Short answer:
You can buy one bottle in person—but we do not ship single bottles. And the reason has nothing to do with greed.
It comes down to product quality, shipping physics, cost efficiency, and environmental impact.
Let us explain.
Why We Don’t Ship a Single Bottle
1. Small Frozen Items Melt Faster
We ship our aloe frozen to protect freshness. A single bottle simply doesn’t retain cold well enough on its own.
Larger orders solve this naturally:
- Bottles insulate each other
- They stay frozen longer
- They arrive in better condition
To ship one bottle safely, we’d need extra ice or dry ice, which adds cost, complexity, and waste.
2. The Packaging Is the Same—One Bottle or Two
Shipping frozen food requires serious insulation.
Every frozen shipment includes:
- A custom insulated styrofoam cooler
- Heavy-duty liner bags
- A reinforced white shipping box for added thermal protection
This packaging costs us nearly $10 per shipment, whether there is one bottle or two inside.
Shipping a single bottle is:
- Inefficient
- More expensive per bottle
- The least environmentally friendly option
3. Shipping Schedules Create Gaps
Because frozen shipments cannot sit over weekends or holidays:
- Most orders ship Monday or Tuesday only
- Many customers receive packages 3 days later
- Orders received late on Tuesday can mean waiting up to 9 days
If you order one bottle and love the results, you may run out before your next shipment even leaves.
One Bottle Is Rarely Enough to Evaluate Results
Most people drink aloe for health benefits, not flavor.
And meaningful health changes don’t usually show up overnight.
Typical patterns we see:
- Digestive comfort: ~3 days
- Skin improvements: ~1 week
- Overall wellness: consistent use over time
Trying aloe for a few days and stopping is like:
Going to the gym three times and deciding exercise doesn’t work.
Health improvements come from commitment, not short trials.
About Flavor (A Quick Reality Check)
Our aloe is:
- 100% pure
- Unfiltered
- Raw
- Nothing added
That means it tastes like aloe—sometimes mildly bitter.
We regularly test 1–4 ppm aloin, which is low, but even small amounts affect taste.
If you’re buying aloe for flavor alone, this product is not for you.
If you’re buying it for health, taste becomes secondary very quickly.
Why Single-Bottle Shipping Costs More (Not Less)
When we previously offered single-bottle shipping:
- We had to add ~7 pounds of dry ice or frozen ballast
- Dry ice alone cost ~$10 per order
- Postage was charged by dimensional weight, not bottle count
By the time everything was added:
- One bottle cost nearly the same as a two-pack
- We could not subsidize shipping
- Waste increased dramatically
In one full year, only 7 customers chose this option. That told us everything we needed to know.
The Greener, Smarter Option: Order More
Most customers start with the 2-Pack, and that’s what we recommend.
As order size increases:
- Packaging efficiency improves
- Cost per bottle goes down
- Shipping impact per bottle drops
“But I Really Just Want One Bottle…”
We get it. And if you’re nearby, you can absolutely buy one in-store.
If you simply want to try raw aloe at the lowest cost:
- Buy a fresh aloe leaf at a local grocer
- Filet it yourself
- See how your body responds
We even show you how to do that here:

Our Bottom Line
We won’t ship a single bottle because:
- It compromises quality
- It costs more
- It creates unnecessary waste
Our goal is to get you aloe that arrives very cold, works as intended, and makes sense—economically and environmentally.
If you ever have ideas on how to do that better, we’re listening.
Aloe #1® Aloe Vera Gel Health Drink 58 oz. each Frozen
WARNING: Our product is changing! We are selling our remaining inventory of aloe from Guatemala… and switching to aloe from Florida once we run out. Watch this video to see how our new aloe vera will be: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1m5M7GsdNsc
How long can the juice be kept in the freezer?
1 year is reasonable. We have known of customers to keep it frozen for more than that though.
Do the aloe juice bottles have to be stored in the freezer? Or can they be stored in the refrigerator?
Stored frozen… or in the fridge for up to about 10 days.
What is the recommended serving size per day? I am trying to figure out how long one or two bottles will last me. Thank you!!
Please refer to: https://haleynutrition.com/how-much-aloe-vera-juice-should-i-drink/
I have a recipe for a healing cough syrup using 2-3 leaves of aloe that are blended (Vitamix). About how many ounces of your aloe drink would that be?
We get 6 to 8 ounces per leaf.
