  • People drink aloe vera juice for digestive and skin health. Is it actually good for you? Experts discuss the possible benefits and downsides.

Aloe vera juice is touted for its potential benefits on skin and gut health, but experts advise caution and moderation in its consumption. Dietitian Rahaf Al Bochi explains that while aloe vera contains vitamins and minerals that can support skin health, there isn't strong scientific evidence to support its use for skin conditions like acne or psoriasis. Similarly, although aloe vera has been used traditionally for digestive issues, Dr. Rabia De Latour notes that there's limited research to back its effectiveness for gut health, and it can cause side effects like diarrhea and electrolyte imbalances. Both experts recommend consulting a healthcare provider before starting aloe vera juice, especially for those with underlying health conditions or those on medication, and suggest not exceeding 1-2 ounces daily to avoid potential adverse effects.
