Uses for Aloe Vera Juice

Most people know of the benefits of using aloe vera gel on the skin to soothe burns, cuts and scrapes. Drinking aloe vera juice also has benefits. It is another way of making your skin heal but has much more to offer than aiding in softer skin.

  1. Nutrients

    • Aloe vera juice contains amino acids; minerals including magnesium, zinc and germanium; and vitamins B12, C, A and E.

    Weight Loss

    • Drinking aloe vera juice can aid in weight loss because it stimulates the metabolic rate in liver cells, which makes you burn more energy.

    Digestion

    • Aloe vera juice aids in digestion and helps to cure stomach and intestinal problems by cleansing your colon.

    Circulation

    • Aloe vera juice improves circulation by dilating the capillaries and supporting cell growth. This can also aid in reducing blood pressure.

    Immune System

    • Aloe vera juice also aids in boosting your immune system by detoxing your body and defending your body against bacteria.

    Side Effects

    • You should avoid aloe vera juice if you are pregnant or breastfeeding; have kidney or heart disease; or are allergic to garlic or onions. If you consume too much aloe vera juice it may cause intestinal cramping, which can be relieved by drinking less.