Hello,
The reason that I want to only order a bottle is that in years passed, I’ve had a bad reaction to other aloe products. If I purchase two bottles and have a bad reaction, can I return one of them or get some kind of refund? OR do you have a smaller sample that could be used for a few days to be sure I can tolerate it. I have a sensitive make up, it seems and have positive markers for several auto immune disorders. I am a chiropractor and hope to be able to use this product for a long time. Thank you for your consideration.
Dr. Mary
You can always order just one bottle. You have to call in the order… and unfortunately we have to add our full postage, packaging, and dry ice costs. With one bottle purchases, we can not afford to eat portions of these costs like we usually do. Packing materials (box, styro, two plastic bags, tape) alone are $10.
Hi there, to be honest I’ve been watching videos by John & Marcus was particularly impressed with the one with John and Dr. Michael Haley. I would like to start growing from pups and put myself on the back order list last night. I am also an associate with the Univera Co. world leading distributor of the Aloe Vera with growing zones & research labs in various regions of the world. Their website is also very educational & includes in-depth scientific research with a tour of their labs, This Aloe Vera is processed in state of the art labs under pharmaceutical conditions, where they’ve isolated the active component in the plant responsible for its great healing potential and that is the most effective polysaccharides within the plant – those that fall within a range we like to call the ‘Aloe Sweet Spot’. They standardize the amount of those perfectly-sized polysaccharides in each batch. That means MORE of the RIGHT KIND of polysaccharides in every drop. Through farming research & technology they have by altering the growing and the harvesting increased the polysaccharides content in the plant. Tested at independent labs (outside labs) against the world’s top ten competitors they are off the charts with up to 300% more polysaccharides in their juice which is 100% pure no added anything. With all said & done one can only tell if anything is really any good by the results they get by using it over a period of time. In the year & half I’ve been using this product I have not seen any real significant change in my condition which are multiple due to a very compromised immune system. I landed in the Hospital last June for two weeks with pneumonia & more recently with that flu bug that was putting everyone down, still not over the fatigue it left me with. Common sense begs attention here with the logic that nothing processed can be as effective as eating the gel right from the fresh Aloe Vera leaf as was the case with the founder of Univera a billionaire from south Korea 4 decades ago who after searching the world over for a cure for his terminal prostate cancer at home and dying was told about the miraculous healing properties of the Aloe Plant which he had growing in abundance on his estate & after eating it every day experienced a total complete recovery for which out of gratitude decided to bring this miracle healing plant to the world. It wasn’t ’til 20 yrs. later after his passing from old age that his son Bill Lee & his sister with the combined inheritance of 2 billion dollars were able to fulfill his dream of “Bringing the Best of Nature to the World”. And so from Korea, to worldwide this company has grown & continues its expansion to include 23 countries thus far and still going. I didn’t mean to write a thesis here. I would like to know if in your processing you have standardized the Aloe & what method of extraction do you use? I would like place an order from you but will wait on your reply to this thesis. 🙂 Thank you ever so much it seems like you have a fine product.
Healthfully yours
Bhavani
Bhavani, there are a lot of great aloe vera products out there. Ours is actually probably the least standardized. That is, we merely wash the leaves, fillet them, grind them, and freeze them. We do not filter the gel. We do not use processing agents such as diatomaceous earth or activated carbon. We do not pasteurize the gel. We do not add preservatives.
Our product is based on the philosophy that mother nature knows best. That is not to say that these other products do not have efficacy or their place in helping people get well. I’m confident that in some circumstances, a concentrated dose of a specific nutrient may be better. Consider someone who did not have the physical ability to consume the volume necessary to get all of the nutrients.
With that said, we also want to consider additional nutrition that does not come from aloe vera. That is, to get well, you want to consider the whole diet and other factors as well such as exercise, rest, and mental well-being.
Sincerely,
Dr Michael Haley
I need a whole body cleansing – detox not just the liver…I have very bad GERD. Will this aloe vera product do this for me? What kind of diet do you recommend on the cleanse? I cannot fast because I have diabetes and is it a good glycemic control agent? As you informed readers you can mix this in a smoothie with same results and this will not lessen potency of the aloe vera gel? Can you buy this product in Tampa, Florida at the Whole Foods, Abby’s etc….
Thanks,
Sharon
Sharon, you may want to try the GAPS diet… which should help tremendously with GERD and it is low glycemic. You may be able to find our product at “Sponaugle Wellness” in the Tampa area. They can also help direct you with regards to GERD.
