Nopal Cactus Juice Anti–inflammatory Nutrients

Each day brings a new wave of toxins, pollutants, bacteria, viruses and chemicals into your body - from the air you breathe and the food you eat, to the water you drink and even the things you touch. Stress, nutrient deficiencies, metabolic waste and physical injury also take their toll on your health.

If toxins accumulate, trauma injures a cell, stress creates tension, or if a nutrient deficiency weakens a cell, chronic inflammation may appear. Betalains serve as anti-inflammatory nutrients by helping to reduce the activity of the enzymes known to cause all inflammation. What this means is that people with very diverse health concerns find benefits from Betalains!

Common Pain and Chronic Inflammation Eased with Nopalea Cactus Juice:

Muscle, joint and bone inflammation - causing ongoing body pain

Respiratory inflammation - causing allergies and breathing difficulties

Arterial inflammation - causing heart health problems

Digestive tract inflammation - causing ulcers and IBS

Widespread body cell inflammation - causing overall fatigue

The Scientific Research Behind Nopal Cactus Juice & Betalains

Nopalea Nopal Cactus Juice's Incredible Antioxidant Power

Nopalea is a tasty wellness drink sourced from the fruit of the Nopal cactus. The healing properties of the Nopal cactus have been relied on for centuries by native peoples, and they’re now available in Nopalea. Each 32–ounce bottle of Nopalea brims with the health benefits of the Nopal fruit, in a proprietary blend delivering the rare, potent Betalain antioxidants.

Betalains: not your typical antioxidants Betalains (bāy ta linz) are powerful antioxidants that help your body reduce inflammation. Betalains support the structure and function of cells. They also work to neutralize toxins by supporting your natural detoxification processes as well as draining away accumulations of toxic waste.

The average U.S. or Canadian diet is typically devoid of Betalains. The main reason for this is that Betalains are only available from a few types of plants: the Nopal cactus, beets, Swiss chard and a few weeds and fungi.

But not all Betalain-producing plants are equal. Plants produce Betalains to protect themselves from harsh environments; so the harsher the environment, the greater the Betalain production. That’s why, among all of the world’s plants, the Nopal cactus has the highest concentration of Betalains – it lives in the brutally inhospitable conditions of the Sonoran Desert. Betalains have been scientifically proven to help the body detoxify itself and reduce inflammation. See what the scientific research community has to say about these incredible nutrients!
