Aztec Nopal or Prickly Pear Cactus (pad) is native to Mexico
where it has been used as a food and medicine by the ancient indigenous
civilizations of Toltecs, Olmecs, and Aztecs. As it is grown in the
nourishing pristine soil of the Aztec high mountains, its most
important bioactive healing properties are able to develop fully. Aztec
Nopal is the most treasured species with the highest concentration of
nutritional and healing properties.
Insulin and Blood Fat Modulation
Aztec Nopal is primarily known for its positive effect on
blood sugar because of its ability to normalize levels and increase
insulin sensitivity. Blood sugar control is attributable to its fiber
content and specific hypoglycemic molecular agents. These specific
phyto-nutrients have been shown to augment the bodys cellular response
to insulin.
The Prickly Pear Cactus is also known to balance blood fats
because of its carotenoid and glycoprotein properties. Polysaccharide
fibers and sterols exhibit a positive effect on cholesterol and
triglycerides by literally binding with bile salts, therefore reducing
unhealthy lipids in the blood. Because of this, the conversion of blood
sugar to fats is prevented.
It is completely safe to take in combination with medications
and other natural health products and there are no reported
contraindications.
