Nopal Cactus, Full Spectrum AKA Prickly Pear Cactus

• Nopal, 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. Our Full Spectrum Nopal Cactus consists of flesh of the cactus "leaf", also called stem or pad, for a full spectrum of nopal activity.
• The leaves of the nopal are widely consumed as a vegetable, similar in taste to asparagus, and the red, pear-shaped fruit is used to make jams, jellies and other desserts. Herbalists have used nopal leaves topically for centuries.
• Extracts of nopal also help balance fluids and electrolytes, two areas that are often affected when blood sugar is imbalanced.
• The cactus also contains substantial levels of beta-carotene and vitamin C, which also have antioxidant properties.
