Aloe vera could combat Alzheimer’s

A compound in aloe vera could combat Alzheimer’s disease.

Beta-sitosterol—a natural plant compound that’s in aloe vera—strongly interacts with two key enzymes involved in memory loss and cognitive decline.

Researchers from Hassan II University of Casablanca in Morocco cantered on two enzymes, acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BChE), which break down acetylcholine, a chemical messenger that helps nerve cells communicate, and which play a key part in the development of Alzheimer’s.

Aloe vera is most commonly used to treat skin conditions but drinking it as a juice could help combat Alzheimer’s and cognitive decline.
