Description

Alcare – Aloe Bitter Crystals 7g

Alcare – Aloe Bitter Crystals 7 g are a highly concentrated, traditional herbal product made from the bitter sap (latex) of the Aloe ferox plant. These natural crystals are known for their strong bitter compounds, especially aloin, and have been traditionally used to support digestive health and occasional relief of constipation. Due to their potency, they are used in very small amounts and are intended for short-term or occasional use, not daily long-term supplementation. The bitterness comes from aloin, a naturally occurring compound in Aloe ferox latex. This compound acts as a potent natural laxative and has traditionally been used to support digestion, stimulate bowel movements, and assist in cleansing the digestive system when taken in small quantities.

🌿 Ingredients:

• Aloe ferox bitter crystals / bitter sap powder — 100 % natural, with no added fillers or artificial ingredients (derived from the bitter latex of Aloe ferox).

🧠 Potential Benefits:

✔ Digestive support: May help relieve occasional constipation by stimulating bowel movements.
✔ Internal detoxification: Traditionally used to support mild cleansing or digestive “detox” cycles.
✔ Immune and general wellness: Aloe ferox compounds may have antibacterial and antifungal properties, contributing to broader wellness benefits in some traditional uses.
✔ Bitter tonic effects: Bitter botanicals like these have been used historically to stimulate digestive juices and improve appetite.

✅ Typical Uses:

• Take very small amounts internally (e.g., a small pinch or crystal with water) — due to its potency, only tiny doses are recommended.

• Often used periodically during digestive cleansing phases instead of daily long-term use.

⚠️ Safety & Precautions:

• Strong laxative effect: Aloin is potent; excessive use can lead to cramps, diarrhea, or dehydration.

• Not suitable during pregnancy or breastfeeding.

• Avoid if you have intestinal blockages, inflammatory bowel disease, appendicitis, or unexplained abdominal pain.

• Always start with very small doses and consult a healthcare provider for internal herbal remedies.

Brief History:

Alcare Aloe (also known as The House of Aloes) is a South African skincare and wellness company founded in 1986 in Albertinia, Western Cape. The brand was established to harness the natural benefits of the indigenous Aloe ferox (Cape aloe) plant, which grows abundantly in the region and has been used for centuries by local cultures for its soothing, hydrating and skin-supporting properties.

Alcare’s products are made using extracts from different parts of the aloe leaf — including the inner gel, bitter sap and outer skin — and are incorporated into a wide range of skincare, bodycare and health products such as soaps, lotions, gels, creams, drinks, and supplements.

The brand emphasizes locally sourced ingredients, environmentally friendly harvesting of wild Aloe ferox, and quality manufacturing to bring the plant’s traditional healing reputation into modern cosmetic and wellness formulations. Over the decades, Alcare has become a well-known name in natural African aloe products both locally and internationally.
