Aralia Mandshurica, Rhaponticum Carthamoides, Rhodiola Rosea & Schisandra) developed by a leading Russian Sports Scientist.

Lethargy Syndrome / Persistent Leucopaenia in Horses

Equine patients respond well to Aloe Vera when suffering from conditions such as mud fever, arthritis, ulcers & more

The medicinal benefits of Aloe Vera has been well known for thousands of years; the Egyptians and Ancient Greeks were using it long before us in more modern times started to consider it as an alternative to prescribed medication. Interestingly, an aloe vera plant also features on the coat of arms, on the shield carried by the centaur on the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons.

As we become more resistant to modern medicines, we’re finding that more and more healthcare professionals in the human and animal world are looking to more traditional ways of treating diseases and conditions. Animals are susceptible to exactly the same problems as us; they can suffer from dermatitis, mud fever, stomach ulcers, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), arthritis and more, but, like us, do respond extremely well to the healing properties of aloe vera.

This article from The Veterinary Times, Aloe Vera Extracts in Equine Clinical Practice outlines how top quality aloe vera, taken orally or topically, can help with numerous conditions. This article particularly focuses on equine clinical practice, but clearly, the relevance for other species of animal is extremely high.

The gel used in the study is Forever Living Product’s Aloe Vera Drinking Gel and should not be confused with cheaper “contains 100% aloe vera” juices that you can purchase easily on the high street; these are often blended with a high volume of water and actually only need to contain 15% aloe vera to be called a juice. Think about it: you put 100% pure milk into your tea or coffee, but your drink is far from 100% milk…..

If you think your horse (or other pet) could benefit from a more natural (and potentially, less costly) approach to maintaining better health and would like further information, please contact Michelle on 07554 080815 or email: info@aloe-world.co.uk

Every product comes with a 60-day money back guarantee, so if you aren’t satisfied with the results, you can have all of your money back. What have you got to lose?

How Can I Relieve the Pain of Arthritis?

Relief from the pain of arthritis in a bottle

In support of National Arthritis Care’s Week (Mon 13 – Sun 19 May 2013), we felt it was about time to focus on perhaps one of our most innovative products which has provide millions of people worldwide with relief from the pain and physical restrictions associated with arthritis.

Firstly, a bit of background ……

Our skeleton is held together by a network of bones, muscles, tendons and ligaments which all work together in harmony to ensure that when we move, we move flexibly and without pain (although perhaps not always first thing in the morning!). Between most (if not all) joints is a shock-absorbing substance called cartilage and as we age and use our joints, this begins to wear out.

Much like two stones grinding together, over time, they will begin to wear down and its this wear and grinding which causes inflammation, and, often, debilitating pain and is known as arthritis.  Although there are many different types of arthritis, osteoarthritis (or degenerative joint disease) is perhaps the most common.

Although nothing can stop the gradual degeneration of joints, there are certain dietary supplements that have been proven to help reduce the pain that sufferers experience.

Why it’s particularly good for arthritis sufferers ….

Aloe Vera on its own has significant anti-inflammatory properties, but, combine this with Chondroitin and Glucosamine (which are proven to reduce pain in arthritis sufferers) and you have a very powerful tool in helping you to lead a normal life.

Forever Freedom is a unique aloe vera-based drinking gel (definitely not to be confused with lower quality aloe vera juices), which helps maintain structure and hydration required for healthy joint function and mobility. It contains more than 80% pure inner leaf aloe vera, together with naturally sourced (not synthetic) Chondroitin and Glucosamine and other nutritional goodies such as Vitamin C which is essential for healing & repair.

Its an ideal supplement for athletes, people who are very active and mature people who are more likely to develop the condition later in life. If you take anti-inflammatory medications such as ibuprofen to ease symptoms, you should give this a try. As all the ingredients are naturally sourced, there are virtually none of the nasty side effects that you can get from over the counter medications (have you ever seen the number of possible side effects listed in the information leaflet in a box of ibuprofen??)

Not only does aloe vera have anti-inflammatory properties, it:

• Contains over 75 different nutrients and minerals so its a great way to give your body an added boost
• Works to cleanse and balance the body from the inside
• Helps nutrients (and medication) to be absorbed more efficiently (increased bio-availability)

If you or anyone you know suffers from arthritis and are open to trying something natural as a way to help manage your condition, please get in touch on 07554 080815 or through our contact form

Try it for yourself for 60 days (yes, two months) and if you aren’t happy with the results, you can have every single penny of your money back again. THAT’s how confident we are in the quality of our product.

