On the good news front, a recent article in HerbalGram provided 2009 market sales data on supplements in the US, and likely no surprise to many, aloe vera was at the top of at least one of the lists. Based on what I've heard from many members, this trend seems to be continuing into 2010. The AHP monograph is also in the home stretch, going thru what we hope will be a few more "final reviews" prior to publication - certainly something for the industry to look forward to from a quality and compliance standpoint.
