4. Slows the Growth of Cancer
One study published in Immunopharmacology in 1995, demonstrated that aloe vera may also have anti-tumor potential. This is because of the large amounts of nitric oxide which are produced by macrophages.
Aloe vera is also an antioxidant, meaning that it can help to reduce the damage caused to the cells by free radicals. As this is one of the cause of cancerous growths, that is one more method through which aloe vera may be anti-carcinogenic.
