Supports healthy bowel movement and a natural anti-inflammatory response.

What It Does

Aloe ferox is a plant-based laxative traditionally used to support regular digestion. It helps stimulate bowel movement, reduce digestive sluggishness, and promote gentle elimination—while also offering antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits.


How It Works

Aloe ferox contains naturally occurring compounds that help:

  • Increase intestinal motility

  • Boost fecal volume, promoting smoother elimination

  • Support a normal inflammatory response

  • Deliver antioxidant protection

Recent studies also show Aloe ferox may help support:

  • Normal LDL cholesterol levels

  • Healthy blood pressure

  • Body weight regulation


Additional Research

Beyond its digestive benefits, Aloe ferox has gained attention for its potential to enhance drug absorption and serve as a natural ingredient in both cosmetics and functional foods.

A 2010 animal study and a 2020 human study both demonstrated its ability to support normal bowel movement and metabolic markers, without the harsh effects of synthetic laxatives.
