Aloe vera is a potential carcinogen. Meaning its use can cause cancers in long term.
Always consult your physician or doctor (not #ayush) for the correct information regarding what supplements products are safe for you.

Aloe vera can cause toxicity to reproductive organs
It is proven in mutiple animal studies.
Inform your doctor if you are using aloe products

The toxic component (one of the knowns, many unknown) is anthraquinones.
What would be the anthraquinones concentration in over the counter products and multi level marketing products? Who regulates this?

Initial studies in Aloe vera related liver injury. It started on Germany followed by many reports, studies and series. More cases are now being reported. #Wellness is crazy #fake.

More components that are toxic.
Marketing companies don't mention all of this. They need to #fraud the public through #quackery advertising. That's how they survive. Like roaches. #pseudoscience

There is no guarantee that you can remove all of toxic agents from aloe for human use. Because you dont know all toxic components yet.
Pyramid schemes dont know these health damaging information.
Stay safe. Be curious.
Think for URself.
Don't let ads decide UR health.
