Unfortunately, I don't believe it is. The manapol focuses on a specific inner leaf of the aloe vera plant. The other stuff does not. From what I've read, the manapol is just more effective than the other stuff offered on the internet. I am curious about the stuff from China that someone posted about, but I would be cautious about the quality. BTW, I think you can purchase the raw material manapol powder but it is extremely expensive and I am not sure if an individual can purchase it. It may have to be purchased through a company. Duane may have offered the best solution. Just purchase the capsules and empty them into your formula. At least you will get 9 grams.
