TIME Magazine called it “The Secret Killer”
...and here’s how to help protect against it

In 2004, TIME Magazine ran an astonishing story about inflammation and its destructive effect on the body’s health.*

In the years following TIME’s story, medical science went on to find even more links between chronic inflammation and highly debilitating conditions, including allergies, chronic aches and pains, IBS and others.

These links were dumbfounding: so many different conditions can all stem from just one problem – chronic inflammation.

And the type of chronic inflammation that is being studied is not just that “sore, swollen muscle and joint” kind that so many naturally think of. It also includes the deeper, internal types of inflamed tissues affecting vital body systems, such as:

  • Chronic cardiovascular inflammation in the heart and arteries
  • Chronic pulmonary inflammation in lungs and airways
  • Chronic digestive inflammation in the stomach, esophagus and intestines
  • Chronic inflammation in the other major organs (liver, kidneys, etc.) and glands
  • Chronic widespread body cell inflammation existing throughout the body

All of these different types of chronic inflammation can lead to many different kinds of severe health problems, such as:

  • Ongoing, never ending pain in parts of the body
  • Allergies and asthmatic reactions
  • High blood pressure and deteriorating heart and blood vessel health
  • Ulcers and Irritable Bowel Syndrome
  • Constant, overall tiredness and lethargy

Normal inflammation is good

Whenever your body is subject to threatening elements or events, it may counter these attacks with one of its defense mechanisms – inflammation. This is normal.

The threats that could trigger the body’s inflammatory response could be little things, such as an injury like a pulled muscle. Or, the threat could be a bacterial intrusion. Stressful feelings and events can also trigger inflammation to flare up in any number of your body’s tissues. And, nutritionally deficient diets can lead to inflammatory flare-ups.

Finally, one of the biggest causes of inflammation could be today’s world, which relentlessly exposes your body to an overwhelming flood of micro-sized dangers, such as toxins, pollutants, bacteria, viruses and chemicals from ... the air you breathe ... the water you drink ... the foods you eat ... and even the things you touch.

But chronic inflammation is very bad

Due to all of the causes of inflammation, it’s highly likely that right now, as you read this, your body has many sites that are inflamed. This isn’t the problem, though. The problem is all of sites in your body where, for a variety of reasons, your inflammation isn’t being turned off. Instead, the inflammation just keeps going and going. This is chronic inflammation.

There are several factors that can keep your body from turning off its inflammation response, but three factors are especially prevalent:

  • Chronic Stress – it keeps your body constantly “revved up,” wasting nutrient stores and impairing its ability to stop inflammation from becoming chronic
  • Chronic Nutritional Deficiencies – without the right nutrition, on a daily basis, your body may not have the right resources to put a halt to ongoing inflammation
  • Chronic Toxin Overload – in today’s world, your body is constantly fighting off toxins, pollutants and contaminants from so many sources that it simply can be too overwhelmed to stop the never ending, triggered inflammation

You’ll notice that there’s one thing in common with all three of the above factors: Chronic. When these adverse factors are chronic (constant), it greatly increases the chance that your body’s inflammation will be chronic, too. And it’s exactly this type of inflammation – the chronic kind – that the TIME Magazine story warned about because it can be so damaging to your health.

Some common examples of how you could be suffering from various kinds of chronic inflammation and their related health problems include:

  • 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.

Chronic Inflammation

It’s long been a secret problem
– now scientist are discovering it’s the cause of so many different kinds of pain and serious disease

Chronic inflammation is linked to a wide variety of conditions, including many types of pain, heart disease, diabetes, cancer, Alzheimer’s and even gum disease!

For the longest time, chronic inflammation remained hidden and unknown as an extremely serious health problem. It wasn’t until not too long ago that it was discovered to be so dangerous. So much so that TIME Magazine even published a story about it on its cover.* Now, scientists are finding more and more links between chronic inflammation and a wide variety of conditions including:

  • Many types of pain
  • Heart disease
  • Diabetes
  • Cancer
  • Alzheimer’s disease
  • Gum disease


Although inflammation hasn’t been pinpointed as the cause of all these conditions, it has been well-documented* as playing a part in them – often intensifying the symptoms and effects.

So what exactly is inflammation, how can it affect you and how can you help reduce it?

