Aloe ferox (leaf) 860 mg./ Aloe barabadensis ( leaf)
The aloe vera plant has been used for ages in the treatment of a variety of different ailments. It originally came from Africa. As a part of NutriClean Aloe, the aloe leaf is used as a quick, safe natural solution to occasional constipation † and generally slow digestion. The constituents of aloe leatex responsible for its laxative effects † are known as anthraquinone glycosides. These molecules are then split by the normal bacteria in the large intestines to form other molecules called aglycones, which wield aloe’s laxative effects. Aloe is actually a very strong laxative. From just below the surface of the leaves comes the juice with potent laxative properties. In Europe, aloe is used almost exclusively as a digestive aid and laxative. Elsewhere, the gel from the inner leaf is a popular ingredient in many skin preparations and cosmetics, juice drinks and herbal dietary supplements used for a myriad of purposes. Orally, aloe is used as a general tonic.
