Has anyone tried the Aloe Vera Juice Drinks from Holland & Barrett?

The reason I ask this is because, when you look at the nutritional content of Aloe Vera: Zinc, B3, B12, Folic Acid, Magnesium among others (a large number of complex chemicals) , it would seem like the dream product for someone like me who's just discovered a deficiency in B12 and then ended up with gut problems. Apparently Aloe Vera drives water from the gut.
The Aloe Vera juice drink I have just purchased wasn't from Holland and Barrett in the end but a double strength drink which you take 15ml a day.

I liked it, the taste of it and the idea. I woke up in the night with a cold sweat running down my spine from the base of my skull. It's never happened before. And while I admit I have an over active imagination, all I could think of was the guys on here saying about B12 spinal fluid being repaired. It would be nice if I had some real proof of that but no, could be anything.
