How much aloe vera should I drink?
By now, you’ve probably heard a lot about Aloe Vera Gel benefits. This miracle plant has long been used for its amazing healing and detoxifying capabilities. It is also quite helpful in regulating the digestive process and controls blood sugar levels quite effectively. More than anything, aloe vera has been widely used for its anti-bacterial and anti-fungal capabilities. Nowadays, it has become a highly sought after health supplement to increase the body’s immunity against illness and disease.
So what is the right amount to drink for the best effects of aloe vera? It relies on your motives for using it. If you’re using it as a nutritional supplement, a small amount consisting of 2 fluid ounces or about 60 ml in the morning should be sufficient. For others who intend to attain more significant benefits, they can take the same amount two to three times a day.
The younger folks as well as the aged generally need lesser amounts, while a larger sized person may need more. After drinking it for a little while, you should be the best judge of how much you really need. So it is best to start out with small amounts and increase your intake gradually, until you arrive at the amount that brings you the full benefits.
A label on the bottle indicates a serving size of 8 fl oz. Please take note that this amount is indicated for comparative purposes only, so you get straight facts on the nutritional ingredients that come in an 8-oz serving. This is not the recommended daily amount.
Since aloe vera is a vegetable juice and not medicine, there’s no harm in gradually increasing amounts to determine your personal requirements. As a guideline for general daily maintenance however, here are the suggested portions:
12 years and over: Give the adult dosage (2 oz/60 ml)
6-11 years: Give half the adult dosage (1 oz/30 ml)
3-5 years: Give a quarter of the adult dosage (1/2 oz/15 ml)
1-2 years: Just give a teaspoon at a time
Take note that these are just general recommendations. Most often, size and weight are good indicators, so if you have a larger than average 5 year old, you may increase the dose to 30 ml instead of just 15.
Can I mix aloe vera with other liquid drinks?
Most people take some time to accustom their taste buds to aloe vera. So you can actually take aloe gel with pure fruit juice or honey for improved taste. Or you may opt to take Aloe Berry Nectar which gives you the taste of cranberries and apples for natural sweetness. You can also try Aloe Vera Bits n’ Peaches which augments natural aloe flavor with the taste of sun-dried peaches and peach concentrate.
When is the best time to drink Aloe Vera?
Aloe vera gel is best taken on an empty stomach. We recommend taking it 10 minutes before breakfast or right before bedtime.
When should I feel the benefits of Aloe Vera?
The benefits are actually person-dependent. So we really can’t pinpoint the exact time you will feel the positive effects of your aloe intake. Some report benefits in just a single week, while others need a couple of months to notice some changes in the way they feel. Sleep and exercise contribute much to experiencing the benefits, so if you’re getting the right amounts you should start feeling better sooner rather than later.
That is why our Aloe Vera Gel comes with a 60-day money back guarantee. We want to assure your full satisfaction from our products.
With our guarantee, you don’t have to worry about dissatisfaction or wasted purchases. A week or two is not enough to fully experience the benefits of aloe vera. We recommend you take advantage of the 2 month trial period to find out if you want to continue taking Aloe Vera or any other product for your supplementation needs.
Are there any side-effects of using aloe vera?
A few report experiencing mild headaches or nausea because of the detoxing functions of aloe vera. Others experience rumbling in the stomach or bowel changes for 2 or 3 days. A few report minor allergic reactions although these are not dramatic - maybe just a spot or two, but it is important that you are made aware of these possible occurrences.
If you’re not too confident about the results you’re getting, we are here to guide you through so you get optimum results. We have years of experience guiding our clients through their detoxification and healing processes, and we can walk you through your unique experience.
Is it safe to take Aloe Vera?
Yes it is. Aloe Vera is a natural vegetable juice, not a drug or medicine. It has been used safely for thousands of years. If you have specific concerns, please get in touch with us so we can guide you.
How should I store the aloe vera drink?
Like all other natural based substances, aloe vera gel should be stored in the fridge once opened. Natural pulp settling occurs during storage, so shake the bottle before use. (Please note that the date stamped on the bottom of the container is the bottling date. Expiration date is on the lid.)
I’ve been drinking Aloe Vera Gel for 16 years and absolutely love the way it makes me feel. I hope you will enjoy the benefits as I have.
