Curaloe Aloe Vera Capsules – 99% Freeze-Dried Aloe Vera

Certified-organic Aloe vera (Aloe barbadensis Miller) — the "true aloe," grown & cold-pressed in Vivo, Limpopo, South Africa (not the wild Aloe ferox most SA brands use). USDA NOP & EU organic certified by Ecocert. Why barbadensis?

The same single-species Aloe barbadensis Miller inner-leaf material as our cold-pressed juice — freeze-dried into capsules for daily use without the bottle. Made for travel, the gym bag and people who'd rather take the daily intake than drink the juice.

Good to know: one bottle lasts 1 to 2 months at 1–2 capsules a day, which works out to about R6–12 per day. Delivered in 2–5 working days; free delivery over R550.

Why this product

• 💊 Same ACAP-grown inner-leaf material as our juice — single species, single source
• ❄️ Freeze-dried, not heat-dried — preserves polysaccharide structure
• ✈️ Travel-friendly — carry-on legal, no fridge required
• 🇿🇦 Grown, processed and capsulated in South Africa at our ACAP facility
• ✅ HACCP, Ecocert, Kosher, Halal certified

Why freeze-dried matters

Most bulk aloe powder is spray-dried at 150–180°C, which fragments the long-chain polysaccharides (including acemannan) that distinguish quality inner-leaf aloe. Freeze-drying removes water under vacuum at low temperature, keeping that structure intact. It's the same inner-leaf material as our juice — cold-pressed at our ACAP plantation, then freeze-dried — which is why it costs more than commodity-powder capsules.

What's inside

• Freeze-dried Aloe barbadensis Miller inner-leaf material (single species, no blends)
• Plant-based capsule shell (HPMC, vegetarian)

No fillers, flow agents, artificial colours or magnesium stearate.

How people use them

Built for the situations where a juice bottle isn't practical: international travel, the gym bag or office drawer, a backup for the juice, and multi-week safari, hiking or remote trips. Suggested serving: 1–2 capsules per day with a full glass of water, ideally with a meal. One bottle of 60 capsules lasts 1 to 2 months.

Who this is not for

• Children under 10 (consult a paediatric professional first)
• Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals (consult your healthcare provider before use)
• Individuals with kidney disease, inflammatory bowel disease, or those on prescription medication — always check with your doctor
• Anyone with a known sensitivity to aloe or related Asphodelaceae plants
• People who struggle to swallow capsules (the juice format is better for you)

Storage & shelf life

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Do not refrigerate. Keep the desiccant pouch in the bottle. Use within 24 months of manufacture. Best-before date on the bottle base.

FAQ

How do these compare to drinking the juice? Both are made from the same inner-leaf Aloe barbadensis Miller. The juice (30–60 ml a day) suits people who like a daily drink; the capsules (1–2 a day) need no fridge and travel easily. You lose the taste and ritual; you gain travel flexibility and compactness.

Are these the same as supermarket aloe capsules? No. Most contain spray-dried imported powder of unspecified species. Ours are freeze-dried inner-leaf material from our own Aloe barbadensis Miller plantation in South Africa.

Can I take them on a plane? Yes — solid supplements travel freely in hand or checked luggage. Keep the labelled bottle for customs.

Are these vegetarian/vegan? Yes. The shell is plant-based HPMC, with no animal-derived ingredients.

What if I struggle to swallow capsules? Open the capsule and stir the contents into water, juice or a smoothie.

Our aloe: certified-organic Aloe vera (Aloe barbadensis Miller)

The aloe in Curaloe products is our own Aloe vera (Aloe barbadensis Miller) — the "true aloe" prized in skincare and wellness, not the wild Aloe ferox that most South African aloe brands use. We grow it ourselves and cold-press it within hours of hand-harvest at our plantation in Vivo, Limpopo Province, South Africa.

That aloe is certified organic by Ecocert to both the USDA National Organic Program (NOP) and EU organic standards. Curaloe is the consumer brand of African Caribbean Aloe Products (ACAP). Why Aloe vera (Aloe barbadensis Miller)?
