What is Aloe Vera?
Aloe vera is best known as a topical gel for burns and skin, but taken internally the purified inner-leaf gel is used to soothe the digestive tract, with small trials suggesting benefits for occasional heartburn and irritable bowel comfort. It also supplies polysaccharides that may support a healthy gut lining. The key safety point is to use only inner-leaf gel products that are aloin-free: whole-leaf aloe contains aloin, a harsh laxative compound that is not meant for regular use and is avoided in pregnancy. Look for a decolorized, purified inner-leaf extract. Internal doses are small, often 100 to 200 mg of concentrated gel, or a measured amount of juice.
