Nopal is the most treasured species with the highest concentration of nutritional and healing properties.

 

Insulin and Blood Fat Modulation

Nopal is primarily known for its positive effect on blood sugar because of its ability to normalize levels and increase insulin sensitivity.

 

Blood sugar control is attributable to its fiber content and specific hypoglycemic molecular agents.

 

These specific phyto-nutrients have been shown to augment the body?s cellular response to insulin.The Prickly Pear Cactus is also known to balance blood fats because of its carotenoid and glycoprotein properties. Polysaccharide fibers and sterols exhibit a positive effect on cholesterol and triglycerides by literally binding with bile salts, therefore reducing unhealthy lipids in the blood.

 

Because of this, the conversion of blood sugar to fats is prevented.It is completely safe to take in combination with medications and other natural health products and there are no reported contraindications.Suggested Use:Add 1 - 3 teaspoons daily to baking or smoothies.PR: I: L: LD: I: Rank: Traffic: Price: C:
