Nopal Cactus, has demonstrated through clinical testing what ancient cultures have known for thousands of years. Ethno-botanical records indicate widespread historical use of this succulent cactus, as a prized food and remedy for a broad spectrum of illness. Modern clinical studies have been mostly focused on blood sugar regulation or hyperglycemic individuals with Diabetes Type II, yet investigational studies have led researchers to believe that Nopal as a whole food is most likely an effective support for Metabolic Syndrome or Syndrome X, with compounded health benefits in the areas of Hyperglycemia, Hyperlipidemia, Weight control, Gastro-intestinal support, Inflammation and Oxidative stress.
- Hyperlipidemia (High cholesterol/ Fat levels)
- Arteriosclerosis
- Gastric Ulcers / Gastrointestinal Disorders
- Digestion / liver function
- Obesity: Fiber Rich
- Hyperglycemia (High blood sugar)
- Metabolic Syndrome or Syndrome X
Colon Cleansing/ Constipation: Treatment and Prevention of Colon Cancer - DETOXIFIER. Nopal contains both soluble and insoluble dietary fibers. The insoluble dietary fiber in Nopal (more commonly known as roughage), absorbs water and gently hastens food through the digestive track and contributes to regular bowel movements. In addition the presence of insoluble fibers in the colon help to dilute the concentration of potential carcinogens that may be present. Soluble fibers also contribute to regularity. Furthermore NOPAL is a gentle alternative to psyllium for those with a sensitivity or allergy to psyllium. NOTE: Our Food Guides encourage.
Nopal Powder has rapidly become one of the principal forms for consuming Nopal in many countries around the world. The reason for this is three fold. 1.)The ever increasing international demand no longer makes it feasible to transport vast quantities of fresh Nopal by air or sea. 2.) Customer preference in consumption requires a more pharmaceutical approach to packaging for wider acceptance 3.) Shelf life and nutritional value are extended through the dehydration process.
Hyperlipidemia (High cholesterol/ Fat levels): Known to reduce cholesterol and fat levels. Nopal's amino acids, fiber and B3 (niacin) prevent excess blood sugar conversions into fats, while reducing the total cholesterol, tri glyceride and LDL cholesterol levels by metabolizing fat and fatty acids and eliminating excess bile acids (excess bile acid is eventually converted into cholesterol). Other research studies on B3 (niacin) show its conversion effects of LDL (bad) to HDL (good) forms of cholesterol and help decrease the risk of heart disease.
Arteriosclerosis: Prevention of blocked arteries. The effects of the amino acids and fiber, including the anti-oxidant of Nopal's vitamin C and A (B-carotene) prevents the likelihood of blood vessel wall damage and the formation of fatty plaques and promotes healthy tissue. Nopal's most striking and significant discovery is it's ability to effectively scavenge free radicals, acting as an excellent antioxidant in a dose dependant manner. A preventative measure to help clear your arteries, avoid bypass surgery - a healthier way of life.
Gastric Ulcers / Gastrointestinal Disorders: Reduces and eliminates gastro problems. Nopal's high content of soluble fiber, mucilaginous polysaccharides and unique glycoproteins have been shown to exert a soothing and healing effect on damaged and irritated gastrid mucosa. Nopal vegetable fibers and mucilage’s control excess gastric acid production and protect the Gastrointestinal mucus. This pH buffering and coating has been studied for the prevention of damages that may occur from ingesting spicy foods, aspirin and other NSA IDs. Help your body with this organic whole food supplement and help yourself to more energy and vitality.
Digestion / liver function: Detoxifies and aids in prevention of various illnesses - strengthens immune system. Nopal's naturally available vitamins A, B1, 2, 3, C and the minerals: Calcium, Magnesium, Sodium, Potassium, Iron, and Fibers in Lignin, Cellulose, Hemicelluloses, Pectin, Mucilage’s, and Gum form along with the 17 amino acids to help detoxify and support not only the liver but also the body in general. Ammonia, free radicals and environmental toxins such as alcohol and cigarette smoke-which all suppress the immune system, are removed by Nopal. Polyphenolic and polysaccharidic components of Nopal wee shown to improve immune function and inhibit of inflammatory mediators including C-reactive protein and Nitric Oxide. Nopal also aids in the balancing and calming of the nervous system, which benefits the body's overall function and acts as an age fighting antioxidant, improves the immune system optimization which increases energy naturally.
Obesity: Fiber Rich: - LOW CALORIE BULK. Nearly half of the dry powder mass of Nopal is indigestible fiber which not only provides bulk but cleans the colon after suppressing appetite in the upper GI. A high amino acid, vitamin and mineral content makes Nopal an effective and nutritious LOW CALORIE food ingredient. Nopal's 17 amino acids, 8 of which are essential and must be ingested as food, provide you with MORE ENERGY and LESS FATIGUE by helping the body to lower blood sugar; elevate moods, suppress the appetite and provide nutrients. Fat build up is prevented, while fat break down and excretion is increased. Insoluble fibers such as Lignin are known for increasing satiety and eliminating excessive binges. Nopal's vegetable protein helps the body pull fluids from the tissues back into the bloodstream thereby diminishing cellulite and fluid retention. Also Nopal's 17 amino acids, fibers, vitamins and minerals address the needs of a vegetarian diet.
Hyperglycemia (High blood sugar): Very important in Diabetes II patients. Studies have revealed consistent reductions in post-prandial (after a meal) blood sugar, when consuming Nopal with a meal. Reductions as high as 50% are documented and interestingly the effect was not observed in healthy individuals unless in a hyperglycemic state. Nopal stabilizes and then regulates blood sugar by increasing the body's levels and sensitivity to insulin. Research studies have shown significant hypoglycemic effects maximal from 4 to 6 hours after Nopal ingestion in type II diabetics and non-diabetics. The dangerous side effects of high blood sugar levels including visual, blood vessel and nerve tissue disturbances are all addressed by Nopal's content of B-carotene (Vita. A, Vitamin C, and Vitamins B1, 2,3. Maintain a healthy blood sugar level - take NOPAL daily!
Metabolic Syndrome or Syndrome X: Metobolic Syndrom X common, deadly, treatable and poorly recognized. Metabolic syndrome X is a constellation of metabolic disorders that all result from the primary disorder of insulin resistance. All the metabolic abnormalities associated with syndrome X can lead to cardiovascular disorders - when present as a group, the risk for cardiovascular disease and premature death are very high. The characteristic disorders present in metabolic syndrome X include:
- insulin resistance
- hypertension
- abnormalities of blood clotting
- low HDL and high LDL cholesterol levels
- high triglyceride levels
The chief abnormality present in syndrome X is insulin resistance. That is, the body's tissues do not respond normally to insulin. As a result, insulin levels become elevated in the body's attempt to overcome the resistance to insulin. The elevated insulin levels lead, directly or indirectly, to the other metabolic abnormalities seen in these patients. Very often, the insulin resistance is severe enough that these patients eventually develop type 2 diabetes. When diabetes occurs, the high risk of cardiovascular complications goes even higher. instance. All the metabolic abnormalities associated with syndrome X can lead to cardiovascular disorders - when present as a group, the risk for cardiovascular disease and premature death are very high.
