NOW Foods Supplements, Aloe Vera Concentrate (40:1 Concentrate Contains Active Polysaccharides), 4-Ounce

I ordered this at the suggestion of my cousin whose herbalist recommended it to her to lessen her symptoms of acid reflux. We're a family of drinkers so, beer and wine certainly contribute to acid reflux and for me personally, being overweight, also contributes. The latter is a separate issue that I'm addressing but, along with cutting out tomatoes, and black beans, I've limited my beer consumption (grand IPA lover) and stopped adding gingerbeer to my cocktails (at least for the time being). However, I've been adding this concentrate to an 8 oz. glass of water and drinking nightly before bed and.............. I haven't experienced any symptoms of acid reflux since. None. It's only been two weeks so, I'm going to continue and see if this streak continues. I am doing other things that may contribute but, this Aloe Vera Concentrate is the defining change since my symptoms have ceased.

I use this concentrated Aloe for use in facial toners/mists. Works great as I only need to add a little for noticeably soft skin. I will continue to purchase.

I don’t know why I didn’t pay attention to the quantity. This is only 4oz. Enough for emergency use only. I needed about 24oz. This will do for a week or so.

Umm taste not so much

I bought this under a description of a 3-pack. What I received is a 1 pack (for the same price - which is higher than I'm willing to pay for just 1 bottle). It's a good product but I'm going back to ordering it from Swanson.

I read a study that ingesting aloe is great for your skin, so I decided to try that out. I am a big fan of George's aloe, but that's actually distillate meaning water from steam from evaporating aloe so not going to satisfy what I was looking for to emulate the study. (It is awesome for throat irritation of any kind though.) Anyway, this product: usually drinkable aloe is pretty unpleasant tasting but I'm not a big fan of added sweet (esp fake sweet) flavors so I thought this would be great but the claim that it has no unpleasant taste is 100% false, hilariously false. You can bury the taste in a smoothie but it's strong enough that it will still taste awful in nearly anything else you add it to, even juice. And that's even taking into account the teeny tiny serving size. Actually that's another thing: it's really hard to measure/pour out such a tiny amount. But! Idk, I think my skin looks/feels better? NOW always has high quality supplements so if you want aloe that doesn't weigh a ton, this is a good option.

Aloe Vera is good for a number of things, most notably coating and relaxing or healing the gut. As you already know if you've recently bought the stuff, the ready-to-drink juice is tremendously expensive, mostly I imagine because of the weight of the jugs and the shipping costs. This concentrate solves that problem. And the price is the best I've found on this one anywhere. Just add 1/8 teaspoon to some water, and voila! Instant Aloe Vera juice. Highly recommended for price and quality.

Im re- ordering 👍
