I've just heard about an Aloe vera supplement called Aloeride which is supposed to be superior to all other aloes....at least that's what the company claim! The company is 'something Francais', can't remember the first word, but look it up on www.bioterrain.co.uk
It's in capsule form, has no preservatives , doesn't need to be refridgerated and has a shelf-life of 2 years!!! Sounds too good to be true? It's also £18 for 28 capsules so very expensive. The 'science' is on the website but the company have their own website.
The aloe I just started taking has the preservatives I asked about in the first post, but the company told me to drink lots of water to dilute them.
