Key Ingredients

Benefits of Nopal
• Supports Blood Sugar Control
Nopal is a high fiber food and may support healthy blood sugar, lipid, and insulin levels in the body. The body is unable to absorb and break down fiber, therefore, fiber does not cause a spike in blood sugar compared to other carbohydrates. Nopal also contains pectin, a fiber found in fruits that provides additional blood sugar control support.
• Promotes Antioxidant Activity
Nopal is jam-packed with antioxidants which help protect cells from damage caused by free radicals. Oxidative stress caused by free radicals has been linked to several chronic conditions. Pigments and phytonutrients such as carotenoids and flavonoids found in nopal help give it some of its powerful antioxidant effects.
• Promotes Digestive System Health
Due to its high fiber content, nopal supports healthy digestion by promoting healthy bowel movements and keeping everything in the gastrointestinal tract running smoothly. Some studies have also found that nopal appears to reduce inflammation in the colon caused by high-fat diets.
