Scientists from the University of Miami’s School of Medicine determined that a constituent of Aloe vera reduces Alzheimer’s disease symptoms and increases cognition scores.
The researchers gave a supplement with aloe polymannose – also called acemannan – to Alzheimer’s patients over a one year period. They tested the subjects every three months. The researchers found that the cognitive improvements occurred in 46% of the patients taking the supplement.

The research also found that several cytokines and inflammatory factors were significantly decreased among the patients. This of course directly relates to a reduction in neuro-inflammation. Other research has determined that neuro-inflammation is symptomatic in Alzheimer’s disease.
The study was published in the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease. The researchers wrote:
“Our results showed improvements in both clinical and physiological outcomes for a disease that otherwise has no standard ameliorative remedy.”
The product tested is branded BiAloe, manufactured by Lorand Laboratories. The company announced shortly after the study was published that the study shows the promise of the supplement but should not be considered a treatment. Here is the statement of Lorand’s CEO, Dr. Santiago Rodriguez, as published in NewHope360.com:
