Properties of Aloe Vera Aloe Vera contains over 75 naturally occurring ingredients - vitamins, minerals, amino acids, enzymes, sugars etc. Many of these seem to be affective within Aloe Vera due to the way they interact with each other. Due to the complex nature of its make-up, Aloe Vera has been found to have many properties as follows: Aloe Vera is Antibacterial, an inhibitor of formation of fungi and yeast, aids digestion and gut absorption, reduces uptake of toxins in gut and facilitates absorption of vitamins C, E and B12 Aloe Vera contains vitamins A, C, E, B1, B2, B6, B12, Folic acid and Niacin, together with many minerals, including potassium, sodium, magnesium, zinc and iron, amongst others. It contains enzymes including amylase and lipase, which help to break down fats and sugars. Anthraquinones are present, which in small amounts (as found in the gel) are said to aid gut absorption. Sugars (polysaccharides) within the plant, most importantly 'gluco-mannans' are known to help absorption of nutrients. |
