Product Description

• Nopal, also known as prickly pear cactus, has been one of the most important botanicals consumed as a health-promoting food for centuries. The cactus contains a wide array of beneficial compounds, including antioxidants that are important for overall health. Our Full Spectrum Nopal Cactus consists of flesh of the cactus "leaf", also called stem or pad, for a full spectrum of nopal activity.
• The leaves of the nopal are widely consumed as a vegetable, similar in taste to asparagus, and the red, pear-shaped fruit is used to make jams, jellies and other desserts. Herbalists have used nopal leaves topically for centuries.
• Extracts of nopal also help balance fluids and electrolytes, two areas that are often affected when blood sugar is imbalanced.
• The cactus also contains substantial levels of beta-carotene and vitamin C, which also have antioxidant properties.

• This 1% natural product is derived from a high quality Nopal Cactus, which is shown to quickly bind to starch and simple sugars, limiting them from being digested.
• The cactus also contains substantial levels of beta-carotene and vitamin C, which also have antioxidant properties.
• The nopal's polysaccharides, along with its pectins and mucilages, slow down intestinal transit and absorption of sugar, thereby supporting healthy glucose levels.