First things first: What is inflammation?
Inflammation is your immune system’s response to damage. This damage can arise from trauma, bacterial, viral or parasitic infection, stress, genetic abnormalities, metabolic disorders and a host of other sources. Certain lifestyle conditions can also contribute to inflammation: poor diet, stress, being overweight, a sedentary lifestyle and smoking. Inflammation can cause redness, swelling, heat, pain and loss of function.

When you’re injured, the inflammatory response immediately moves into action. White blood cells rush to the scene of the damage and begin to destroy the damaged cells, while sending out chemical signals that call for more help. Part of this response process creates free radicals, which attack the damaged area and help correct the problem. Finally, at a certain point, the body overcomes the damage, repairs the tissues, and equilibrium is restored.

However, if the body can’t overcome the damage and restore equilibrium, then the inflammation continues unabated. Those free radicals, instead of stopping, continue attacking the body’s tissues, and now start damaging healthy cells. This new damage leads to yet the continuation of inflammation, which mistakenly causes more damage, which results in further inflammation, and so on. This is the cycle of chronic, never ending inflammation. And it’s what causes all the serious trouble.

How chronic inflammation worsens your health over time
Though you may not see or even feel chronic inflammation, it could be silently causing trouble within your body right now. Over time, it can result in two kinds of damage: first to the immediate area of your body that’s chronically inflamed; and second to your overall health as well. Common problems can include:

  • Heart Problems – chronic inflammation is believed to contribute to the formation of plaque in blood vessels, as well as the formation of blood clots. When these blood clots break free into the blood, they can block blood flow to the brain or heart, resulting in a heart attack or stroke.
  • Brain Problems – chronic inflammation plays a role in Alzheimer’s disease, yet scientists are still uncertain what that role is. However, one theory is that inflammation kicks into gear because of the plaques and tangles in the brains of Alzheimer’s patients. In trying to solve the problem, inflammation just makes matters worse.
  • Joint Problems – chronic inflammation of the joints can result in destroyed ligaments and tendons, damage to joint cartilage and bone and even bone erosion. This leads to pain, deformity and an inability to perform daily tasks – drastically affecting quality of life.
  • Mouth and Gum Problems – dental researchers once thought bacterial infections caused gum disease, but now it is thought that some of the more severe symptoms of gum disease are attributable to chronic inflammation. The National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research, part of the National Institutes of Health, report that inflammation can even break down bone and connective tissue that keep the teeth in place.
  • Emotional Health Problems – chronic inflammation may even play a role in your emotions. Scientists at the University of Illinois (Champaign/Urbana) discovered that an enzyme secreted by the immune system caused inflammation-related, depression-like symptoms in mice. Because inflammation is linked with conditions often accompanied by depression – such as diabetes, cancer and heart disease – researchers expect that this study will provide insight into chronic inflammation’s role in depression.
  • Cancer Problems – although researchers haven’t discovered the exact mechanism of chronic inflammation’s role in cancer, they believe it encourages cancer growth. According to the American Cancer Society, inflammation creates just the right conditions for cancer cells to grow and multiply.

How Nopalea aids the body in healing:
Its Betalains “come to the rescue”

Betalains (bay´ta lins) are a rare and potent class of antioxidants that flourish in the Nopal cactus fruit. Nopalea™ harnesses the power of this desert Superfruit and its Betalains to bring you scientifically proven health benefits.

These Betalains have been scientifically proven, in hundreds of studies, to help the body detoxify itself and reduce inflammation.

More about those amazing Betalains
Betalains are the pigments that give the Nopal cactus fruit its vibrant pink color. But that’s just the beginning. They’re also natural antioxidants – and they’re found only in a few of the world’s plants. And among these plants, the Nopal fruit is the leader, by far, as it contains one of the highest amounts of Betalains in all of nature.

How Betalains help with your wellness
When you drink Nopalea, its Betalains enter your system and begin to restore your body’s vitality at the cellular level. They do this by helping your body reduce the toxins surrounding its cells, which allows more essential nutrients to reach each cell. As a result, your cells are better fed and energized to repair and replace damaged tissues and reduce the reactive inflammation, keeping it from becoming chronic and leading to disease.

Scientific research shows that Betalains help to:

  • Reduce the risk of blood clots – Betalains protect the thin lining of your blood vessels; this helps reduce the inflammation that makes your blood sticky and leads to clots.1
  • Reduce bad cholesterol -- Betalains strongly reduce oxidized LDL cholesterol.2
  • Protect cells from toxins -- Betalains protect many types of cells, especially brain cells, from toxins known to trigger tumors.3
  • Protect your liver -- Betalains provide significant protection from toxins that directly affect your liver.4

But getting those precious Betalains can be difficult.

