Herbacure Aloe Vera 535 mg for Occasional Constipation, 100 Capsules

Aloe vera capsules for occasional constipation

Herbacure Aloe Vera (Sábila) capsules contain 535 mg of aloe extract made from the plant's latex and leaf. This is the form of aloe used to get things moving: the label itself describes it as a gentle but effective laxative, traditionally used for centuries to promote colon movement.

In Puerto Rico, sábila is in every home. This capsule spares you the bitter taste and lets you measure the amount: one or two capsules at bedtime, with plenty of water. The bottle holds 100 capsules, GMO free and made in the USA.

Who it's for

• Adults with occasional constipation or a slow gut who want a plant-based option.
• People who prefer capsules over aloe juice or gel.
• People who find senna too strong and want to start with a low dose.
• Travelers, or anyone whose routine changes and whose gut stalls for a few days.

What's in each serving

The number people mix up: the 1,070 mg is per 2-capsule serving; each capsule provides 535 mg. The capsule is gelatin, so it is not suitable for vegans or vegetarians.

How to take it

Adults: one to two capsules a day, preferably at bedtime, as the label says. Take them with a large glass of water and stay well hydrated during the day. Start with one capsule; if nothing happened by the next morning, you can go up to two the following day. Store in a cool, dry place.

Aloe with latex is for occasional use, not for months on end. If constipation lasts more than a week or keeps coming back, have a doctor look at it.

Frequently asked questions

What are aloe vera pills used for?
Herbacure's label presents the aloe extract as a traditional laxative, used for centuries to promote colon movement. They are used for occasional constipation, not as a daily long-term routine.

How many capsules do I take, and when?
The label says one to two capsules a day for adults, preferably at bedtime. The sensible approach is to start with one, take it with a large glass of water and see how your body responds the next morning.

How many mg of aloe are in each capsule?
535 mg of aloe extract (latex and leaf) per capsule. The label serving is 2 capsules, which adds up to 1,070 mg, and the bottle has 50 servings.

Is it the same as drinking aloe juice?
No. Aloe juice is usually the inner gel, with almost no laxative effect. These capsules contain extract of the leaf latex, the part that moves the bowels, so the effect is more direct.

Precautions

• Pregnancy, nursing or medications: the label asks you to consult your doctor before use.
• Do not use it if you have undiagnosed abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, intestinal blockage, colitis or Crohn's disease.
• It can cause cramping or loose stools; if that happens, drop to one capsule or stop.
• Long-term laxative use can lower potassium. If you take diuretics, heart medication or blood pressure medication, ask first.
• Not for children. Keep out of their reach.

What to pair it with

Aloe moves the bowels; to look after your gut flora in the meantime, see our gut flora supplements. If your issue is heaviness after meals rather than constipation, digestive enzymes address a different problem. The whole aisle is in digestion and constipation products, and the full brand in Herbacure. Do not combine it with another laxative, such as senna or a colon cleanse formula.
