The mucin (protein) in aloe vera is based on polysaccharides such as arboran A Baloe mannanaloetin, etc. Mucus substances are important ingredients for preventing cell aging and treating chronic allergies. Mucin exists in the muscles and gastrointestinal mucosa of the human body, making the tissues elastic. If there is insufficient mucin, the muscles and mucosa will lose their elasticity and become stiff and aged. If the cells that make up the human body lack mucin, the cells will gradually weaken and lose the ability to defend against bacteria and viruses. In addition, mucin has the effect of strengthening the body and sperm.
