Every month in V Magazine, Dr. Yibing Wang — Director of Research and Development at Vemma™ — discusses a specific topic regarding Vemma and its ingredients, health-promoting properties and benefits. Let’s take a look at Aloe Vera: In September 2002, breakthrough research conducted by University of Scranton scientists on the use of aloe vera was presented at the International Aloe Science Council (IASC) annual conference. Lead researcher, Dr. Joe A. Vinson, described the research study demonstrating increased bioavailability of vitamins C and E when taken in combination with aloe vera. The study was a human clinical trial whereby test subjects were given doses of vitamin C or E with or without aloe. Blood samples were taken at the start of the trial, before the administration of the vitamins, and periodically for 24 hours after the administration of blinded test samples. The blood plasma was then analyzed to determine the level of concentration of each vitamin absorbed. The results of the trial show that aloe vera improves the absorption of both vitamin C and E. The absorption is slower and the vitamins last longer in the blood plasma with aloe vera. Researchers concluded that the intake of aloe vera should be considered as a way to complement vitamins C and E. More research in this area will help to confirm these findings.
