A new UC Davis study suggests Aloe vera to be a powerful complement to other supplements, enhancing their absorbance and effects. The study suggests that Aloe vera promotes a significant increase in the antioxidant potential of vitamin C and B12, with ORAC ratings particularly high after 4 hours and remaining high even after 24 hours.
Dr. Sridevi Devaraj, Associate Professor at UC Davis, Laboratory for Atherosclerosis and Metabolic Research commented, "It's clear that consuming Aloe vera along with vitamin supplements would be beneficial expecially among the population for whom B12 deficiency is an issue, such as the elderly."

Love this blog!!!
Isn't Aloe vera part of the mucin complex included in BioTears? If not, it probably should be given that mucins are secreted on mucosal surfaces and saliva.
What is an ORAC rating?
ORAC stands for oxygen radical absorbance capacity, which is the antioxidant capacity measurement of different foods.
In 2004, the Department of Agriculture published a list of ORAC values for about 100 foods commonly consumed the the US population.
The foods with the highest ORAC values are tart cherries, prunes, raisins, blueberries, kale, spinach, chcoa and lots of other spices.
Dear BioTears user,
So glad you like our blog.
You are absolutely right. Aloe vera is included in the BioTears mucin complex.
In your opinion, how much Aloe Vera should be consumed with my daily vitamin intake and should it be included everyday?
Is BioTears the only product that has Aloe Vera?
Hi Gerald,
BioTears is the only product in our line that includes Aloe vera.
Sandi,
It all depends on the form of Aloe vera you are interested in. Most companies that sell Aloe vera in capsule form recommend taking a capsule before every mean if you have digestive problems.
The sellers of Aloe vera in concentrated juice form recommend a tablespoon in a glass of water before each meal to address digestive problems.
My personal opinion is that it's probably not necessary on a daily basis for a healthy person without digestive or other health problems.
However, that said, most women in this country are on some kind of crazy diet most of the time. This means they are usually deficient in a number of micronutrients, so if you are dieting a small amount of Aloe vera to enhance vitamin and mineral absorption before each meal certainly makes sense to me.
And given the results of the new UC Davis study, it makes sense for elderly people to take a bit of Aloe vera before each meaal. As we age, most of us lose some of our ability to produce the glycoprotein intrinsic factor required to absorb Vitamin B12.
Hi,
I came across your blog about Aloe Vera
and have something to offer.
My name is Yulia Berry and I just released my new ebook
"Aloe - Your Miracle Doctor".
While traditional medicine has been using aloe as a part of some
drugs or cosmetic products for decades, folk medicine has been
using aloe for a few thousand years and has built up an impressive
collection of home remedies for many ailments.
"Aloe - Your Miracle Doctor" is a unique step-by-step guide for
over 150 home and beauty remedies using an aloe plant. I did a lot
of research on aloe's amazing healing abilities and interviewed a
lot of people who had great success with it.
As a result, I came up with a manual for making aloe home remedies
for over 80 disorders. I am still working on getting more remedies
because I constantly get more information about miraculous cures.
I will keep my customers updated with the new information and home
remedies.
In this book I put together all kinds of information about aloe people
would like to know. Here are some of the important subjects I cover
in my report:
- The history of Aloe's healing abilities and some proven impressive
scientific facts
- How to take good care of your Aloe plant and what the signs of
poor care are

very-easy-to-read table
- An explanation and step-by-step instructions on a biogenic
stimulation method when preparing aloe gel at home
- 130+ home remedies for 80+ disorders
