How can I determine what is a good brand of aloe vera to purchase?
There are two ways, one is to rely on testing from a reliable, independent laboratory. Another is to perform the testing yourself. It is possible to buy inexpensive test kits, but beware. Some fraudulent companies are becoming more sophisticated. They are adding cheap ingredients which are of no medical value but which fool the simple tests. The more complex tests which can detect these additions as well as determine the presence and quantities of aloe are expensive, usually running between $700 and $1,000 per test.