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.

Furthermore, 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 concentrations of Betalains – it lives in the brutally inhospitable conditions of the Sonoran Desert.

So if inflammation is the problem, then Nopalea is a natural solution.

Nopalea defends your body against dangerous toxins that: ...threaten cellular health
...lead to inflammation
...and trigger a whole host of diseases

Here’s how it helps the body thrive.

The power of Betalains
Harnessing the power of Betalains, a rare and potent class of antioxidants that flourish in the Nopal cactus, Nopalea™ delivers scientifically proven health benefits.

Detoxify your body
Every day, we’re exposed to toxins in our air, water and food—and even toxins created by our own bodies. Nopalea combines its Betalains with other anti-toxic ingredients to combat these poisons where they strike us first: right inside the trillions of cells in our bodies.

By increasing the activity of CYP-2E1, a special enzyme that neutralizes daily toxins, Nopalea protects your cells and vital organs—especially your liver—against the carcinogens, hormone disruptors, respiratory toxins, developmental toxins and neurotoxins that are responsible for one-quarter of all the world’s diseases.

Reduce inflammation
When toxins assault your system—or when injury or infection strikes—your body responds with a complex biological process commonly referred to as inflammation. If this inflammation goes unchecked, it can lead to a wide variety of disorders, from stroke to arthritis to heart disease.

Nopalea specifically targets signs of inflammation in your body and reduces them quickly. Its Betalains and other anti-inflammatory ingredients work directly on the fluid surrounding your cells. There, they draw off the toxins and excess water to reduce inflammation and rebalance the cellular environment.

Protect against premature aging
Your skin is a miraculous covering that protects you from harm. Pollution, toxins, radiation and other potentially damaging influences are kept out of your body by your skin; vital organs are protected inside. One of the first signs of aging is thin, sagging, withered skin that is easily damaged.

Nopalea rushes to these damaged areas to shore up your protective layer. The Betalains in Nopalea fill in the gaps of your cells (including the cells in your skin) and return them to the firm, robust nature of young cells — at any age. By providing a healthy environment for the cell, Betalains keep it from withering.

More health benefits
Want even more reasons to drink Nopalea? Scientific research shows that Nopalea also helps the body to:

  • Increase energy
  • Boost the immune system
  • Protect against fluid retention
  • Neutralize free radicals


Nopalea ... drink it and thrive.

Research

  • Finding: 287 scientific papers have been published on the Nopal’s benefits

    To date, 287 scientific papers have been published on the benefits and attributes of Nopal. These reports are found in the highest quality, peer-reviewed journals and are supported by the National Institutes of Health database to ensure that the conclusions were valid. They scientific papers chronicle improvements in cell function, immunity, detoxification – and especially a reduction in inflammation.

  • Finding: Nopalea promotes optimum cellular health

    The environment surrounding most cells in the human body is comprised mostly of water. Inflammation in the cells causes the water to heat up. Heat causes the wall of the cell to wither, melt and break down very rapidly. Nopalea™ drives down inflammation and turns the fluid environment of the cell into cool, refreshing water that supports a firm, robust cell membrane. A cool environment for the cell slows down the aging process.

    During the inflammatory process a chemical is released known as myeloperoxidase (MPE). This is the most powerful oxidant produced by the human neutrophil during acute inflammation, especially from infection or cancer.[1] Soon, Betalains found in Nopalea douse the wildfire of inflammation caused by MPE and protect the healthy cells.[2] Meanwhile, Betalains drain toxic waste water surrounding the cells and create a cooling environment conducive to cell health.[3]

  • Finding: Nopalea helps reduce inflammation

    The most common causes of death from disease in North America are related to atherosclerosis – hardening of the arteries. Healthy arteries become diseased from inflammation. Often, LDL (“bad” cholesterol) oxidizes because of stress or toxins or a diet deficient in antioxidants. The inflamed LDL ricochets off the delicate lining of the blood vessel leaving microscopic injuries like millions of tiny paper cuts in the blood vessels. The blood vessels themselves inflame in response to this injury and become sticky. Sticky arteries and sticky cholesterol is a recipe for disaster. Soon, adhesion molecules called ICAM-1 cause the sticky compound to harden.

