Why does aloe vera work? In a previous newsletter we mentioned the 6 antiseptic agents and 3 anti-inflammatory fatty acids and their benefits, now if we add that aloe contains at least 23 polypeptides (immune stimulators), then we understand why aloe juice helps to enhance and strengthen the immune system. The anti-inflammatory fatty acids can be helpful for the stomach, small intestine and colon. It naturally alkalizes digestive juices to prevent over-acidity – a common cause of indigestion. It helps cleanse the digestive tract by exerting a soothing, balancing effect. A newly discovered compound in aloe, acemannan, is currently being studied for its ability to strengthen the body’s natural resistance. Studies have shown acemannan to boost T-lymphocyte cells that aid the immune system. Aloe vera is a juice like other juices on the market, except it has greater benefits for over all good health and vitality.
