Aloe Vera Drinking Gel Active Freedom – vitamin C for cartilage, bones and energy on the move

Do you want to stay active for years to come?

Most of us know that the best thing for our bodies is to keep moving: the daily walk, the stairs instead of the lift, the Saturday park run or a few hours in the garden. Movement and the right nutrients go together, and that is the idea behind Active Freedom. It is the drinking gel for people who want to stay on the go.

The key nutrient is vitamin C. It contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of cartilage and for the normal function of bones, two things that matter for everyone who likes to be active. Vitamin C also contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism and to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. On top of that, LR adds vitamin E, collagen hydrolysate, glucosamine sulphate and chondroitin sulphate to the 88% aloe vera base, and a natural orange flavour keeps it refreshing.

Pair it with a little more movement each day: get off the bus a stop early, take the stairs, stretch for five minutes in the evening. That combination is what makes the difference.
