Some of the main enzymes found in aloe Vera include bradykinase to support a healthy immune function, lipase to help digest fats, and amylase to help break down sugars and starches.Amino acids. Amino acids form the building blocks of protein and affect our brain. There are 22 total amino acids our bodies require. The good news is that 20 of them are found in the gel of the Aloe Vera plant. Some of the more well-known include leucine, lysine, tryptophan, threonin and isoleucine. Sugars. Not all sugar is bad for you.
