Aloe vera has been praised for its incredible health benefits, from supporting digestion to boosting the immune system. But one of the most common questions people ask is: How much aloe should I drink daily? Let’s break it down and make it simple.
How to Start Drinking Aloe Vera?
If you’re new to aloe vera gel, you don’t need to rush into drinking large amounts. Here’s a good starting point:
- Standard recommendation: 4 oz (½ cup) or 100 ml per day – half in the morning half ant night.
- How much I drink: ½ mini bottle (about 165 ml).
- Some people drink a whole mini bottle per day (330ml) – and that’s completely fine! My family did that for a long time before settling on ½ mini per day.
If your health is compromised (e.g., recovering from an illness, chemotherapy, or a weakened immune system), it’s best to start slow:
- First week: 1 tablespoon twice a day
- Each following week: Double the amount until you reach the recommended daily intake.
Dr. Olejnik suggested this approach to my cousin after chemotherapy to avoid shocking the system. It’s understandable—when the immune system is weak, gentle introduction is key.
When Should You Drink Aloe Vera?
Timing matters! Here’s how to make the most of your aloe:
- With meals: Helps keep aloe in the digestive tract longer, improving gut health and supporting digestion.
- First thing in the morning on an empty stomach: If you’re dealing with constipation or obstruction, this is the best way to get things moving.
- When taking medicine or supplements: Aloe can enhance nutrient absorption, making sure your body gets the most out of them.
- Throughout the day: You can divide your daily intake into two portions, drinking it morning and evening.
Hydration Is Key!
Aloe vera has powerful detoxifying properties, so it’s crucial to drink plenty of water throughout the day. Think of it like getting a massage—your body releases toxins, and you need to flush them out.
Boosting Your Aloe Drink
For an extra health boost, try adding ARGI+ to your aloe vera gel. ARGI+ contains L-arginine and essential vitamins that support circulation, energy levels, and overall wellness. It pairs perfectly with aloe to give your body even more benefits.
Is Drinking One Mini Bottle a Day Too Much?
Not at all! 330ml per day (one mini bottle) is a great amount to fully experience the benefits of aloe vera. Many people stick with this long-term, and it’s a safe and effective daily habit.
New to Aloe Vera? Start Slow Before Starting a Detox Program
If you’re considering one of our detoxifying programs, it’s important to first get familiar with aloe vera. We recommend starting to drink aloe as outlined here for about a week or two before beginning your cleanse. This allows your body to adjust and ensures that you’re ready to experience the full benefits of the detox program.
Final Thoughts
Drinking aloe vera gel daily can be a game-changer for your health. Whether you’re starting small or going for a full mini bottle, consistency is key. Find the best routine that works for you, listen to your body, and enjoy the many benefits that come with it!
