From the Manufacturer:
For more than 6,000 years, aloe ("the medicine plant") has been known for providing soothing relief for skin irritations. But more recent studies have shown that this plant may provide additional health benefits when taken orally, including promoting healthy cholesterol, blood sugar, immunity, gastrointestinal/digestive health, and weight management.
Primarily, aloe is known for its relief of topical wounds, including burns, sunburns, and cuts. This effect may stem from the fact that aloe is believed to promote oxygen availability to the skin and may help with tissue strength and formation. Aloe may also decrease swelling and redness, reduce inflammation, and accelerate wound healing, as well as assist in maintaining skin's supple quality.
