Morinaga Milk Industry has announced the results of its latest research on aloe barbadensis leaf. The company has conducted a trial that covers 70 people who are diagnosed as borderline diabetic. The trial results indicate that a regular intake of aloe barbadensis gel has helped reduce the levels of fasting blood sugar and glycated hemoglobin. Accordingly, the company concludes that aloe barbadensis leaf may play a role in preventing and improving diabetes. Details of the research will be presented at the 40th Annual Meeting of the Japan Society of Adult Diseases to be held in January 2006.
