Aloe/200x™ 60 vcaps,Designs for Health

$62.95

Aloe/200x™ contains certified organically grown aloe vera (Aloe barbadensis) in a concentrated form to ensure effcacious results. The number reflected in the product’s name refers to the fact that it takes 200 pounds of the aloe vera inner gel fillets to make one pound of this nourishing aloe extract. The extract from the leaves of the succulent aloe vera plant has long been used as a natural topical first aid for burns, scrapes, and other skin irritations. Aloe not only cools and soothes damaged epithelial cells on the exterior of the body, but it may also soothe inflammation internally in the stomach and middle and lower GI tract. Aloe also possesses antioxidant and antibacterial properties, which may account for its immunosupportive effects. Research indicates that aloe may be a useful adjunct in helping combat gastrointestinal inflammation caused by high amounts of psychological stress, the use of NSAIDs, corticosteroids and/or alcohol.

ANTIBACTERIAL AND ANTIOXIDANT ACTIVITY
In animal models of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection, aloe vera was shown to reduce levels of TNF-α and leukocyte adhesion.9 The study authors noted that aloe vera exerts no known antibiotic effect on H. pylori, but rather, its beneficial properties come from its suppression of pro-inflammatory cytokines, TNF-α, IL-6, and leukocyte adhesion. Additional studies indicate that the complex array of polyphenols, indoles, phytosterols and other phytochemicals in aloe vera may have antibacterial effects on organisms beyond H. pylori, including strains of Shigella, Streptococcus, Enterobacter and Staphylococcus (including MRSA).The polysaccharides in aloe vera extract have been evaluated for antioxidant activity and have been demonstrated to be effective in scavenging hydrogen peroxide, nitric oxide, superoxide, DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl) radicals, and others. In a rat model of chemically-induced myocardial oxidative stress, prophylactic treatment with aloe vera polysaccharides protected against cardiotoxicity in adose-dependent manner, as evidenced by reduced levels of lactate dehydrogenase, creatine phosphokinase, cardiac catalase and superoxide dismutase, with elevated levels of glutathione.
