The wellness benefits of Nopalea are found in several aspects, it contains an unparalleled anti-oxidant, Betalains. It detoxifies the body at the cellular level and It is a powerful anti-inflammatory. Inflammation is becoming more and more widely recognized as a primary factor in many of the major ills besetting mankind today.

Quoting an article on Inflammation found at www.achooallergy.com,

"Most allergy and asthma sufferers are all too familiar with inflammation, but you may not realize that inflammation also plays a key role in arthritis, diabetes, heart disease, irritable bowel syndrome, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and many others. Over the past few decades, scientists have realized that the process of inflammation is virtually the same in different diseases, and a better understanding of inflammation may lead to better treatments for numerous diseases. Inflammation is a hot topic in medical research. Just last month, researchers at U.C. San Diego found a link between inflammation and cancer in the form of a specific protein. In a seperate study last month, psychiatrists at King's College in London found that people who were physically or sexually abused as children are twice as likely to have inflammatory proteins in their blood..."

Later in the same article, they point to a study by the New England Journal of Medicine in 2001 which showed an "80% reduction in the risk of Alzheimer's among those taking anti-inflammatory medicines daily for 2 years."

They also reported that, "In fact, inflammation is so closely associated with heart disease that many doctors now use use a test for inflammation called CRP (C-reactive protein) to assess a person's risk of heart attack. Research shows that CRP can predict the risk of heart attack and stroke as well or better than cholesterol levels." (emphasis mine)
