Research has found that the natural photochemical ingredients in Nopal act synergistically and simultaneously in positively impacting several human body systems. For example, Hospital-based clinical studies have consistently found that Nopal has a clear hypoglycemic effect on obese, insulin-resistant Type 2 Diabetic patients; while simultaneously lowering serum levels of low-density cholesterols and triglycerides. Nopal is rich in pectin (a soluble fiber), but in addition to fiber-related inhibition of glucose absorption, fasting glucose is also significantly lowered, indicating that Nopal also has the highly beneficial effect of increasing the body's sensitivity of insulin. to
