Nopal Juice (liquid)

Nopal juice is prepared by extracting, through cold pressing, the gel from ground cactus pads after they have been properly ripened and cleaned.

Nopal juice is rich in polysaccharides (opuntiamannan), pectic substances, minerals (potassium, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, iron), proteins, amino acids, and B vitamins, as well as vitamins A and C.

It is appreciated for its soothing and emollient properties on the digestive system and for its contribution to maintaining a healthy body weight balance.

It also has a natural calming effect that helps reduce gastric inflammation. Thanks to its mechanical action of filling the stomach, it promotes the distension of the gastric walls, inducing a faster sense of satiety. It also limits the absorption of fats and carbohydrates, making it suitable for weight management.
