Despite its apparently rich nutrient content, the contribution of Aloe to the total daily nutrient intake of an individual can be considered negligible because of the small amount of the product that can be consumed per day.
Port: Tim Jan wonder juice contains 16.5% alcohol. Sweet wine or port contains 573 kJ en, 11.8 g carbohydrate per 100ml (one tablespoon, therefore, contains 71.6 kJ en 1.5 g carbohydrate).

The use of Aloe as natural medicine has recently become very popular and is viewed by some people as a “miracle cure” for any ailment or disease. Some of the Aloe species can be poisonous and the potency/“healing power” of the Aloe extract, is greatly determined by the composition of the individual Aloe’s sap. There is no scientific proof that the Aloe sap can promote the release of insulin in the body and so play an important role in the control of blood glucose levels in Diabetes. Aloin, one of the sap’s components, is a known cause of diarrhea.
There is no documented scientific proof that can substantiate the claims that Tim Jan has a medicinal indication or positive contribution towards the treatment of any disease(s).
Is Timjan good for weight loss?
Some research suggests that aloe-based medicines like Timjan could boost your metabolism, increasing the number of calories you burn throughout the day to promote weight loss.
In one 90-day study, administering dried aloe vera gel to experimental animals on a high-fat diet reduced body fat accumulation by increasing the number of calories they burned. Other studies have shown that aloe vera could affect the metabolism of fat and sugar in the body while preventing the accumulation of belly fat. Still, more studies are needed to determine whether aloe vera may offer similar health benefits in humans.
