1/25/2006 - Nutritional powders supplier Nutri Pharmaceuticals Research will introduce a range of products with higher bioavailability thanks to a technology based on aloe vera.

A small clinical trial reported in the November 2005 issue of Phytomedicine found that use of aloe vera improved the bioavailability of vitamin E by over 200 percent. Vitamin E is one of NPRI's top ten products.
