    Aloe Juice

    Well about once a year ... I find in necessary to create a post about Aloe Juice. I personally almost find this stuff a must to have in your refrigerator when on the atkins diet.

    It helps out in so many ways. Helps with energy for those in early stages of induction, helps with constipation, helps the cardiovascular system as well as being a great lemonade substitute.

    I buy the brand from trader joes $7.99 / gallon. and I find that kind works best for me.

    Some people dont like the taste ... I didnt at first but now I love it.

    Start out drinking a shot glass a day ... best in the morning as it does give you a natural energy lift.

    I am up to about 4 oz or more a day. I love it.

    I had no idea. Never heard of drinking aloe juice. This is why I love this board. There is something new to learn every day.

      I could never get passed the taste. I mixed it in a protein shake a couple of times and even with all the other stuff in there I couldn't drink it. Can't imagine trying to get it down straight. (would aloe pills do the same thing)?

        You need to go with it straight ... do it in a shot glass at first ... trust me it grows on you after a while. The benefits far outweigh the taste anyway.

            Re: Aloe Juice

            Tom, I have a pitcher of aloe infused water in my frig all the time. You need a fresh aloe leaf---I buy that at an International grocery store or occasionally I can find it at my supermarket. You need to remove the out covering completely. That will leave the gel-like center. Cut it into chunks and put into a pitcher of water. Let it infuse at least 24 hours before drinking. When you've finished with the pitcher, refill it again with water. 1 aloe leaf is good for about 2-3 weeks.

              Ok, I'll take your word for it. If I kill over from the taste, I'll come hunt you down

                Okay, I have a nice big aloe plant. I assume I can use these leaves? This sounds pretty disgusting, but I am game!

                  What specifically are the benefits? I'm intrigued, I've never heard of this.

                    Tom,
                    Are there specific brands that taste better then others or do they all taste like puke?

                      your aloe plant at home should be fine.

                      Health benefits are everything from better digestion to general wellness.

                      Susan, I think the juice tastes like how old tennis shoes smell. That's why I stick to the leaf infusion.....

                      This has the directions to make the infusion.

                        Have you or anybody else seen it at any other store besides Trader Joe's? There's one down in Atlanta but that's about an hour drive for me. Maybe the next time I'm headed down that way I'll stop by, but I didn't know if there could be closer store.

                          There is distilled aloe juice with very little taste. I tried it ... it is more expensive and I found that the aloe juice from trader joes is cheaper and works best for me.

                            Aloe Vera Juice Benefits



                            Aloe vera is known primarily for its cooling and soothing properties, especially for treating burns, irritation, and various skin conditions. But this herb has other uses, which are not as popular but certainly no less beneficial. Aloe vera juice benefits include improved digestion, blood circulation, detoxification, and pain relief.
                            Aloe vera gel is obtained from the leaves of the aloe plant, and may be applied topically or added to drinks. Aloe vera juice contains various vitamins and minerals, including vitamin C, B-complex, iron, copper, calcium, potassium, and manganese. It is also safe to drink daily – in fact, experts recommend drinking at least two glasses every day to obtain maximum aloe vera juice benefits. Here are some of the most common aloe vera juice benefits:
                            Digestive aid
                            Aloe vera juice stimulates colonic irrigation, the process of loosening and washing out waste materials from the digestive system. These include food residues, toxins, and bacteria. These wastes can clog the intestinal lining and prevent nutrients from getting fully absorbed. Studies show that taking aloe vera juice regularly over several weeks can help break down residues and improve colonic irrigation. It also regulates the production of stomach acids, preventing digestive problems like ulcer, acid indigestion, colitis, and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).
                            Anti-inflammatory and pain relief
                            Aloe vera juice benefits people with rheumatoid arthritis analgesic and anti-inflammatory abilities. It helps relieve joint pain, reduce stiffness, and improves joint movement to prevent waste buildup. It also contains mucopolysaccharides, which are basic sugars essential in cell regeneration. This helps rebuild muscle tissues and disperse damaged cells. Its cooling ability also alleviates pain and inflammation.
                            Cancer and blood disease prevention
                            Another important element in aloe vera juice is acemannan, which is believed to increase the production of white blood cells. This helps the body fight bacteria and viruses, as well as prevent the growth of cancer cells. It is currently being studied for potential use against breast and ovarian cancer, leukemia, and diseases caused by low blood cell counts.
                            IMPORTANT: Aloe vera juice is considered a dietary supplement, so it is does not follow the same regulations as standard medicines. Some aloe vera products contain silica, starch, gluten, or other extenders that can hinder aloe vera juice benefits and even harm your health. To stay safe, buy only products that are GMP-compliant and avoid those that contain artificial additives, such as food colors and flavorings.
