In the Brazilian natural health formula the immune-modulating property in Aloe arborescens is carried out by the glucomannans, a class of long-chained sugars derived from the plants, which have demonstrated in clinical and laboratory studies to have a wide variety of protective and immunostimulating effects in the human body. Aloe Arborescens Miller contain the largest concentrations of acetylmannan, the most active form available existing in nature. The acemannan molecule, in particular, produces immunomodulating effects that regulate immune defenses according to the body’s requirements. This mucopolysaccharide deals with the damaging processes of the body by acting as an immune stimulant, principally by stimulating the production of T lymphocytes and macrophages from the thymus and the beta cells of the pancreas.

What immune depressive conditions have in common is a high incidence of digestive dysfunctions, generally manifested by poor digestion. A common denominator in all the beneficial actions of acemannan is the ability to coat and permeate all the gastrointestinal surfaces, increasing the fluidity and the permeability of these membranes. In this way, it allows the easy expulsion of toxins and an even faster absorption of nutritive factors. This stops the immune system from intervening in internal digestive support, which could cause its compromise, and saves the immune defenses for where they may be really needed. In this way, Aloe Arborescens supports normal homeostasis.

The purifying action of Aloe Arborescens juice is due to several molecules. The aloin contained in the outer rind leaf part of the plant supports normal bowel function and has blood purifying effects. Saponins are also present in the gel, with their detergent and exfoliating action, especially in relation to the integumentary apparatus. Potassium, a mineral, carries out a fundamental role which makes it possible to eliminate waste products derived from oxidation processes that occur in the cytoplasm. Even in this case, the complex sugar, acemannan, strengthens cell walls, so that the toxins created by metabolism and secondary reactions due to partially digested food can be properly eliminated from the body.1
