its disgusting stuff to drink but i have heard it is good health properties!

I know someone who sells it and i have used the aloe gels for skin and things, my elderly aunt tried the aloe drink and it made her feel better for a while.

Didn't know you could drink it I knew it was good for soothing skin and all that jazz, but to consume it internally sounds wrong!!

I've not tried the plain one - only the cranberry one and I have to say that it doesn't taste fantastic but drinking it every day, you'd get used to it!

But does it do the job when it's mixed with something else ? like putting milk in Green Tea , a complete waste.

The liquid drinkable Aloe Vera is quite expensive. Suppose to help IBS, but I dont think its been proved. Not much taste to it really. You can get Aloe Vera tablets and capsulles. The best way to use it though is in the Gel , in a tube. Marvellous for burns, including sunburn. Always keep the Gel in my medicine cupboard.
