The Benefits of Drinking Aloe Vera Juice

Aloe vera is known for being one of the best ways to soothe a sunburn. In gel form, the gooey, sticky substance feels like a cool balm on your hot skin.

But that’s not aloe’s only superpower. “Aloe is an unassuming plant,” says registered dietitian Beth Czerwony, RD, LD. “It doesn’t really look like it’s all that special. But it can actually provide a lot of benefits.”

Believe it or not, drinking aloe vera juice is one of the best ways to reap health benefits from the plant.

Aloe Vera – Eine einzigartige Wirkstoffkomposition

Aloe Vera Gel ist auch heute ein gern genutzter Inhaltsstoff in Pflegeprodukten, wie Cremes und Masken. Das Vertrauen in die Wirksamkeit des Pflanzengels ist hoch, weshalb viele Frauen gezielt auf Aloe Vera in den Inhaltsstoffen ihrer Pflegeprodukte achten. Denn tatsächlich enthält Aloe Vera eine große Anzahl wertvoller Wirkstoffe.

Wie lässt sich die Wirkung der Aloe Vera erklären?

Aloe Vera galt bereits vor Jahrtausenden als Quelle für Gesundheit und Schönheit. Seit einigen Jahren hat sich auch die Forschung intensiv mit der Aloe Vera Barbadensis Miller beschäftigt. Dabei wurde sie auf Ihre Zusammensetzung hin erforscht und eine Vielzahl wertvoller Wirksubstanzen entdeckt. Insbesondere im Aloe Vera Gel, dass sich im Inneren der Pflanze befindet, wurde ein großes Spektrum wichtiger Inhaltsstoffe gefunden. Zu den Wirkstoffen der Aloe Vera gehören die Vitamine C und E, Acemannan, Aminozucker, Zink und Eisen, Fettsäuren und Tannine. 1

Dabei ist nicht die einzelne Substanz entscheidend, denn die Konzentration eines einzelnen Stoffes ist relativ gering. Die einzigartige Kombination aus mehr als 200 verschiedenen Stoffen macht die Pflanze so besonders wertvoll für uns Menschen. Erst durch das Miteinander aller Bestandteile erhält das Gel seine belebende und regenerierende Wirkung.

How to Make Aloe Vera Gel (from Fresh Aloe)

The kids and I recently took a homeschool trip out to the Boyce Thompson Arboretum in Superior, Arizona just a week ago. While we were waiting for the Prickly Pear tour to start, we were perusing all of the desert plants.

There was chaparral, prickly pear, ocotillo, aloe vera, and more. I told my kids that the aloe vera plant is a wonderful way to support healthy skin, and they seemed intrigued that you could harvest and squeeze the aloe vera out to use in various DIYs.

We brought home a few aloe vera plants, and just a few days later, we stopped in at the grocery store to pick up some flour for baking. One of my boys screamed with excitement when he found “aloe” leaves there in the produce section and so we brought a few home to use in soap (and a homeschool lesson!)

How much aloe vera juice should you drink?

As with anything delicious, be careful not to overdo it. Czerwony says a cup of aloe vera juice a day is a good limit. “Drinking more is not going to necessarily give you more benefits,” she says.

She also recommends drinking a smaller amount of aloe vera juice at first to see how your body tolerates it. “Anytime there’s a sudden change in your diet, your body is going to say, ‘What’s going on?’” Czerwony notes. “You want to start off slow because you really don’t know how the body is going to respond to aloe vera juice.”

Once you decide to start drinking aloe vera juice, you should also decide why you’re taking that step. “What’s the end result you’re hoping for? Some people want to be healthy, but what does that mean?” Czerwony asks. “Some people say, ‘Hey, it’s full of antioxidants. It has vitamin C, vitamin A, beta carotene and all kinds of good stuff. I want that in my diet.’ OK, that makes sense.”

Can you drink aloe vera juice every day?

Czerwony says aloe vera juice is safe to drink every day. But drinking too much of it can cause cramping or diarrhea. This in turn can bring on an electrolyte imbalance. “If you have some of those gastrointestinal symptoms, you should probably drink aloe vera juice every other day, or every third day,” she says.

If you’re introducing aloe vera juice into your diet, it’s a good idea to check in with yourself and track how you’re feeling once you start. “If you’re taking it every day for weeks, and you’re not seeing any benefit, then don’t do it,” Czerwony says. “Don’t put extra things in your body if it’s not going to benefit you.”
