The gut microbiota-derived metabolite and fermented butyrate in Aloe vera gel as a protective factor against pediatric obesity and obesity-prone adults were discussed. The efficacy of butyrate as the central role of a healthy diet and gut microbiota function to achieve an optimal endogenous production was highlighted as an adjuvant.

In case reports we expressed children-growth supported with Aloe vera juice ingestion.
