Aloe Ferox by Ray Sahelian, M.D.
Antioxidant benefit of aloe ferox
Analysis of the aloe ferox leaf indicates this plant has many substances
that are of benefit. These include various
phenolic acids, polyphenols,
phytosterols, fatty acids, indoles, alkanes, pyrimidines, alkaloids, organic
acids, aldehydes, dicarboxylic acids, ketones, and alcohols. Due to the presence
of the antioxidant polyphenols, indoles, and alkaloids, the Aloe ferox leaf gel
shows antioxidant capacity as confirmed by ORAC and FRAP analyses. Both
analytical methods used show the non-flavonoid polyphenols to contribute to the
majority of the total polyphenol content.
