Question 3

can a thyroid patients take aloe vera juice regularly?

Accepted Answer

Probably but...: As far as I can tell no one knows for sure. There was one study showing a reduction of T3 and T4 in mice given aloe, but that doesn't mean it would do the same for people. Some recommend it for hyperthyroidism and thyroiditis because it helps balance immune function but I don't know of studies on this. I consider it benign and it does have proven benefits. Likely safe but monitor thyroid function.

Question 4

Not if it's sugary: If there is added sugar in the drink, then no, it will not be good for weight loss.  If it is free of calories and you are drinking fewer sugary drinks because of the aloe juice, then yes it can help very much like unsweetened tea or coffee can as well.