Propolis Cream – Healing in a Tube?

A unique blend of aloe vera, bee propolis, vitamins A & D

Collected by bees and used to seal hives, propolis has been used for thousands of years by natural practitioners as an antibacterial agent but has, until recently been largely forgotten.

It’s a natural, sticky resin type substance and varies in composition depending on where and when it was produced.

Forever Living Products have taken this fantastic substance, known for its healing and medicinal properties and blended it with an aloe vera base, combined with camomile, vitamins A & E for a superior quality, rich and luxurious cream, designed for everyday use.

Many people with “harsh on the hands” jobs or hobbies (think nurses, plumbers, gardeners & builders) use it as a barrier cream and love its rich, luxurious feel, keeping skin supple, moisturised and protected.

The combined healing properties of the propolis and aloe vera have been particularly experienced by people suffering from skin conditions such as psoriasis and eczema.  Cold sore sufferer? Apply Propolis Cream instead of over-the-counter preparations for a more effective treatment.

You Are What You Eat – Or Are You?

Modern farming techniques deplete the food we eat of vital nutrients. You could have a great balanced diet, but still not get the goodness you need from your food.

Should it be: You Are What You Absorb?

With modern intensive farming techniques depleting soil and transportation and storage methods leaching valuable nutrients from our food, it’s now almost impossible to get every vitamin and mineral that our bodies need from our food.

Over time, foods and especially the toxins we eat, build up a layer within the gut that hinders nutrients being properly absorbed into the body. You may eat a great balanced diet, but if your body doesn’t absorb the nutrients, you can quickly become deficient, which will lead to other health problems.

Aloe vera contains a huge amount of nutrients (around 75), including 19 of the 20 amino acids that the body needs and seven of eight essential ones that the body cannot produce for itself. It particularly benefits the soft epithelial tissue of the body, which includes skin, lungs, bowel/digestion tract and with its natural anti-inflammatory properties, helps to reduce the effects of “anything with an itis”.  Other substances found in the aloe (salicyclic acid and plant sterols) help to maintain healthy joint  mobility and flexibilty and soothe muscles.

The aloe balances out the immune system and regulates bacteria, cleansing the gut of toxins which clogging up the delicate lining, thereby allowing your body to absorb nutrients, especially protein, and medication more effectively. Long term use of medication can have its own detrimental effects on the body, so, by absorbing the medication you are taking more effectively, can, in some cases, lead to less actually being needed on a daily basis.

So, with everything in our world working against us in our efforts to remain fit and healthy, taking a single 60ml shot of aloe vera each day is a quick-win which gives us a much needed boost of goodness to help our bodies fight infection and illness.

Can Fibromyalgia be Eased with Aloe Vera?

Fibromyalgia affects people in different ways, but chronic fatigue is a major symptom of many sufferers

Decide for yourself. Helen was introduced to aloe vera and this is her story …..

I had been diagnosed with fibromyalgia (FM) when I was 19 years old (I’m now in my early thirties) and before I started taking the aloe vera, it was making my life and that of my family, a misery.

My muscles would ache constantly, I’d suffer from migraines that would last for two or more weeks and my mood was always low. It would leave me confined to my bed, barely having the strength or inclination to get up, I felt like I was a misery”regular” mum and housewife.

My friend suggested I try drinking aloe vera. Like most people, I had never heard of it being drunk before, but I gave it a go and almost straight away I noticed my energy levels creeping up and the migraines became less intense. The medication that I had been taking for years was working more efficiently, which meant I could decrease some of the dose. 

On top of that, I could not only get out of bed, but actually do the “normal” mum and housewife housewife things. For the first time in a long time, I can actually start to plan for and actually be able to take trips out with my family. 

I know the aloe vera does not cure fibromyalgia, but by helping to reduce my pain and the fatigue, it gives me the ability to lead my life with some semblance of normality, that before, I didn’t have.

Aloe vera has given me my life back, my husband his wife back and my son, his mum back. And for that, I will always be grateful.

What Can Help with Psoriasis?

