My Aloe Has Arrived!

I had ordered some dehydrated aloe a few weeks back after reading about the awesome benefits (see my post: Day 12 Aloe Vera Awesomeness). After apparently being held at the border it finally arrived late last week. The company "Good Cause Wellness", based out of Arizona, delivered exactly what they had described. Three bottles of aloe vera flakes that had been dehydrated using a low-temperature, short-term process so as not to destroy any of the nutrients. The instructions call for measuring a tiny 1/16th of a teaspoon into 8-10 ounces of liquid. Yes that's right- half of the smallest measuring spoon you likely own. Each small bottle contains a whopping 60 servings! I've been mixing it into my green smoothies every day. I cannot detect any kind of flavor difference with such a small amount, and I hope I'm actually absorbing a helpful amount. The more I read about the benefits of aloe, the happier I am that I ordered this stuff. I feel like I've got a great head start on preventative nutrition.

Here's what a bottle of it looks like (that measuring spoon shown is a 1/4 tsp...my boyfriend has a 1/16th on order for me. He couldn't find any in stores locally):
