Abstract

Background: Chronic hyperlipidemia is a trigger factor for serious diseases, one of which is atherosclerosis. Lipid profile disorders in the form of increased total cholesterol, LDL and decreased HDL levels are believed to be one of the major triggering factors for cardiovascular disease. One of the treatments for hyperlipidemia in addition to using conventional therapy can also be with traditional treatments such as aloe vera (Aloe Vera L). The content of glucomannan in aloe vera is believed to act as a hypolipidemic agent. Method: This paper uses a literature study or literature review of research articles. Search articles through Google Scholar and Pubmed with keywords used hypolipidemia and Aloe vera. The criteria for the articles used were published in the last 5 years, namely from 2016 to 2021.

Results: Based on the literature search, there were 8 studies related to the effect of aloe vera on lipid profile levels, of which there were 7 studies on experimental animals and 1 study on humans. Aloe vera used varies from extract form, gel and powder form in capsules. Conclusion: Based on the literature study, it was found that aloe vera is an herbal plant that has a fairly effective hypolipidemic effect.