Psoriasis on the face

I have had Psoriasis since my teenage years. For some reason, it appeared mostly on my face, which as you can imagine is very embarrassing. I would get very dry, scaly red patches on either side of my nose, around my forehead and chin area. They would really itch and sometimes bleed if I couldn’t stop myself from scratching.

As expected, the doctor gave me betnovate steroid cream, which I used for a few years but it didn’t really help that much. When I requested a repeat prescription one day, the doctor said that he couldn’t give me this any more as you are not supposed to use it on the face as it thins the skin and therefore is exposing the skin to harmful rays and could result in cancer later in life….great!!! So, after that, I was on my own quest to find something to help.

I tried so many creams….E45, Sudocrem and many more – I think I was single-handedly keeping Boots in business; I spent hundreds of £’s and nothing worked; they usually made it worse. I started to try and hide it with make up, but my skin was so dry, that didn’t really help either.

I eventually ended up with a range from Boots which wasn’t too bad and mostly helped the dryness. I could live with it, but it never completely took away the itchiness though and I would have flare ups every now and then, especially when I was stressed. At one point, everyone kept staring at me as it was so red and inflamed and a few people were even concerned that I had been burnt. By now I was in my 30’s and it was just a part of life.

Fast forward to September 2011 when I was introduced to Forever Living Products’ aloe vera.  I had absolutely no idea that you could drink it and that it works by healing from the inside. Psoriasis means that you have an over active immune system and aloe vera helps to re balance it. I’d tried everything else, so what did I have to lose?

I started drinking the plain Aloe Vera Gel and in the first couple of weeks, there was a little improvement and then, on the third week, it actually got even worse! I was told that this was the ‘healing crisis’ and to persevere as the aloe vera was pushing all the rubbish from the inside to the surface and that new cells were forming. I really want to stop taking the aloe vera, but was told that this would only last 5-10 days. So out came the make up again to hide my face. As promised, it gradually got better and now I will never look back!!! I have not had one bad day in a year! Thank you aloe vera….I love you. Why didn’t I find you when I was 14 years old?? I could have saved myself an awful lot of heartache!

I will never be without it again and, an added bonus, the aloe vera has so many nutrients in it, it actually works as a supplement my diet.

Aloe Vera & Wounds

Aloe vera helps speed up the healing process by around 30%

My first experience of Aloe Vera was when a friend broke off a leaf of the plant and told me that if I put the gel that oozed out of the leaf on the scab of a burn, which I’d just knocked, then it would heal very quickly. And she was right. It stopped hurting and the pink-ness died down within the hour.

So when I had the invitation to come to a Forever Aloe Party, my first thought was ‘I wonder whether they actually sell the Aloe Vera plant itself’ as I was under the impression that to get the best from Aloe, you would have to use the very plant itself, and not some possibly watered-down or additive-based version of Aloe. So I went along to the Party, watched the introduction video and saw the footage of Aloe Vera being harvested, etc and thought, ‘yes, that’s the plant that healed my burn’. So when it came to the products themselves being demonstrated, and in particular the Aloe Vera Gelly, I was very interested to find out that this product was 100% Aloe, and not an attenuated form of the plant. I bought the Gelly, along with lots of other Aloe goodies too, as to be honest, I wanted to support my friends who were hosting this Party; I had every faith in what they were selling but a little part of me still thought that you would be hard pushed to get the same result from a tube of Gelly that I had got from the broken leaf of the Aloe plant itself.

Some weeks later, I was doing some gardening and did the most stupidest thing – using a hedge trimmer I was cutting the lawn borders and my thumb got in the way! Panic; I am very squeamish so couldn’t even look at what I’d done to my thumb, so half an hour later saw me at the doctors who then referred me to A&E. I had cut the tip of my thumb in such a way that it had a sort of ‘flip-top’ appearance – think Pez Dispenser! I had steri-strips applied instead of stitches and told to go back to my GP in ten days for their removal. The day came when the steri-strips were removed and on looking at my patient notes on the monitor in the surgery read thus: ‘Patient accidentally lacerated top of thumb with electric hedge trimmer……’ . (So, how many people do this ‘purposefully’ I though wryly to myself!). By this time, I was able to actually look at my thumb and it looked a complete mess; lop-sided, with the original ‘flip-top’ part sort of wedge-shaped, sticking up at 45 degrees with congealed blood underneath it which looked like that was why it was making half of the thumb tip still ‘flipped’ and – well, it looked awful, quite disgusting! When I got home I thought of my Aloe Gelly and, nothing ventured nothing gained (and I’d already been applying it to the odd skin blemish – ok, occasional spot!), squeezed some gel on to my thumb and gently patted it around the wound. I did this for a few days just as and when I felt like it really – the gel looked exactly like the gel I’d got out of the plant itself I must add, and it felt cool and soothing too.

