Aloe Vera contains over 200 biologically active elements. Of which the most dominant element is the protein, polysaccharide. Polysaccharide directs the other active components such as amino acids, vitamins and sterols, in a relationship which is analogous to a conductor and an orchestra. The communication in this relationship is made possible through the polarity of water. The positive or negative end of the water molecule bonds accordingly with the charged aloe compound. The water molecules then continue to bond with each other to form a chain between polysaccharide and other compounds, this enables communication between receptors and activates change.