    Betalains from Nopalea help reduce inflammation through antioxidant protection of the blood vessel lining and by reducing inflammation in the “bad” LDL cholesterol.[4] What is more, Betalains prevent ICAM-1 from hardening the cholesterol compound.[5] By doing this, Betalains from Nopalea provide protection for the delicate lining of the arteries and help reduce the risk for heart attacks, stroke and other vascular diseases.

  • Finding: Nopalea helps detoxify poisons

    A number of experiments have been designed to test the anti-toxin ability of Betalains. One of the most popular series of studies on human toxicity involves one of the most common poisons: alcohol. A study completed in 2004 demonstrated that Nopal not only protected against signs of alcohol toxicity, it also reduced inflammation as measured by CRP.[6]

    Other tests on red blood cells of humans and animals have challenged toxins associated with fatal poisons like carbon tetrachloride, toxins created by viruses like Epstein-Barr and even toxins created by cancers such as Chronic Myeloid Leukemia. [7][8][9]

  • Finding: Nopalea helps protect against premature aging

    A cell has a “pre-programmed” lifespan. If the cell ages at the appropriate rate we call that healthy aging. If the cell ages too quickly we call that premature aging. Many aspects of the environment of the cell contribute to how quickly – or how slowly – the cell ages. Among the influences already mentioned are fluid balance, inflammation and toxicity. When fluid is balanced and inflammation and toxicity are low, the cell has the opportunity to age in a healthy way.

    Much of the health of the cell depends on the health of the membrane called the cell wall. It requires building blocks made of fats and proteins and pressure pumps fueled by minerals. Betalains act like anchors to give structure to the proteins and fats that comprise the cell walls. This keeps the cell wall healthy and prevents it from breaking down prematurely. It also makes the cell wall robust and prevents it from “popping” too easily.[10] Further, Betalains create the perfect mineral balance inside the cell (mostly potassium and magnesium) and outside the cell (mostly sodium and calcium). The tension created by these minerals produces electricity that fuels the pump and keeps the pressure inside the cell higher than the pressure outside the cell.[11] The combination of these effects results in slowing the aging process and allowing the cell to live out its full lifespan in a balanced, healthy way.

  • Finding: Nopalea provides blood sugar stability and helps reduce inflammation

    Nopalea is derived from the fruit of the Nopal cactus. Nopal fruit and leaves have been used to control rapid changes in blood glucose levels in both animals and humans.[12][13] However, Nopalea is a fruit juice. Its metabolism must be calculated as any fruit juice: the current harvest has 14 calories and about 3 ½ grams of carbohydrate per ounce. It should be treated as any other food in diabetic calculations.

    On the positive side, type 2 diabetes is an inflammatory condition. Nopal cactus fruit reduces inflammation.[14] So, Nopalea may provide benefits beyond blood sugar stability; it may actually reduce some of the inflammation that causes long-term health concerns for people with type 2 diabetes.

  • Finding: Agave nectar has an array of benefits

    Agave contains saponins and fructans. Saponins have anti-inflammatory properties, including antimicrobial capability. In fact, the Aztecs used agave syrup to treat wounds because of its antibacterial properties.
    Inulin is a type of fructan or fiber that has many health benefits. Studies suggest that inulin can be effective in weight loss because of its low impact on blood sugar and its ability to increase satiety and decrease appetite. Inulin is also associated with lowering cholesterol, reducing the risk of certain cancers and increasing the absorption of nutrients, such as isoflavones, calcium and magnesium.

Wellness Stories

“I felt amazing! ”

“I must say that I was definitely a skeptic when it came to Nopalea. However what really ‘sold’ me was the fact that TriVita addresses the importance of spiritual, mental, physical, and emotional health. I purchased Nopalea and shortly afterwards, I felt amazing. I am a competitive figure skater, and the sport is extremely tough on the body. When you land from doing your ‘triple axels’ or take a hard fall on the ice, your body suffers. I have noticed that I don’t get bruised as much when I skate and my skating is more fluid. I also sleep better, and Nopalea tastes great! ”

- Kimberly B. - Chicago, IL.

“I now have full range of motion without any pain...”

