Additionally, they inhibit the release of other markers of inflammation, such as TNF-α or IL-1B. Such properties are particularly important for limiting inflammatory processes in autoimmune diseases.

Aloe supports balancing the blood sugar levels. Some compounds isolated from its leaves optimize the secretion of insulin, and in addition sensitize the tissue to its effects. In studies conducted with the participation of diabetics, it was proven that after two months of regular supplementation with aloe leaf pulp formulations in all patients there was an improvement in glucose concentration in the serum and a reduction in HbA1c level was noted.
