Prickly Pear Cactus

The active ingredients contained in prickly pear have different effects on metabolism and digestion. The substances combine with dietary fats and prevent their utilization in the body. They form a gel with water in the stomach that encloses the fat compounds and also curbs hunger.

The prickly pear contains a special active ingredient called Opuntia. Mexicans also refer to this substance as Nopal. It is now known not only in South America that prickly pear can help the body with weight reduction. Due to its active ingredients, prickly pear can bind excess fat by connecting the fat molecules to each other. In this way, the human body is no longer able to absorb the fat, so that it is naturally expelled. It helps the human body to absorb sugar and fats. This subsequently leads to an increase in insulin sensitivity. As a result, the ingested carbohydrates can then be metabolized much better, and the excessively dosed energy, which consists of carbohydrates such as fat, can be expelled from the body without problems. This process also takes place in a natural and gentle way.
