Aloe Vera Arborescens and Elevated Cholesterol

Aloe Vera Arborescens has been studied for its metabolic and regulatory properties, including a positive effect on cholesterol levels when used properly and consistently.
While it does not replace prescription medications for severe dyslipidemia, Aloe Vera Arborescens can be a useful natural adjunct in improving the lipid profile.


1. Reduction of LDL Cholesterol ("Bad Cholesterol")
Active compounds such as acemannan and phytosterols help to:

  • Reduce intestinal absorption of cholesterol

  • Improve hepatic fat metabolism

  • Increase the excretion of bile acids (rich in cholesterol)

Studies suggest modest but consistent reductions in LDL levels after regular use for 1 to 3 months.


2. Increase in HDL Cholesterol ("Good Cholesterol")
Aloe Vera Arborescens may help to:

  • Slightly raise HDL levels

  • Improve the LDL/HDL ratio, which is crucial for cardiovascular health


3. Antioxidant and Anti-Inflammatory Effect

  • Reduces the risk of LDL cholesterol oxidation, one of the key triggers of atherosclerosis

  • Also acts on chronic inflammatory processes associated with dyslipidemia


4. Improved Liver and Metabolic Function
Helps the liver — the main regulator of cholesterol — to:

  • Better process and eliminate excess fats

  • Produce bile more efficiently, promoting cholesterol excretion via the intestines