“Just after I started taking Nopalea, I tore my rotator cuff during a workout. I had lost about 25% to 50% range of motion in my shoulder. I continued to take Nopalea in hopes that it would help my shoulder recover. About a month after the injury, I ran out of Nopalea and stopped taking it for about three weeks. As a result, my range of motion got worse. Surgery was suggested, but I knew I did not want that. A few days later, I received and started taking Nopalea again, and within three days the range of motion in my shoulder improved immensely. I am so grateful for Nopalea; today I now have full range of motion without any pain in my shoulder!”

- Emily S. - Lebanon, OR

“With Nopalea, my body feels so much better – I’ve been given my life back.”

“At age 15 I learned that I had inflammation of the pancreas plus another disorder which causes mucus accumulation and breathing problems. These two conditions made my life very difficult. I tried a variety of things but they all had complications. They robbed me of energy, or caused me to look bad and/or made me feel very sick. Before Nopalea, I was always tired and never able to keep up with my own two-year-old son. That also depressed me. Now, since taking Nopalea, I feel great, look at life in a different way and wish everyone could feel the same way that I do! Everyone should try this wonderful, natural, ‘life-enhancer.’ I recommend it because even if someone does not suffer from pain, it replenishes your body and mind. Since being on Nopalea, my hair, skin and nails are beautiful again which is amazing because previously my body was being robbed of nutrients. With Nopalea, my body feels so much better – I’ve been given my life back.”

- Jessica B. – El Paso, TX

“...in less than an hour my sinus headache was gone.”

“When the winds kick up, my allergies and sinuses go nuts. Usually I have itchy eyes and sneeze a lot. But this week I've had a sinus headache for 2 days and couldn't shake it. I even tried something specifically for sinus headaches. Nothing worked. Then the Nopalea I ordered arrived and I immediately tried it. Something amazing happened... in less than an hour my sinus headache was gone. I seriously can't believe it! If someone had told me that this happened to them I probably would be very skeptical. But it happened to me so I am proof that it works! I have never been so excited about a product! I'm so glad I found you!”

- J. Bigley. - Gilbert, AZ

“Overall, my sleeping patterns benefited and my general energy level is way up, too.”

“I took the Nopalea 30-day challenge. The pain in my left foot, which had been bothering me for some time, disappeared. Overall, my sleeping patterns benefited and my general energy level is way up, too. Another change was the reduced pain in my legs. Over the last few years I noticed my thighs were sort of puffy and pressure on my legs was painful. I think the Nopalea reduced all the inflammation in my legs and feet and gave me a higher energy level. I even noticed a decreased craving for diet drinks in about 2 days. Thanks.”

- Valerie C. - Renton, WA

“Now I don’t have to take anything for the pain and I’m back to my active and healthy lifestyle.”

“I recently suffered a back injury and ended up with a herniated/bulging disk. The only relief I got was when I took something for the pain. My girlfriend, who is an avid user of Nopalea, suggested that I try it. I agreed to, as I was desperate to stop the underlying pain. I started on the Loading Phase. It took about 1-1/2 bottles before I started to feel any different. Now I don’t have to take anything for the pain and I’m back to my active and healthy lifestyle.”

- Jane Z. - Los Alamos, NM

“After taking the Loading Phase, I've been allergy-free.”

“I tried one bottle of Nopalea and was immediately hooked. Allergy season starts early in Georgia and seems to affect me for longer periods of time each year. I suffer with sinus headaches, swollen nasal passages, teary eyes, sneezing and all the symptoms of allergy sufferers. This made my daily five-mile walk and yard work almost unbearable. I tried one bottle of Nopalea and was immediately hooked. After taking the Loading Phase, I've been allergy-free. I now feel so good every day.”

- Juanita D. - Loganville, GA

“I encourage anyone who's been living in pain to try this.”

“About 15 years ago I was in constant pain over my whole body. I tried a lot of different things, but they only helped temporarily and the pain was still there. There were days my legs were so swollen and painful it was uncomfortable to walk. And my energy level was so low that I couldn't keep up with family events. When I heard about Nopalea, I was skeptical, but finally decided to give it a shot. Well, let me tell you about taking it. After 2 weeks my energy level was incredible, my pain in my legs went from 90 percent of pain to barely any pain at all! I know it's for pain but I also dropped 2 dress sizes. Maybe it works different with everyone. I encourage anyone who's been living in pain to try this – YOU WILL FEEL THE DIFFERENCE!”

- Yolanda F. - Elk Grove, CA

“I am so happy with Nopalea that I recommend it to anyone who finds themselves in constant pain.”

