Nopal (Opuntia spp.) also known as prickly pear cactus, has been one of the most important botanicals consumed as a health-promoting food for centuries. The cactus contains a wide array of beneficial compounds, including antioxidants, that are important for overall health. FULL SPECTRUM™ NOPAL CACTUS consists of flesh of the cactus “leaf”, also called stem or pad, for a full spectrum of nopal activity.

The nopal's polysaccharides, along with its pectins and mucilages, slow down intestinal transit and absorption of sugar, thereby supporting healthy glucose levels. The cactus also contains substantial levels of beta-carotene and vitamin C, which also have antioxidant properties.
