Description
(180 Vcaps) Nopal Cactus (opuntia streptacantha species) has been used for thousands of years by Mexican natives as a food and for enhanced health and vitality. The cactus used in this supplement is 100% organically-grown and dried at low temperatures to preserve enzymes and heat sensitive elements. Nopal is highly nutritious and contains a unique phytochemical, vitamin and mineral profile which contributes to its beneficial effects. One of the primary uses of Nopal is to control blood sugar levels, as its unique nutritional profile helps to lower blood sugar levels when it is too high, bringing these levels back into an acceptable range. Nopal may be safely used with Yacon Syrup, a low calorie, low glycemic alternative sweetener which has a negligible effect on blood sugar levels and also helps to boost our digestive abilities.
Nopal is high in bulk forming mucilaginous fiber that assists most foods, herbs and supplements taken with it to be gently and naturally time-released into the blood stream. This includes the timed-release of sugars into the blood stream to support healthy blood sugar and insulin functions. These properties of Nopal complement the time release properties exhibited by Aloe Vera, a polysaccharide-rich food which has been noted for its abilities to help the body absorb a wide range of vitamins and minerals. The slow release of nutrients into the bloodstream mediated by Nopal also allows the body to deal with the resultant toxicity of less healthful foods with much greater ease.
In these ways Nopal cactus nutritionally supports pancreatic, insulin and blood sugar functions, helps to decrease levels of oxidized cholesterol, and works to enhance digestive function. Consumption of Nopal Cactus has been shown to inhibit viral growth, and when combined with other potent, traditional anti-viral superherbs such as Cat's Claw, may help to reverse the growth of viral infections such as those due to herpes.