“I am so excited to share with you how wonderful I have found your Nopalea product to be. About 4 months ago I started taking it daily. At the time, I was taking something for joint pain and stiffness. I decided to stop taking it upon receiving my Nopalea. For two months I continued to have some pain and was so tempted to go back to the previous thing I was taking, but I continued to take the Nopalea product on a daily basis. I was only taking about 3 oz. a day and may have needed to take more for the Loading Phase. However, after two months, I noticed that I could move more freely and I was not having the aches and pains that I once had around my monthly cycle. I was so thankful that I did not stop taking this product and gave it a chance to get into my body and reduce the inflammation. I am so happy with Nopalea that I recommend it to anyone who finds themselves in constant pain. Thank you so much for all you do to give people like me a chance to have their health restored and be free of pain and have the advantage of healing that no other product has offered. May God bless all that you do and may others find out about this great product so that they too can be free to enjoy life in a more abundant way.”

- Debbie N. - Lynn Haven, FL

“My breathing and sinus problems lessened and I started to feel much better.”

“I took the Nopalea Wellness Challenge, following the directions on the bottle. After a couple of weeks my leg and lower back pains started to go away. My breathing and sinus problems lessened and I started to feel much better. By the end of the month, the Nopalea was gone, as well as my pains. I thank you for the Nopalea Challenge, so I am ordering more. It has helped me tremendously.”

- Hazel W. - Liberty, NY.

  • How is the Betalain antioxidant different from other Superfruit antioxidants?

    Betalains are a protein-bound antioxidant that does more than help slow aging. Betalain antioxidants can help the body reduce inflammation, detoxify the cell and restore the balance between the inside and outside of the cell for optimal cellular function. While many antioxidants have been claimed to have different health benefits, the Betalain antioxidant is specifically studied to help the body reduce inflammation on a measurable and therapeutic level. Multiple studies show that Betalain antioxidants can help the human cell detoxify and remove unwanted and dangerous toxins which help reduce inflammation.

  • What makes Nopalea so effective?

    Quality! Nopalea is made from premium, antioxidant-rich Nopal cactus fruit. This fruit is carefully harvested from the Sonoran Desert, using the same techniques the native Sonorans have been using for thousands of years. From there, the fruit is juiced to a puree and bottled in a state-of-the-art facility, which ensures quality and freshness while also preserving the antioxidants and their potency.

  • How is Nopalea different from other Superfruit concentrates products?

    While many Superfruit liquid wellness concentrates are available today such as Noni, Mangosteen, and Acai, Nopalea is made from the purest and freshest Opuntia Ficus Indica (Nopal) cactus that produces a antioxidant rich Superfruit. This powerful Superfruit is unique in that it contains a rare class of antioxidant called Betalain. The Betalain antioxidant is scientifically studied and proven to help the body detoxify itself from harmful environmental toxins which help reduce and protect against inflammation. Inflammation is now considered the number one precursor to dangerous and life threatening disease.

  • With so many Superfruit products available, why should I use an Opuntia Ficus Indica (Nopal) product over an Acai, Noni or Mangosteen product?

    There are many Superfruit products available and they all contain antioxidants to help slow the aging process and fight free radicals. However, none of them have the clinical research that Opuntia Ficus Indica does on helping the body detoxify and reduce inflammation. Because science has proven inflammation is a serious cause for disease, Opuntia Ficus Indica could be a more prudent selection.

  • Could you tell me a little more about how Nopalea is made

    When the Nopal cactus blooms and ripens, it lights up the desert with its brilliant pink fruit. It’s at this point when our harvest begins – just as it has for thousands of years by the ancient peoples of the Sonoran desert.

    Low-impact harvesting for high-impact wellness

    By following the sustainable wildcrafting techniques learned from native Sonoran ancestors, we take only what’s needed from the extraordinary Nopal cactus. That means we take only a small amount for fruit from each cactus, leaving the majority of it to supply nourishment for desert animals and ensure reseeding for an abundant crop in the future. It’s our way of ... giving back ... respecting the cycle of life ... and celebrating the harvest season.

    Immediately after our harvest, the Nopal fruits are transported to our state-of-the-art processing plant. Here, the fruits are juiced and blended with other natural ingredients to create a deliciously unique, concentrated wellness drink. Plus we use aseptic bottling techniques (low heat and rapid cooling) to sterilize and preserve the fruits’ purity, freshness and potency of its powerful antioxidant Betalains.
