A low-dose aloe vera supplement with a vaguely defined proprietary blend, making its overall effectiveness questionable.
Solaray's Aloe Vera Gel Concentrate contains a minimal 10mg of aloe, which is one of the lowest dosages among the analyzed products, significantly hindering its potential for noticeable benefits. The inclusion of a 440mg 'Proprietary Blend' without disclosing the specific amounts of its components is a common practice that limits consumer transparency and makes it impossible to verify the efficacy or primary active ingredients for the stated goals. This lack of transparency combined with the low aloe dose makes it a less attractive option.
- None readily apparent given the formulation and dosage for the stated goals.
- Very low aloe dosage (10mg) which is unlikely to provide significant therapeutic benefits.
- Presence of an undisclosed 'Proprietary Blend' limits transparency and makes it impossible to assess the efficacy of other ingredients.
- The price per serving is not competitive when considering the minimal aloe content.
- Proprietary blends make it difficult to determine the actual amount of each ingredient, potentially hiding ineffective dosages.

Categories
Aloe 40.0
Within the Aloe collection, its exceptionally low 10mg aloe content makes it one of the least potent options, overshadowed by products offering significantly higher and more transparent dosages.
Goals
Digestive Health 40.0
The 10mg aloe dosage is unlikely to provide any substantial digestive soothing or regularity benefits, and the unknown components of the proprietary blend make it impossible to assess any additional support for gut health.
Skin Health 40.0
With only 10mg of aloe, this product offers minimal internal support for skin health; its impact would be negligible compared to products with higher concentrations or even topical aloe applications.
Detoxification 40.0
A 10mg dose of aloe contributes negligibly to the body's natural detoxification processes, and the undisclosed blend components do not inspire confidence in its 'cleansing' capabilities.
