Natural Weight Loss Supplements – Aloe Review

When I was a child my mother had to use aloe on my burns about every week due to my affinity to fireworks and setting things a blaze.  I was delighted to discover that Aloe is an effective natural weight loss supplement.  Aloe has great cleansing properties and that is one of the main reasons that it has been found to help you with weight loss.  It is an internal cleaner and produces a cathartic response in those that take it.  Aloe Vera, one of 400 species of aloe, is also reported to have medicinal properties.  Numerous major cosmetic companies are using aloe and marketing it as a “skin rejuvenator.”

Aloe’s healing properties have been trumpeted for some time; a cure for coughs, wounds, ulcers and even arthritis as well as immune system deficiencies.  And put down the pepto because Aloe also works as a laxative.

Based upon current research there is no conclusive evidence that supports Aloe as an effective natural weight loss supplement.  Despite this, Aloe is used in a plethora of weight loss solutions.  Aloe is an internal cleaner which means that it can produce some powerful bowel movements and it can also clean out fats that are in your system at the same time.  This may lead to minimal weight loss, but the real weight loss progress will have to be attained through other means.  

Not to mention that Aloe has been reported to have some wonderful effects including abdominal cramping, decreases in potassium, electrolyte disturbances, and of course, diarrhea.  Yea!  And be really careful in mixing Aloe with medications especially digoxin or any sort of diuretics.

I would suggest staying away from Aloe as a weight loss supplement and stick to using it for burns.  That is, unless you are constipated!  It could probably help you out then.  It will stabilize your body mass index by stimulating your metabolism in your liver and cause you to burn more energy.  It does contain protein and can be used as a healthy source of protein in your diet.  So it does have health benefits, just do not count on getting your bedroom body by consuming aloe.  If you have any more questions, go talk to the Doc!
