The Claim
In vitro fermentation of human fecal samples with Aloe gel polysaccharide (AGP) is associated with increased abundance of Faecalibacterium prausnitzii, Parabacteroides distasonis, and Bacteroides uniformis.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
When human fecal samples are fermented with Aloe gel polysaccharide in a laboratory setting, the levels of Faecalibacterium prausnitzii, Parabacteroides distasonis, and Bacteroides uniformis increase.
See the scientific wording
In vitro fermentation of human fecal samples with Aloe gel polysaccharide (AGP) is associated with increased abundance of Faecalibacterium prausnitzii, Parabacteroides distasonis, and Bacteroides uniformis, suggesting a potential selective enrichment of specific bacterial taxa.
A special sugar from aloe vera reaches the gut and gets broken down by one type of good bacteria, which then produces acids that change the gut environment. These acids kill off harmful bacteria and let three other good bacteria grow more because they thrive in this new environment.
What the research says
1 studyScientists added a substance from aloe vera to gut bacteria from healthy people in a lab, and found that three good bacteria grew more — exactly what the claim says.
