Nutripuntia is a wholefood superfood made from the prickly pear cactus pads ina dried, powdered form. Sourced from our own certified organic farm in Victoria, our pads are processed in small batches on a very low tempertaure to retain all their nutrients.
Scientific studies have shown that the prickly pear can:
Lower LDL and triglyceride cholesterol levels due to high pectin levels
Regulate blood sugar. The fibre and pectin lowers blood sugar absorption in the stomach and intestines. It also improves insulin sensitivity.
Improve digestion and heal the gut lining due to glutamine
Be anti-inflammatory in the joints and muscles due to antioxidants (flavonoids)
Help prevent and lessen the effects of alcohol hangovers due to anti-inflammatory properties from the antioxidants
Maintain proper cardiovascular health due to biologically active flavonoids, which help to normalize blood platelet stickiness
As the only certified organic producers and processors of prickly pear in Australia, we can guarantee the quality, freshness and purity of this product.
