Aloe Vera Extract Powder — a concentrated, versatile botanical derived from Aloe barbadensis leaf, standardised for potency and purity. Used for centuries in Ayurvedic and traditional medicine, now backed by modern clinical research.

Benefits

Skin Health & Wound Healing

  • Accelerates wound closure and promotes new skin cell proliferation. A randomised controlled trial published in the Journal of Ethnopharmacology (Dat et al., 2012) found aloe vera significantly reduced healing time for first- and second-degree burns compared to conventional dressings.
  • Rich in acemannan (a bioactive polysaccharide), which stimulates fibroblast activity and collagen synthesis — key mechanisms for skin repair and anti-ageing.
  • Demonstrated UV-protective and moisturising effects; a study in Skin Pharmacology and Physiology (Tanaka et al., 2015) showed improved skin elasticity and reduced wrinkle depth with topical aloe vera use over 90 days.

Digestive Health

  • Anthraquinone glycosides (aloin, barbaloin) act as natural laxatives by stimulating intestinal peristalsis.
  • A double-blind, placebo-controlled trial in Journal of Research in Medical Sciences (Khedmat et al., 2013) reported significant improvement in IBS symptoms — including bloating and stool consistency — with aloe vera supplementation over 4 weeks.
  • Mucilaginous polysaccharides coat and soothe the gastrointestinal lining, supporting acid reflux and gastric ulcer management.

Immune & Antioxidant Support

  • Contains vitamins C, E, and beta-carotene alongside polyphenols — all established free-radical scavengers.
  • Acemannan has demonstrated immunomodulatory activity, enhancing macrophage function and cytokine production (International Immunopharmacology, Ramamoorthy & Bhatt, 2006).

Blood Sugar Regulation

  • A meta-analysis in Journal of Clinical Pharmacy and Therapeutics (Suksomboon et al., 2016) — covering 9 randomised trials — found aloe vera supplementation significantly reduced fasting blood glucose and HbA1c in pre-diabetic and type 2 diabetic patients.
  • Proposed mechanisms include enhanced insulin receptor sensitivity and inhibition of intestinal glucose absorption.

Oral Health

  • A comparative study in General Dentistry (George et al., 2009) found aloe vera gel as effective as chlorhexidine in reducing plaque and gingivitis scores over 30 days, without the side effects of staining or altered taste.

Hair & Scalp Health

  • Proteolytic enzymes (notably aliiase) break down dead skin cells on the scalp, unclogging follicles and supporting healthy hair growth.
  • Anti-inflammatory and antifungal properties help manage seborrhoeic dermatitis and dandruff.

How to Use

  • Internal: Mix 1–2g of powder into water, juice, or a smoothie daily. Use only food-grade, decolorised (anthraquinone-free) aloe vera powder for internal consumption.
  • Topical: Blend with a carrier oil, gel base, or water to create a soothing skin or scalp treatment.
