Pregnancy and Aloe Vera

Is Aloe Vera Gel safe to take during pregnancy, and what other FLP products are useful in pregnancy? This is a question that is asked regularly, and the answer is:
FLP's Aloe Vera Gel is perfectly safe and has many benefits for the pregnant or breast-feeding mother. It will help keep constipation at bay, it will assist the body by providing and helping assimilate the vitamins, minerals and amino acids necessary for good health in the mother and baby. It will ease morning sickness, lower blood pressure and stabilise hormonal upsets. It will help fight bladder and urinary infections and will kill Candida bacteria, which causes thrush in pregnant women and breast-fed babies. Royal Jelly will help hormone balance. The use of Aloe Gelly rubbed into the skin will help with problem skin, veins, piles and avoid stretch marks. A-Beta-CarE is vital during pregnancy for many body functions and will help hair and skin condition.

My friend's 16 year old daughter had very red and inflamed stretch marks at the tops of her inner thighs. These were obviously through growth as she's very tall and thin. I am aware that with stretch marks it's best to catch them while they are still red to be able to treat them, when they turn silver is when you are left with scarring. I recommended the Alpha-E Factor as this enhances the elasticity in the skin and suggested that she applied it first thing in the morning and last thing at night. Lo and behold they have practically vanished! So a good tip for expectant mothers.
