Consumption of Aloe vera latex is not recommended during pregnancy. This is mainly due to its anthraquinone component, which, in addition to its laxative properties, may stimulate uterine contractions, potentially leading to premature labor or miscarriage.[1][2] One case study reported adverse effects in a fetus when the mother consumed Aloe vera, including intestinal peristalsis, the release of meconium in the uterus, and kidney damage.[1]
Additionally, the anthraquinone component of Aloe vera latex and juice may be excreted into breast milk, potentially causing diarrhea in nursing infants. [1]
