Help with Digestive Issues

Anthraquinone glycosides are found in aloe vera juice. These are plant chemicals that have laxative properties and may help alleviate constipation. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) no longer allowed aloe vera laxatives for over-the-counter sales in 2002 because they had not been studied for safety and efficacy.

According to an early study, aloe vera syrup may help treat and lessen the symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux illness (GERD). Another preliminary study suggests that utilizing aloe vera extract to treat irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) has promising benefits. Finally, while aloe vera may have digestive advantages, there isn't enough study to determine the safety or dose of its usage for these purposes. Aloe vera juice may work as a laxative, though research on the safety of aloe vera products is lacking. Some research suggests aloe could have other benefits on digestive health, but more research is needed.
