Aloe Vera Drinking Gel Traditional with Honey – mild taste, vitamin C for less tiredness

Did you give up on aloe vera because of the taste?

It is the most common reason people stop. Pure aloe vera gel has a sharp, slightly bitter flavour, and a habit that tastes unpleasant rarely lasts beyond the first week. Traditional with Honey was made for exactly that problem. The blossom honey softens the flavour so that a capful before breakfast feels like a small pleasure rather than a chore, and that is what turns a good intention into a routine.

There is a practical benefit too. The recommended 3 × 30 ml a day provides 60 mg of vitamin C, three quarters of the daily reference intake. Vitamin C contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue, to the normal function of the immune system, to normal energy-yielding metabolism and to the normal functioning of the nervous system. It also increases iron absorption, which is handy if you drink your gel just before a meal.

This is LR’s original aloe vera drink and still the one most people start with. If you are new to aloe, or you have tried a pure gel and found it hard going, begin here.

How do you know it’s good quality?

What’s in the bottle?

Ingredient	Amount	What it does for you
Aloe vera gel (Aloe barbadensis Miller, from Mexico)	90% (83.83 g per daily 90 ml)	It is the pure inner leaf fillet, without the green outer leaf.
Blossom honey	9%	Its mild, natural sweetness makes the habit easy to keep.
Vitamin C	60 mg per 90 ml (75% of the reference intake)	It contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue and to the normal function of the immune system.
Citric acid, xanthan gum, potassium sorbate	small amounts	They keep it fresh and smooth and give it a longer shelf life.

How will it fit into your day?

• Have 30 ml three times a day, which is three capfuls, ideally before meals.
• Neat or mixed: stir it into a glass of orange juice or a morning smoothie if you prefer it even milder.
• Make it automatic: keep the bottle at the front of the fridge next to the milk, and pour a capful when you put the kettle on.
• Shake before use and keep the bottle in the fridge once opened, then use it up promptly.
• Do not exceed the recommended 90 ml a day. Keep out of reach of young children.
• The colour can change over time. According to LR this is normal for a natural product and does not affect quality.

Pack	Lasts at 90 ml a day	Price	Per day, roughly
1 bottle (1 litre)	about 11 days	£40.00	£3.64
Set of 3 (3 litres)	about 33 days	£110.99	£3.36

Worth knowing: if you plan to drink it for a full month, the set of three works out cheaper per day.

Which drinking gel is right for you?

All five LR aloe vera drinking gels carry the SGS INSTITUT FRESENIUS quality seal, are IASC certified and are listed on the Kölner Liste®. The difference is in the taste and in what each one adds:

Drinking gel	Choose it if…	Aloe content	Per 90 ml	Price (1 litre)
Traditional with Honey	plain aloe tastes too bitter for you, or you are just starting out	90%, with 9% blossom honey	60 mg vitamin C (75%)	£40.00

Is there anything to watch out for?

• Babies under 12 months should not have it: the gel contains honey, which is not suitable for infants in their first year.
• Are you keeping an eye on sugar? Honey adds natural sugars. The Peach gel has no added sugar.
• Are you pregnant, breastfeeding or taking medication? Have a word with your GP or pharmacist before you start.

What do people ask about it?

Does the honey version still taste of aloe?

It does a little, but much more gently. Most people describe it as mild and lightly sweet. Mixed with orange juice you will hardly notice the aloe at all.

How much should I drink a day?

LR recommends 30 ml three times a day, so 90 ml in total. Please don’t go over that amount.

How long does one bottle last?

At 90 ml a day a one-litre bottle lasts about 11 days. The set of three covers roughly a month.

Is it independently tested?

Yes. It carries the SGS INSTITUT FRESENIUS quality seal, is certified by the International Aloe Science Council (IASC) and is listed on the Kölner Liste®.

Does it contain aloin?

Aloin is the bitter substance found mainly in the yellow sap just under the green leaf skin. According to LR, only the inner leaf fillet is used.

Is the honey gel a good choice when I feel run-down?

Its vitamin C contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue and to the normal function of the immune system. If you have felt worn out for weeks, it is worth talking to your GP.
