SCIENTIFIC STUDIES FROM LEADING HOSPITALS ENDORSE ATLANTIA'S ALOE PRODUCTS TO IMPROVE THE RECOVERY OF PEOPLE UNDER CANCER TREATMENT. THE RESULTS OF THESE INVESTIGATIONS WERE RECENTLY PRESENTED IN MADRID, AT AN EVENT WITH JOURNALISTS.
A recent study has demonstrated the effectiveness of the administration of Bialoe, Aloe vera juice from Atlantia, against inflammation of the esophagus. Which is one of the main side effects caused by radiotherapy or radiochemotherapy in lung, head and neck cancer patients.
It also improves inflammation of the mouth and throat (mucositis), another consequence of these aggressive treatments. Leading institutions such as the Clinic Hospital in Barcelona and the 12 de Octubre Hospital in Madrid have participated in the research.
Scientific studies of Hospitals
For the study, it was administered Bialoe to one group of patients and placebo to another group. They had to take 20 ml. fasting for ten weeks, before, during and after radiotherapy. “We wanted to see if the product reduced the intensity of mucositis, pain in general, pain when eating and how it affected the patients' quality of life,” explains Dr. Rafael D'Ambrosi, radiation oncologist at Hospital 12 de Octubre in Madrid.
The result confirmed that, although mucositis was similar in both groups, pain was less in patients who took Bialoe. “They ate better and therefore also lost less weight (2.5 kilos compared to the 7.5 kilos lost by patients in the placebo group).”
In general the quality of life was better and they recovered much faster. “Aloe vera has an active component that stimulates cell regeneration and causes the affected mucosa in the mouth, throat and esophagus to recover sooner,” details the specialist.
Another clinical test developed with Bialoe at the La Milagrosa Clinic in Madrid also confirmed these results.

HELP IN CANCER TREATMENTS
For its part, Regestimul, an Atlantia product formulated with Aloe vera in combination with rosehip oil, has also been demonstrated as a formula with excellent results for scar care in patients undergoing breast cancer surgery.
Helps in cancer treatments
A clinical trial carried out at the Durán i Reynals ICO Hospital in L'Hospital de Llobregat and clinical tests carried out at the HM Sanchinarro Hospital prove its usefulness.
Dr. Mercedes Herrero, gynecologist at Gine4 at the HM Sanchinarro Hospital, who uses this product in her clinical practice with breast cancer patients. It refutes the idea that the scar from this type of intervention remains the same forever.
"Skin cells, including those in the scar, are always being renewed. That is why it is very convenient to use a product like Regestimul, which regenerates the skin and promotes the formation of collagen. Caring for scars always allows them to become less and less noticeable," says the expert.
Finally, a clinical test carried out at the Teknon Clinic in Barcelona tested the usefulness of Superdefense cream and Atlantia's pure Aloe vera gel in breast cancer patients undergoing radiotherapy treatment.
Moderate toxic reactions to radiotherapy occur in 80-90% of these patients.
“The test showed how the hydration and elasticity of the skin improved, while erythema and hyperpigmentation remained stable or below usual values,” emphasizes Dr. Ignacio Toscas, radiation oncologist at the Teknon Clinic in Barcelona.
In cases where reconstruction is needed after a mastectomy, you must wait six months after radiation therapy. “And these products manage to keep the area hydrated and allow for improvement and for it to arrive in better condition for reconstruction,” he concludes.
