Have you used aloe vera for nutrition?

[juules]

I went to a health food store and a man was buying huge leafs of aloe vera. I didn't ask him what he was going to use it for but it would have been nice to hear. Has anyone used it as a nutritional booster or to help digestion? What about with your baby/toddler?

I've read that aloe vera can increase the absorbtion of nutrients by 200% in some cases. Woah Awesome if it's true.

Looking forward to hearing about your experiences.

I use an aloe vera juice/gel combo for my digestive health. It helps calm my stomach and stops my heartburn if I get it. (worked wonders during my pregnancy). I'm not sure about the nutrient absorption.....
