I am just wondering, is it that great for you to drink as I seem to hear from a lot of people? :)

    I did, but I don't think I'm going to anymore. I got it per a recommendation of my aunt to help my digestive issues that she thought I had, and don't. Personally, I believe if you regularly work out and/or don't have any medical problems with your GI system, I really don't think you need it. Most of those "fad' pills/juices really don't work. I used Lily of the desert whole leaf brand for about 2 months on and off during the winter when I was sick.

    FYI ~ It tastes HORRIBLE and I can tolerate a lot of yucky tasting medicines, pills and drinks etc... It actually made my hubby puke... And, don't believe people when they say to mix it with juice... BAD BAD idea!!! Meh... :(

    It may be a different kind. I think mine is flavored. It's delicious.

    If you're talking about the sweet drink that often comes in green bottles from Korea with gelatinous aloe vera chunks in it... I doubt it's even remotely healthy, but it IS delicious.
