How To Make Aloe Vera Juice

Aloe Vera Juice

Aloe Vera juice has been used to treat a lot of diseases, and this is what has led to its popularity. This wonder drug is sold in the form of nectar, gel or capsules.

The good news is that you do not need to spend your money on aloe vera pills. You can take the juice in its pure and natural form, fresh from the garden.

Fresh aloe juice is the most pure and natural way to benefit from this herbal weed. The advantage of fresh aloe juice is that it supplies you with all the nutrients contained in the herb.

Since it is in the form of liquid, it does not go through many stages before it is absorbed into your blood. Your body absorbs it instantly.

Another advantage of taking this juice is that you can blend it with other juices to improve its taste. You can also add sweeteners to make it friendly to your child.

Above all, you can plant your own aloe vera plants at your backyard and juice them whenever you want.

Nutritional Value of Aloe Vera Juice

Aloes are easy to juice since they are highly succulent. You can collect as much juice as you need by just breaking the leaf.

One leaf of aloe vera can give you a lot of juice because you cut only a small portion of the leaf for juicing and leave the rest to grow in the garden.

However, only the inner gel has medicinal properties and obtaining it may thus require a professional juicer.

Completely safe and versatile, aloe vera juice stems from the fact that it naturally contains many different nutrients:

Power of Aloe Vera

The power of aloe is mainly derived from the polysaccharides and amino acids it contains.

Polysaccharides can be broken easily, and so you need to be careful when blending with other juices.

Four ounces of this juice daily is enough to supply you with all the health benefits of this herb.

However, the RDA of this juice depends on various factors.

Children below 5 years should not exceed 3 tsp of this juice, while pregnant women are advised to limit their daily intake to 2 tsp.
