Aloe vera gel (Acemannan) is a complex polysaccharide found in the inner leaf gel of the aloe plant, which contains many nutritional qualities and is immensely responsible for all of the health benefits that the aloe vera plant provides.

Vitamin C is a virucide (antiviral). It can help to ease herpes-related symptoms naturally because it is a powerful immune booster. It also helps to prevent colds and the flu.

As a result, a vitamin C deficiency can lead to more frequent and severe herpes outbreaks, as well as increased susceptibility to colds and the flu. However, avoiding taking typical vitamin C supplements containing ascorbic acid (especially in high doses) is essential when living with the herpes virus.
