Short Answer: it all depends on your health goals
Long Answer Background
We know aloe vera gel increases the absorption of fat and water-soluble vitamins according to the IASC. In fact, vitamin c and e absorption rates increase by 200% with a natural time release effect for 48 hours when taken with aloe vera. Click here to see the data at the National Library of Medicine. On the other hand, when drinking aloe vera gel on an empty stomach, nothing is competing or inhibiting healing.
When to drink raw aloe vera gel?
When to drink your pure aloe vera gel will all depend on your health goals. If pain relief is your goal, then drink on an empty stomach may be best. Examples of acute episodes include gastric ulcers, acid reflux, diverticulitis flare up or inflamed and leaky gut. An empty stomach allows for quick absorption which decreases inflammation often giving noticeable results.
Drink pure aloe vera gel with your supplements if your goal is to replenish your body. Drinking with a smoothie or food for general health is also a option. Several customers give it to their pets with and without food.
Personally we drink our aloe vera gel on an empty stomach in the morning and before bed. Times we feel our bodies need something specific like magnesium or vitamin c we drink aloe vera gel with vitamins. On occasion we add our aloe vera drink to a vegetable or fruit smoothie.
Still unsure when to drink your aloe vera gel? Feel free to experiment. If you are taking prescription or over the counter medications consult your health care provider before orally ingesting aloe vera gel.
