Abstract
Many of the health benefits associated with Aloe vera have been attributed to the polysaccharides contained in the gel ofthe leaves. These biological activities include effects promotion of wound healing, antifungal activity, hypoglycemic orantidiabetic effects, antiinflammatory, anticancer, immunomodulatory and gastroprotective properties. While the knownbiological activities of A. vera will be briefly discussed, aim of this review is to highlight recently discovered effects andapplications of the leaf gel. These effects include the potential of whole leaf or inner fillet gel liquid preparations of A.vera toenhance the intestinal absorption and bioavailability of co-administered compounds as well as enhancement of skin permeation.In addition, important pharmaceutical applications such as the use of the dried A. vera gel powder as an excipient in sustainedrelease pharmaceutical dosage forms will be outlined.
