You’ve probably heard much about the benefits of drinking Aloe Vera Gel. This miracle plant has long been known for its amazing healing and detoxifying properties. It is also quite helpful in normalizing digestive functions 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 popular health drink to increase the body’s immunity against illness and disease.
So how much aloe vera should one take to get optimum benefits? It really depends on your reasons for taking it. If you don’t have any significant health issues, a small amount consisting of 2 fluid ounces or about 60 ml in the morning should be sufficient. For others who intend to boost their intake for specific reasons, they can take the same amount two to three times a day.
Younger people and the elderly generally need less, while a large 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’s best to start out with small amounts and increase your intake gradually, until you arrive at the amount that brings you the benefits you’re looking for.
Aloe Vera comes with a label on the bottle that indicates a serving size of 8 fl oz. Please take note that this amount is indicated for comparative purposes only, so you get an idea of how much of each nutritional component there is in an 8-oz serving. This is not the recommended daily amount.
Since aloe vera is a vegetable juice and not a medicine, it’s safe to try out 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
Remember, these are only recommendations based on general guidelines. 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 combines aloe gel with the taste of cranberries and apples for natural sweetness. Aloe Vera is also available in peach flavor with the Bits n’ Peaches aloe drink.
When is the best time to drink Aloe Vera?
Aloe vera gel is best taken on an empty stomach. We recommend you take it 10 minutes prior to your meal in the morning or before you retire at night.
When should I feel the benefits of Aloe Vera?
The benefits are actually person-dependent. We really can’t tell you when you will begin to feel the difference. Some may feel the benefits in a week or so, while others need a couple of months to notice some changes in the way they feel. It is really relative to other factors such as the amount of sleep and the level of exercise you get.
That is the reason why our Aloe Vera Gel and other products come with a 60-day money back guarantee. We want to assure your full satisfaction from our products.

We recommend you try it out for a full 60 days 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?
Yes there are, but mostly good ones! But since aloe vera has detox capabilities, some users feel mild detox symptoms such as nausea or a slight headache, a rumbling tummy or some temporary changes in their bowel movements for 2 to 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.

Is it safe to take Aloe Vera?
Aloe vera is a natural vegetable juice, so unlike drugs or medication it is safe. It has been used safely for thousands of years. If you have any particular concerns or questions, please get in touch with us so we can guide you.
How should I store the aloe vera drink?
As with most natural foods, once you’ve opened the bottle, it should be stored in the fridge. Of course, the natural pulp will settle during storage, so shake the bottle before use. (Please note that the ‘use by’ period is found on the lid and the bottling date is on the bottom of the container.)
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. Go to our Aloe Vera Drinks page for ordering.
