Little Known Facts about Aloe Vera

 Lignin:
Another component of Aloe Vera consists of the lignins, a structural material of cellulose content that allows for penetrative properties. Aloe Vera can soak into all the layers of the skin. Lignins penetrate the toughened areas of the skin being beneficial for skin problems such as eczema and psoriasis

Saponins:
These are soapy substances from the gel that is capable of cleansing and having antiseptic properties. The saponins perform strongly as anti-microbials against bacteria, viruses, fungi, and yeasts.

1. Aloin:cathartic and emetic

Amino Acids: The amino acids in Aloe Vera are the building blocks of protein and influence our brain function. Humans require 22 amino acids and the body will make all of them except for eight essential amino acids which our body gets from the food/drinks that we take in. Every one of the essential amino acids are available in Aloe Vera.

Anthraquinones: Located in the sap of the leaves you will find twelve anthraquinones, a compound

that has stimulating effects on the bowels and antibiotic properties. In small amounts the anthraquinones do not have a purgative effect. They help with absorption from the gastro intestinal tract and have anti-microbial and pain killing effects. The most important anthraquinones are aloin and emodin. They are anti-bacterial, anti-viral, and analgesic. The anthraquinones in Aloe Vera breakup residue, pus and lifeless cells, bring blood to the region and flush out material from the wounds and ulcers.

Enzymes: Enzymes act as biochemical catalysts that break down the proteins we eat into amino acids. The enzymes turn the food we eat into fuel for every cell in our body, enabling the cells to function and work efficiently. The main enzymes found in Aloe Vera include Amylase (breaks down sugars and starches), Bradykinase (stimulates immune system, analgesic, anti-inflammatory), Catalase (prevents accumulation of water in the body), Cellulase (aids digestion - cellulose), Lipase (aids digestion - fats), Alkaline Phosphatase, Proteolytiase (hydrolyses proteins into their constituent elements) and Creatine Phosphokinase (aids metabolism).

Vitamins & Minerals: The next thing we need to ask ourselves is what fuels the enzymes? The key is the vitamins and minerals we take in. For instance if we lack in zinc or Vitamin B6, our body will not be able to break down or use protein. Because of the healing properties of Aloe Vera and its synergistic action, the body receives what it needs to work properly. Aloe Vera, an antioxidant rich plant, contains vitamins such as A, C and E plus the minerals, zinc and selenium. Anti-oxidants help boost the immune system and combat free radicals in the body

It also contains Vitamins B1, B2, B3, B5, B6 and B12 along with choline, calcium (teeth and bone formation, muscle contractions and heart health), magnesium(strengthens teeth and bones, maintains healthy muscles and nervous system, activates enzymes), zinc (speeds up wound healing, mental quickness, assists with healthy teeth, bones, skin, immune system and digestive aid), manganese (activates enzymes, builds healthy bones, nerves and tissues), chromium (assists with protein metabolism and balancing of blood sugars), selenium which all influence our brain performance.

Aloe Vera also contains the trace minerals of rhodium and iridium used in cancer and tumor research experiments.

Salicylic Acid: Aloe Vera contains salicylic acid which is an aspirin-like compound with anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and anti-bacterial properties. It has anti-pyretic properties for reducing fevers.
