Aloe Vera
Aloe barbadensis products used topically or orally. Evidence and safety depend heavily on whether the product is gel, latex, or whole-leaf extract; broad reviews do not support treating them as a single drug.
Pharmacokinetic model
A route-level PK model for aloe vera is being prepared from published data. Dosing references, studies, and documented interactions are below; the app catalog is updated as models are validated.

Aloe vera: Potential candidate in health management via modulation of biological activities
Narrative review surveyed broad mechanistic and clinical claims across dissimilar Aloe preparations. Much of the support was experimental and does not establish a single clinically effective product.
-
Evaluation of biological properties and clinical effectiveness of Aloe vera: A systematic review
Review combined oral and topical studies across multiple formulations and indications. Heterogeneity in product identity, route, and outcome limits condition-specific conclusions.
