Can Aloe Vera Juice and Apple Cider Vinegar Help With Digestion?
Aloe vera juice and apple cider vinegar may offer modest benefits for gut health, blood sugar control, and weight management, but these effects are inconsistent and come with potential risks. Evidence is limited, and safer alternatives like fiber-rich diets and regular exercise are advisable.
1. It May Support Healthy Blood Sugar Levels: Research suggests that aloe may help lower fasting blood sugar and improve cholesterol in people with prediabetes or type 2 diabetes.
According to Yi Min Teo, MS, RD, CNSC, however, many of the benefits are based on animal studies and small human trials. Aloe vera juice isn’t the same as consuming the plant itself because the juicing process removes fiber, the part that might help control blood sugar.
