Internal Benefits of Aloe vera

Relieve Gastrointestinal Problems

Aloe vera juice may relieve gastrointestinal problems and is one of the plant's most ancient uses.  Even today, people drink the juice to help relieve ulcerous, gastrointestinal and kidney problems. People have described improved regularity, greater intestinal comfort and enhanced energy levels after ingesting biologically active Aloe juice. In addition, many who have suffered from indigestion, irritable bowel syndrome, increased stomach acid, peptic and duodenal ulcers, and colitis have reported relief from these conditions following ingestion of Aloe vera juice.

Coronary Heart Disease

Coronary heart disease is one of the major causes of death in the United States. However, studies suggest that the ingestion of Aloe vera gel may have a beneficial effect on the accumulation of blood fat lipids associated with the disease. Test groups given Aloe vera showed a decrease in total cholesterol, triglyceride, phospholipid and nonesterified fatty acid levels, each of which, when elevated, seem to accelerate the accumulation of fatty material in large and medium-sized arteries, including the coronary arteries of the heart.

External Benefits of Aloe vera

Burn and Wound Healing

Aloe vera is best known for its soothing and healing effects on burns and other wounds. Studies show that biologically active Aloe applied to a wound increases both the rate of wound closure and the tensile strength of the wound via the proliferation of cells, including skin, liver, nerve and blood cells.

Anti-Inflammation

Aging Of The Skin

Aging of the skin is characterized by thinning and wrinkling of the epidermis, combined with the appearance of lines, creases, age spots and furrows in the face. Components of Aloecorp's ACTIValoe® have been found to reverse degenerative skin changes by stimulating collagen and elastin synthesis; in essence, turning back the clock on the effects aging has on skin.

Immune System Restoration

Research has proven that specially-prepared, ACTIValoe® provided by Aloecorp prevents suppression of the skin's immune system. This suppression may be one of the causes of skin cancer. In addition, topical application of ACTIValoe® can be made up to 24 hours after exposure to ultraviolet light without reducing the degree of prevention regarding immune system suppression.

Moisturizer

One of the main reasons Aloe vera has become so popular among consumers is that it possesses incredible moisturizing properties. Studies show that Aloe vera improves the skin's ability to hydrate itself, aids in the removal of dead skin cells and has an effective penetrating ability that helps transport healthy substances through the skin. Each of these factors make biologically active Aloe an ideal ingredient in cosmetic and dermatological products. In fact, Aloe vera is currently one of the most important ingredients in the cosmetics industry, being utilized in over 95% of the dermatologically valuable extracts manufactured worldwide.
