Aloe vera have an anti-inflammatory effect and support lipid and carbohydrate metabolism, helping to maintain normal sugar and cholesterol levels in blood and normal body weight, it accelerates the regeneration of the damaged skin, Aloe contains antioxidants, bioactive components and the health-promoting effects of A. vera, Antioxidants are substances that prevent oxidation of other compounds, Food phenolics render antioxidant activity mainly due to their role as reducing agents, hydrogen donors, and singlet oxygen quenchers, ability to scavenge free radicals, including hydroxyl, peroxyl, and superoxide radicals and can form complexes with catalytic metal ions rendering them inactive, flavonoids can inhibit lipoxygenase and cyclooxygenase enzymes, responsible for development of oxidative rancidity in foods, Aloe contains a large amount of bioactive compounds, such as flavonoids, terpenoids, lectins , fatty acids, anthraquinones , mono- and polysaccharides (pectins, hemicelluloses, glucomannan), tannins, sterols (campesterol, ?-sitosterol), enzymes, salicylic acid, minerals (calcium, chromium, copper, iron, magnesium, manganese, potassium, phosphorus, sodium and zinc) and vitamins (A, C, E, ?-carotene, B1, B2, B3, B6, choline, B12, folic acid), Glycoproteins are natural polymers that combine proteins, carbohydrates and 16 amino acids, Lectins (aloctin A and B) are a group of glycoproteins, which is characteristic of aloe, activation of cell blastic transformation, where the cell transformation from phase G0 (resting phase) to phase G1 (interphase) or synthesis is induced. Mitotic divisions are stimulated in consecutive processes
