Aloe Vera Juice Drink — “A Wonderful Drink For Good Health!”
That’s a doctor’s description of Forever’s bestseller Aloe Vera Juice pictured here — their new Aloe Vera Gel.
Until recently (and for around 40 years!) it looked like this:
I’m just mentioning it so that for clarity’s sake we know it’s the same Forever aloe drink, with even purer format and different packaging. And after all these years, this Aloe Vera Gel is still a Forever Living bestseller!
Why is that?
I’ll venture a guess that it is not because of its taste, although the flavour becomes more and more palatable over time. At least, that’s been my finding — and I’ve been drinking the gel daily for over 20 years.
Don’t get me wrong — I’m not suggesting it takes that long to adjust to the taste! Quite early on, as I felt better and better from taking it, I saw Forever’s Aloe Vera Gel as my very welcome morning cocktail.
So why did I feel better?
Let’s refer back to Dr Peter Atherton, MB ChB, DObst, RCOG, FRCGP, who described it as a wonderful drink for good health and look at his Top 10 Reasons for drinking it.
In these worrying days of a global pandemic, I find my attention especially drawn to reason № 8.
Here they all are (the video below expands on these reasons):
In his excellent book The Essential Aloe Vera, Dr Atherton gives this quote from Mahatma Gandhi:
“You ask me what were the secret forces which sustained me during my long fasts. Well, it was my unshakable faith in God, my simple and frugal life style, and the Aloe whose benefits I discovered upon my arrival in South Africa at the end of the 19th century.”
He also lists how the ‘true’ Aloe (the Aloe Barbadensis Miller that Forever Living grow and harvest on their extensive plantations) has over the years, in various parts of the world, been described very effectively in accordance with people’s discoveries.
Here are some examples:
Medicine plant, Heaven’s Blessing, Burn Plant, Silent Healer, Wand of Heaven, First Aid Plant, Wonder Plant, Potted Physician and Plant of Life.
They rather speak for themselves, don’t they?
Back to Forever’s Aloe Vera Juice Drink(s)
Yes, over the years there have been additions to the original Aloe Vera Gel! So those who found the taste of the pure Aloe Gel too challenging soon had other options.
Find them all here in my International Online Store
Find out more about them all below:
Forever Aloe Berry Nectar (Aloe Vera Gel with refreshing cranberry & apple juice)
Pure aloe infused with delicious cranberry and apple. Aloe is great for skin and the immune system and is an ideal digestive aid, while added fruit gives this drink a sweet and tangy flavour. Added antioxidant vitamin C also contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress. These amazing ingredients, plus 90.7% pure inner leaf aloe vera gel, makes Forever Aloe Berry Nectar a powerful choice.
Forever Aloe Peaches (Aloe Vera Gel with a hint of peach)
Forever Aloe Peaches is a smooth and fresh drink that’s enhanced 84.3% pure aloe vera gel with natural peach purée and vitamin C. Like all Forever’s aloe gels, this refreshing and fruity alternative is a brilliant digestive aid that helps support immune function and skin health.
Forever Freedom (Aloe Vera Gel with added glucosamine, chondroitin & MSM)
Wake up and get your day moving with this refreshing orange-flavoured aloe gel. Forever Freedom contains all the benefits of Forever’s plain gel but with added glucosamine, chondroitin and MSM — popular with those who lead an active lifestyle.
Forever’s Aloe Vera Juice Drinks are very versatile and the first 3 can be used for the whole family. Many of us find, for example, that iced lollies made from Aloe Peaches go down a real treat with even the youngest family member!
Animals benefit from Aloe Vera
Our pets can benefit too. Forever doesn’t test its products on animals but uses them, drinks included, for their well-being.
Veterinary Surgeon David Urch BSc MA VetMB MRCVS, says of his incredible book Aloe Vera Nature’s Gift (Aloe Vera In Veterinary Practice):
“This book provides animal owners with practical advice on how to use Aloe Vera to treat a wide range of animal ailments. Over 200 conditions that affect the cat, dog and horse are discussed, as well as some of the common diseases of cattle, sheep, goats, children’s pets, snakes, lizards, fish and birds.”
There — that’s pretty comprehensive, don’t you think?
Years ago on the strength of my Bearded Collie’s experiences (and benefits) from drinking the pure aloe vera gel, I was commissioned to write a feature for a pet’s magazine and since then my gifts of products have been warmly welcomed by (among others) the Battersea Dogs’ & Cats’ Home.
The video below this picture will show you Sam, my Beardie, in action and give you loads of animals and aloe info (including pics of some Battersea residents with their favorite products!)
Advent of Aloe Vera Juice Drink Tripaks
Quite recently Forever introduced the concept of Tripaks for their Aloe Vera Gel, Forever Aloe Berry Nectar and Forever Aloe Peaches.
This is a convenient way to buy drinks as it brings you 3 litres (or 6, or 9 etc) in a single delivery — ideal, when the recommended daily dose is 60–120 mls!
Here they are:
That isn’t quite all that Forever have been doing lately to add to their variety of Aloe Vera Juice Drinks.
Even more recently than the Tripak, they have introduced the fab Baby Gel:
Do you agree that in terms of versatility it speaks for itself? I’m very far from alone in loving it, plus the fact that it comes in a box of 12, so that when you have one in your fridge, hand, or rucksack, you still have some in your cupboard!
I hope you’ve enjoyed reading about Forever’s Aloe Vera Juice Drinks. If you have, you might like to watch this drinks video. We’d also love to see you here on Facebook, where there’s this option on offer:
