Reduction of High Blood Sugar to Normal Levels

DESERT BLOOM strengthens the liver and the pancreas thereby improving the ability of insulin to stimulate the movement of glucose from the blood into body cells where it is used as energy. A recent study among adult-onset diabetics in Mexico showed that there was a clear hypoglycemic effect on obese, insulin-resistant patients, with simultaneously lowered serum levels of low-density cholesterols and triglycerides.  Nopal is a healthy food for diabetics because it slows the digestion of carbohydrates.  Nopal helps lower excessive blood sugar and it is low in calories and sodium.

  Reduced High cholesterol and Fat levels

DESERT BLOOM 's 18 amino acids, fibre and B3 (niacin) prevent excess blood sugar conversions into fats, while reducing total cholesterol, triglyceride and LDL cholesterol levels, by metabolizing fat and fatty acids and eliminating excess bile acids (excess bile acid is eventually converted into cholesterol).  Other research studies on B3 (niacin) show its ability to convert LDL (bad) to HDL (good) forms of cholesterol, which helps decrease the risk of heart disease.

  Improves Immunity

DESERT BLOOM Nopal Extract in juice form may improve the function of the immune system due to the Phytochemicals it contains.  Phytochemicals are powerful allies of the body's immune system, allowing it to defend the body against all types of pathogens. Lab animals given Nopal juice demonstrate increased immune efficiency with regards to tumor growth, Epstein-Barr virus and suppressed immune response.The amounts of phytochemicals found in Nopal make it a highly desirable and sought after commodity nearly MI species of cacti make nopal a highly desirable and sought after commodity. Researchers have proven that phytochemicals inhibit cancer growth and may prevent cancer from developing. it is even considered the backbone of whole-food cancer prevention. The cactus contains many of these phytochemicals in quantities greater than many other more traditional plant foods.

  Help Obesity with 18 Amino Acids

DESERT BLOOM 's 18 amino acids, 8 of which are essential and must be ingested as food, provide you with more energy and less fatigue by helping the body lower blood sugar; elevate mood and suppress appetite, while providing valuable food nutrients.  Fat build up is prevented, while fat break down and excretion is increased.  Nopal's vegetable protein helps the body pull fluids from the tissues back into the bloodstream thereby diminishing cellulite and fluid retention.

  Help Digestion / liver function

DESERT BLOOM 's naturally available vitamins A, B1, B2, B3, C, minerals: Calcium, Magnesium, Sodium, Potassium, Iron, and Fibres in Lignin, Cellulose, Hemicellulose, Pectin, Mucilages, and Gum form along with the 18 amino acids help to detoxify and support not only the liver but also the body in general. Ammonia, free radicals and environmental toxins such as alcohol and cigarette smoke, which all suppress the immune system, are removed by Nopal. Nopal also aids in balancing and calming the nervous system, which benefits the body's overall function.

  Strengthens the Urinary System

The juice of nopal is widely used in Mexico as an anti-inflammatory diuretic. Where there is pain on urination, with a continuing dull ache in the urethra and bladder well after completion, the juice can be taken to decrease the pain.

SOME OTHER BENEFITS OF THE NOPAL PLANT

1. Vegetarian Food Combining
   Nopal's 18 amino acids, fibers, vitamins and minerals address the needs of a vegetarian diet.
   
2. Colon Cleansing
   Nopal contains both soluble and insoluble dietary fibers. The insoluble dietary fiber in Nopal (more commonly known as roughage), absorbs water and gently hastens food through the digestive track and contributes to regular bowel movements. In addition the presence of insoluble fibers in the colon helps dilute the concentration of potential carcinogens that may be present. Soluble fibres also contribute to regularity. Nopal is a gentle alternative to psyllium for those with a sensitivity or allergy to psyllium.
   
3. Arteriosclerosis
   The effects of the amino acids and fiber, including the anti-oxidant of Nopal's vitamin C and A (B-carotene) prevent the likelihood of blood vessel wall damage and the formation of fatty plaques.
   
4. Gastric Ulcers / Gastrointestinal Disorders
   Nopal vegetable fibers and mucilages control excess gastric acid production and protect the Gastrointestial mucosa. This pH buffering and coating has been studied for the prevention of damages that may occur from ingesting spicy foods, aspirin and other NSAIDs.
