Some people using Aloe vera may experience a mild allergic reaction, developing a rash or feeling of itchiness. If so, discontinue use. As with all herbal remedies, refrain from use if you are pregnant or nursing.

I found that the main ingredient of glyconutrients is aloe vera. Glyco-nutrients are very expensive so I thought I would investigate taking a daily aloe-vera drink instead of glyconutrients. I like what I have researched and discovered about aloe vera so far. I have already posted some research about aloe vera and will post more in the future. For now I am drinking about 2 ounces of aloe-vera in my daily fruit/veggie smoothie. I will tell you how it goes, good or bad.

I have been taking vitamins and herbs for several months for
brain-fog and memory problems. I was having significant results from taking supplements but then several weeks ago, I began having very dry patches of hair. Dry hair alone might not sound so bad but I figured if my hair was unhealthy then there might be some other un-diagnosed internal problems related to the use of the vitamins & herbs I was taking? I decided to quit taking any vitamins until I could determine if the vitamins were causing the problem. Going on three weeks now without using supplements, my hair has become less dry. The downside to this course of action is that the brain-fog and memory problems I was treating with vitamins has now returned. I have become absent minded and my concentration level has gone back to pre-vitamin levels.

I have always used aloe vera for burns including sunburns in the past and a few months ago I came across a web-site that stated that aloe vera was not much different than glyconutrients. I am not certain if there are any studies that will validate the use of aloe vera for treating neurological problems but it seems reasonable to think they might help? I will post this information as soon as I find it again. I am hoping that drinking aloe vera each day will help in my efforts to overcome my own neurological dysfunction and if it does, I will let you know.
