Nopal Cactus (Opunita Ficus Indica) has been used as a medicinal food for thousands of years by the Indigenous people of Mexico. Nopal powder’s unique phytochemical, vitamin and mineral profile make it highly nutritious and extremely beneficial for maintaining the body’s systems in optimal condition i.e. supports pancreatic, insulin and blood sugar functions; lower cholesterol function; enhanced bowel function/removal of bowel toxicity; immune system function; and the timed-release of nutrients.

Nopal has been shown in studies to stabilize and regulate blood sugar by increasing the body’s levels and sensitivity to insulin. It has an extremely low Glycemic Index (GI) of 7. This low GI score along with the fact that it is high in mucilaginous fibre means that it also assists the slow, gentle absorption of other foods, herbs and supplements taken with it into the blood stream. This also means that unhealthy foods, like high GI foods, will also be absorbed into the blood stream at a slower rate, giving the body more time to deal with the toxicity.

Nopal is often used as a slimming supplement because of its high fibre content it absorbs water when eaten giving a gentle feeling of satiety. This along with the fact that it regulates the blood sugar levels, means that it may help to reduce carbohydrate cravings and to control the appetite. Nopal’s vegetable protein helps the body pull fluids from the tissues back into the bloodstream thereby helping diminish cellulite and fluid retention.
