Regulation of pancreatic function

How Aloe Vera Arborescens Supports the Pancreas

Aloe Vera Arborescens has been studied and used as a natural adjunct in regulating pancreatic function, particularly for its potential to support glucose metabolism, reduce inflammation, and protect pancreatic tissues.

1. Improved Insulin Sensitivity

Aloe Vera Arborescens has been shown to:

• Increase glucose uptake by cells (mild insulin-mimetic effect)

• Improve tissue response to insulin

This directly supports both exocrine and endocrine pancreatic functions, especially in blood sugar regulation (helpful in prediabetes and type 2 diabetes).

2. Anti-inflammatory Action on the Pancreas

The pancreas is highly sensitive to low-grade chronic inflammation, especially in the context of:

• Diabetes

• Poor diet

• Oxidative stress

Aloe Arborescens contains:

• Aloin (in low doses): with soothing and anti-inflammatory effects

• Acemannan and polysaccharides: known for tissue regeneration

3. Antioxidant and Cellular Protection

It helps protect pancreatic beta cells from oxidative stress, which contributes to the deterioration of insulin function.

Also stimulates the body’s own antioxidant defense systems, such as:

• Glutathione

• Superoxide dismutase (SOD)

• Catalase

4. Digestive and Liver Support (Exocrine Function)

The pancreas also produces digestive enzymes. Aloe:

• Soothes and balances the gastrointestinal tract, easing the load on the pancreas

• Gently stimulates bile and pancreatic juice production, improving the digestion of fats and proteins
