The Nopalinaza Is a dietary supplement that is used to prevent circulatory problems, but also digestive disorders such as constipation.
This is because it contains in its formula a significant amount of fiber, which helps cleanse the body of bad cholesterol and reduce blood sugar levels as well as triglycerides.
Nopalinaza owes its name to the combination of flax and opium (Opuntia ficus-indica), a cactus plant that is very common in Mexico, which is therefore associated with local herbalism and its curative powers.
According to their spokesmen, it is involved in the metabolism of people, making them less prone to coronary diseases and diseases such as diabetes. The action of the Nopalinaza is therefore concentrated in the blood, the pancreas and the intestines.
Composition of nopalinaza
Most Nopalinaza presentations may come without sugar, but with large amounts of soluble fiber that normalize glucose levels in foods that are ingested.
The manufacturers of Nopalinaza say that it also has phyto-nutrients that regulate insulin and therefore is able to deal with type II diabetes, in addition to omega-3 fatty acids that help maintain the circulatory system in good condition.
In sum, it has been argued that Nopalinaza causes the intestines to process better the wastes of the human body, which results in better digestion and excretion.
The fiber of this product causes the debris to pass smoothly in the intestinal tract, at the same time that a proper absorption of all the nutrients consumed is made when eating, reason why the Nopalinaza takes care of the nutrition, it avoids the indigestión and it detoxifies the stomach.
According to the companies that make it, the Nopalinaza is basically composed of linseed , Nopal and senna leaf. It contains no gluten, no allergenic products, preservatives, coloring, sugar or artificial flavors of any kind.
Therefore, Nopalinaza is a Vegetarian product In its entirety, so that it has no trace of components of animal origin, nor of harmful chemicals that could compromise the health of its consumers.

Contraindications
To date, manufacturers of Nopalinaza do not indicate that there are contraindications for their consumption, except the most basic of all in which can not be ingested if there is allergy to the components of the formula.
Since it has been assumed that Nopalinaza is 100% natural, it is not expected that there will be side effects or restrictions of some kind when it is ingested.
Recommended consumption
Nopalinaza has many ways to be consumed and that will always depend on the presentation, which has a label that tells how and when it should be taken.
Although their manufacturers have not said anything about the potential risks of overdose, it is assumed that Nopalinaza is ingested in specific amounts for both the adult population and the infant population, as each of these groups has different metabolic needs.
However, a common aspect of Nopalinaza is that it is often taken in liquid form, like a milkshake, up to twice a day and without gluing.
The ingredients added often vary according to the recipe, the time of day, the presentation of Nopalinaza and what you want to improve the human body in terms of its physiological functions in the digestive and circulatory plane.
Fraud allegations
Although scientific studies on the benefits of omega-3 fiber and omega-3 fatty acids are known, apart from the dangerous relationship between type II diabetes and certain high blood levels (triglycerides, cholesterol and glycemia, for example), There is no evidence of evidence that Nopalinaza actually has positive effects on health. Contrary to the claims of its manufacturers, Nopalinaza is not what it claims to be.
In a trial in Peru (reported in 2010), it was discovered that Nopalinaza had no impact on the control of the blood glucose, triglyceride and cholesterol values of its consumers.
The defendant who came to court presented evidence in his defense, but none of them could firmly and satisfactorily demonstrate that Nopalinaza improved the digestion and circulation of patients, nor did it provide concrete evidence to back up their claims.
The most aggravating fact was that the defendant reported to the print media that Nopalinaza was good at treating cancer, among other evils of considerable gravity. He then argued that this was but an exaggeration of his authorship to make his product known, which is tantamount to acknowledging that he lied to increase his sales.
After an exhaustive investigation by the relevant authorities, it was found that the defender of the Nopalinaza incurred the crime of illicit enrichment.
To this slip were added other crimes, such as unfair competition and misleading advertising, because with the Nopalinaza were made health promises that could not be met.
The defendant was therefore found guilty and the Nopalinaza ads were removed from the media because they disseminated false, unproven and fraudulent information that indirectly persuaded patients to change their regular medical treatment for that product of dubious effectiveness.
In this way, the main risk of Nopalinaza lies not only in that it has no curative effect, but in that those who take it believe that it does and that is why they abandon their real medicines for one whose efficiency has not been proven.
This contributes to the improvement of your illness. And it was what moved the Peruvian courts to condemn the Nopalinaza and one of its defenders in his country.
