The Science behind the C9

by Forever UK

2021. The start of a brand-new year, and let’s face it, after last year who doesn’t want to make a strong and positive start to the New Year? January is the time for a fresh start, a clean slate and a recommitment to our goals. But what is the C9 and why does it work? This nine-day programme includes advanced nutrition and exercise routines to help you succeed and reach your personal best on your terms. Typically, it can take up to three weeks to break out of a habit, so the C9 is designed to help adjust your mindset and get your nutrition on track so you can challenge yourself to really look and feel better, and develop long-term habits that will help you to achieve a healthier lifestyle. The C9 is not just a nine-day programme. It is a reset for your body to help you develop healthy habits that you can take forward after the programme has finished. Think about what you want to achieve with this programme, and set yourself goals which you can tick off as you progress through. Remember, set your goals for YOU.

To support you with your reset and help you make the most out of your routine, you need a strong nutritional foundation, and this programme is specifically designed to fuel your body, alongside helping you to alter and develop your mindset to conquer cravings and stay committed to your goals. Five products make up the foundation of this programme, and each one is designed to provide supplemented support: The Products ALOE VERA GEL DRINKS Forever’s Aloe Vera

Gel drinks are the foundation of a healthy routine, and contain up to 99.7 percent pure inner leaf aloe gel. Aloe is great for skin, the immune system and it’s an ideal digestive aid. This purifying gel also contains vitamin C which contributes to the normal function of the immune system and to a normal energy-yielding metabolism. On the programme you can choose either classic Forever Aloe Vera Gel or try Forever Aloe Peaches or Forever Aloe Berry Nectar for a burst of cranberry, sweet apple and vitamin C. FOREVER LITE ULTRA Forever Lite Ultra is a delicious shake mix that provides your body with crucial muscle-building protein along with a complex blend of vitamins, minerals and amino acids.

Wipe the slate clean in 2021

There is no better way to start a New Year than with a brand-new product! Forever is pleased to announce the launch of our brand-new Aloe Liquid Soap. This product will be available to purchase from Monday 11th January

Cleanse and moisturise with Forever’s Aloe Liquid Soap. Our creamy, pearlescent formula nourishes to leave your skin feeling fresh and renewed. Whether it’s on your kitchen counter or in the shower, Aloe Liquid Soap harnesses the power of aloe with other powerful ingredients to provide a versatile, whole-body cleansing experience for the whole family.

By combining the best of nature with pure aloe vera from our own fields, Forever has created a liquid soap that leaves skin feeling soft and clean. Aloe soothes and softens, while argan oil delivers vitamin E and natural fatty acids to condition and promote healthy skin. This extraordinary ingredient is known as “liquid gold of Morocco” and is carefully harvested from the fruit of the tree.

We also boosted the skin enhancing benefits of Aloe Liquid Soap with jojoba esters and cucumber fruit extract to help maintain moisture. The soothing properties combine perfectly with aloe vera to gently cleanse and leave skin feeling smooth and soft. But the benefits don’t stop there. We’ve added Arnica fruit extract, harvested from a yellow flower that grows in the mountains, to help stimulate skin for a fresh complexion.

With a combination of natural oils, extracts and pure aloe vera, Aloe Liquid Soap has just what your skin needs to feel clean, nourished and renewed.

A powerful, gentle and versatile cleanser for the whole family.

• Perfect for a whole-body cleansing experience

• Argan oil and jojoba infuse moisture into your skin

• Soft on sensitive skin

• Suitable for the entire family

From 11th January, Aloe Liquid Soap will replace Aloe Hand Soap. Aloe Liquid Soap is an update to the formula which makes it ideal for any circumstances. It is a whole-body liquid soap that helps retain skin’s moisture with pure aloe vera, jojoba oil and other powerful ingredients.

All About Aloe Vera

Grown in hot climates around the world, the aloe plant is renowned by society for its luscious leaves and tropical appearance, with many choosing to decorate their homes with this plant. However, there is far more to this decorative plant than simply its impressive aesthetics, for within the large verdant leaves of the aloe plant lies the miraculous aloe vera. A cool and calming gel like substance, aloe vera is a naturally occurring medicinal property. Becoming increasingly popular within both the beauty and health industries, aloe vera is a sought-after item in which many value and utilise for both its healing and beautifying properties.

Here at Forever Living they work to harness these naturally occurring properties, combining both their cosmetic and medicinal benefits into products that will leave you feeling beautiful from the inside out. The aloe content contained within Forever Aloe Vera Gel (and the other three gels) has also been known to carry several nutritional benefits that can, amongst other things, benefit skin health. We therefore recommend taking a daily dose (120ml) of Forever Aloe Vera Gel everyday.

Committed to Producing Quality Aloe Vera Products

For over forty years, Forever Living has demonstrated a commitment and passion for finding and sourcing nature’s purest ingredients, pairing them with the latest scientific advancements to create outstanding organic products. Harmonising nature with science, Forever Living products help to ensure that both you and your family reach your optimum performance levels both physically and mentally.

The key to Forever Living’s success is their commitment to the quality and purity of our ​Aloe Vera products​. ​Planted, tended, and harvested by hand, Forever Living’s aloe plants are lovingly nurtured from seedling to plant, receiving thorough care and attention that is second to none. Once fully grown, the potent aloe vera gel is delicately separated from the leaf, before being gently stabilised in a special, patented process, all mere hours after being harvested in order to provide you with the freshest and most pure aloe vera based products possible. There are over 400 species of aloe in the world but only four are considered to hold nutritional qualities that are of value; Barbadensis Miller, the species grown by Forever Living, is by far the most powerful.

Forever proudly uses the aloe gel, not the sap. There’s little evidence of any health benefits from aloe vera sap, which forms the bitter part of the leaf, but the inner gel is thought to be the most beneficial part – the higher the percentage found in products, the better! Fortunately, Forever Aloe Vera Gel is over 95% stabilised aloe gel!

Where is the Aloe Vera Grown?

The fields where Forever Living grows its aloe vera are owned entirely by Forever Living and the farmers who hand-pick the mature aloe leaves are Forever employees that are very much considered a part of the Forever family. The field in the Dominican Republic is the largest plantation in the world and every aloe leaf that is picked is processed within hours to ensure the inner gel is still intact with its inherent qualities.

The Aloe Vera Ingredients

At Forever Living they have dedicated themselves to seeking out nature’s best resources to help improve and perfect the health and cosmetic industry, providing the world with quality natural products that are guaranteed to improve people’s quality of life. It is this commitment to creating premium natural products that led to Forever Living receiving the International Aloe Science Council’s Seal of Approval for both consistency and purity.

They combine pure aloe vera with natural and scientifically advanced ingredients which are specially chosen to complement and enhance the benefits of aloe. The versatility of aloe vera means it can be combined with different ingredients and utilised in a multitude of ways to help both you and your family look and feel as good on the outside as you do on the inside.

Every product starts out life as 100% aloe vera leaf gel, before we delicately add carefully crafted ingredients to produce outstanding final products. Ranging from drinkable gels for regulating your digestive system, to soothing massage lotions for relaxation, to revitalising eye creams to combat ageing, we have a product to suit your every need.
