Nopal Mechanism of Action

Clinical experience (including the Mexican National Institute of Nutrition, University of Arizona and University of Vienna), indicates that NOPAL is associated with many beneficial health effects: Slimming: NOPAL is a natural slimming agent. Its high fibre content induces satiety and thus reduces the desire to snack between meals or overeat. NOPAL's soluble and insoluble fibres minimize fat uptake from food. Moreover, NOPAL maximizes the capacity of cells to burn body fat, thereby increasing the breakdown and excretion of fat. By this dual mechanism, NOPAL prevents new deposits of fat and burns existing fat.
In addition, NOPAL's proteins help reduce cellulite and fluid retention by pulling fluids from the tissues back into the bloodstream.
Glucose control: NOPAL stabilizes and then regulates blood sugar by increasing the body's levels and sensitivity to insulin. This accelerates the movement of glucose from the blood into cells where it is burnt as energy.
Cholesterol levels: NOPAL's fibres and vitamin B3 (niacin) help to reduce LDL(bad)-cholesterol and triglyceride levels by metabolizing fat and fatty acids.
Colon cleansing: The insoluble dietary fibre in NOPAL absorbs water and thus quickens food through the digestive tract. NOPAL also contributes to achieve regular bowel movements, thus expelling wastes and toxins.
Anti-oxidant properties: NOPAL possesses anti-oxidant properties due to the presence of 17 amino acids and Vitamins A and C, which jointly help to detoxify the body in general.
