1. How much should I drink?
This depends on your reasons for drinking Aloe Vera. As with other nutritional supplements, some people take a small amount each morning (60ml) to maintain their general well being. Other people boost their intake for specific reasons, when they might drink up to 180ml or more a day. The average is 120ml per day. Some people such as the elderly need less, whereas those who are larger framed need more.
2. Can I mix it with anything else?
Yes, if you really don‘t like the taste, then try mixing it with pure fruit juice, cordial or honey. Pomesteen Power gives it an amazing taste!
3. When is the best time to drink Aloe?
We would recommend you take Aloe Vera on an empty stomach to get the maximum benefit, and then wait 20 minutes before having anything else. First thing in the morning is good, or right before bed.
4. When should I feel some benefits?
Every body is different – different diets, lifestyles, sleep patterns, levels of exercise, etc. A few people feel benefit in 2-4 weeks, but most take a little longer. We would encourage you to take Aloe Vera for a trial period of at least 2 months. Taken internally, Forever’s Aloe Vera drinks provide the essential building blocks for the body to cleanse, restore, protect and balance itself. For this reason, once the body has been cleansed and restored itself to a state of well-being, it is important to take a daily maintenance dosage in order for the body to continue to cleanse and balance itself on an ongoing basis. Unfortunately, many people who receive benefits then stop taking it and, when their bodies return to the previous state of toxicity and imbalance, they say that Aloe Vera did not ‘cure’ their condition. It is essential to realise that unless you significantly change your life-style, diet and exercise regime, etc, you must continue to supplement your systems with Aloe Vera for the needed additional vitamins, minerals, enzymes and amino acids that will assist in maintaining your balanced state of well-being.
5. How should I store the drink?
As with most natural foods, once you‘ve opened the bottle, it should be stored in the refrigerator with the lid tightly closed. Of course during storage, the natural pulp will settle, so you should always shake the bottle before use. (Please note that the date stamped on the bottom of the container is the bottling date. The ‘use by’ date is on the lid)
6. Are there any side-effects?
There are occasionally some mild detox symptoms the first time people start drinking Aloe Vera. Some people have noticed a slight headache, a rumbly tummy or a change in their bowel movements for 2 or 3 days, but these experiences have been known to be temporary. They are nothing particularly dramatic, but we want you to be aware of them in case you happen to experience anything like this.