Without me realising it, another little Aloe miracle was being performed as within I suppose about 7 days, my thumb had returned to normal….you would NOT believe this but it looks like nothing had ever happened to it, you can hardly see a scar either and I could kick myself for not having photographed my thumb so that I had some before and after pictures but I did not think that I would need to; I had faith in the Aloe gelly but would never have expected the whole injury to look like it never had happened! I wish I had some supporting photos to show everyone but alas I haven’t – I didn’t know that I would be writing this testimonial; maybe the next time I chop a little part of me off…..no, not going to do that again!

So, the whole time-scale from start to finish, from gardening accident to 100% healed thumb took just 3 weeks. Maybe I heal quickly, I don’t know – and maybe it’s because I am also using the Aloe juice drink and my other goodies I bought at the Party; who knows….I however am convinced that it is ‘The Gelly and Nothing But The Gelly’ that made my thumb heal so quickly and almost before my very eyes. My family and friends who have seen the thumb since cannot believe that it looks so unblemished. The only reminder of the accident is very slight numbness which I suppose is just down to a few nerve endings being cut – oh, and the still nearly full tube of Aloe Gelly because I only needed little daubs every so often; it seems to go on ‘Forever’ (Aloe)!

I can only say try it yourself it you have doubts; I have never liked some testimonials where people appear to rave about a product almost to the point of fanatical as it makes me suspicious that they have a vested interest somewhere along the line; but I do hope that anyone reading this will just do one thing for me – believe this testimonial of mine, if it is the only one you ever believe……….

Thanks Michelle and Jenny for introducing me to the world of Aloe.

What Can Help with Rheumatoid Arthritis?

Sufferers of rheumatoid arthritis very often suffer from chronic fatigue

My good friend Ally has suffered with debilitating rheumatoid arthritis since being diagnosed three years ago. If, after reading, you’re interested to try some of the products for yourself, please contact us on 01603 470636 or 07554 080815

Believing that the doctors had tried everything and that there was nothing that she hadn’t tried, she was understandably sceptical about trying something else, especially a natural product that didn’t contain any medication or drugs. She overcame her scepticism and decided to try the product knowing that she had a 60 day money-back guarantee. She had nothing to lose and everything to gain if it didnt work for her. This is a summary of her story ……..

“I have early onset Rheumatoid Arthritis and since starting to take the aloe vera drinking gel I haven’t just improved my life, it’s changed beyond all recognition.

Since being diagnosed, I have been in and out of hospital, had terrible side effects from the prescribed medication (including hair loss, vomiting and recurring infections) and I’ve had many many days where I simply couldn’t get out of bed. I suffered from chronic fatigue, which is one of the symptoms of the rheumatoid arthritis) and, as you can imagine, my mental health was affected and I became very depressed and unhappy.

In six weeks of drinking the Aloe Vera Gel, I noticed my energy levels had significantly increased, I was sleeping much better and after a few more weeks the chronic fatigue had gone. I no longer require all the painkilling drugs I was taking; I no longer wear splints on my wrists in bed and my mobility has increased dramatically. Being able to enjoy a simple afternoon shopping with my friends is something that I could not even begin to contemplate six months ago.

The aloe vera does not (and will not) cure the rheumatoid arthritis, but because of the way it works to balance the immune system, it significantly reduces the symptoms and, while I do still have bad days, they are far less frequent and when I do have them, they are nowhere near as bad as they used to be.”

Ally has since joined Forever Living Products as a Distributor, partly because of the benefit she has had from drinking the aloe vera gel, but also because she saw a great opportunity to build herself a business, with support from a friendly local team (us!) that would give her a lifestyle and financial stability, which is simply unachievable in her current job.

“I’ve realised, since joining Forever, that my current job had quashed my dreams and compacted them into a little box that matched my little income. Somewhere along the way I lost all my big dreams and was left with a reality I didn’t really like.”
