drinking aloe still good?

[Dewitt]

There was a trend a couple years back of drinking aloe vera for health benefits, I bought a half a gallon jug from the health food store, it was green and tasted pretty interesting, made me pee a lot when i drank it. thinking of going back for more but it isn't cheap so wanted your thoughts on if it was a good investment.

the problem is look at the ingredients. liquid aloe is almost never pure, they always add preservatives, sweeteners, etc to it.

you are going to have to go to a health food store to find it plain

Buy the simplest thing you can.

Really you just need to drink water. In the case of aloe, it depends on what else is in that product. If there are additives like sugars, etc. then it is not a good option. You will get most of the minerals, nutrients, and vitamins from a proper balanced diet.

Just be aware, aloe acts as a laxative.
