Aloe vera contains more than 75 active compounds such as vitamins A, C, E, enzymes, amino acids and especially anthraquinone, polysaccharide (acemannan).
These groups of substances play a strong antioxidant role, reduce inflammation, and support immunity.
These are the core mechanisms that help protect liver and kidney cells from harmful agents from the environment and diet.
The liver is the central organ of metabolism and detoxification.
Aloe vera can help reduce liver damage caused by toxins when combined with other medicinal herbs.
Kidneys are organs easily damaged by free radicals and metabolic toxins. An empirical study published in the World Health Organization (IMSEAR) system shows that aloe vera extract can improve liver and kidney function under oxidative stress.
The main mechanisms include reducing kidney cell damage, improving oxidative-reductive balance, and supporting lipid and toxic metabolism.
Polysaccharides in aloe vera also help regulate immunity, contributing to protecting the body's filtering system.
Using refined aloe vera gel for 60 days does not significantly change liver function in healthy people.
The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) also recommends using only aloe vera gel that has removed the skin, as this part may contain strong stimulants and potentially toxic.
In fact, aloe vera is often used in the form of aloe vera juice (from gel inside the leaves), fresh aloe vera for tea, smoothies or juices.
To ensure benefits, only use the transparent gel part, completely remove the yellow resin layer;
Do not overdose or prolong use;
Avoid using for pregnant women or people with underlying diseases if not consulted with a doctor.
In short, aloe vera is a natural medicinal herb rich in biological active ingredients, with the potential to nourish the liver and kidneys through antioxidation mechanisms, reduce inflammation and support metabolism.
However, aloe vera is not a "panacea". Use needs to be done correctly, in the correct dose, and combined with a healthy lifestyle.
Only then will this familiar plant truly promote its value in taking care of liver and kidney health sustainably.
