Nopalea’s pre-launch City Tour ends

TriVita, Inc. announced the results of its Nopalea™ Pre-Launch 15 City Tour which came to a close on June 18, 2009. In city after city, record attendances and enrollments were set, only to be shattered later. This broad enthusiasm and product acceptance produced record sales figures for a new product launch, unequaled in TriVita’s 10-year history. Another effect is an ongoing flood of testimonials from Members about their life-changing experiences with Nopalea. Results like these only serve to reinforce the position that Nopalea will be TriVita’s first billion dollar product.

Find Out The Answers To Questions on Nopalea

I have had many people asking me questions about Nopalea. If you’ve read the information I have on this blog, you’ll see the health benefits but I want to address some of the key questions that continue to come up that I haven’t answered in this blog.

What does the name Nopalea mean?
The name is derived from the word “Nopal.” This is a type of cactus found in the Sonoran Desert and known for its antioxidant-rich healing properties. The Nopal cactus fruit is the key ingredient in Nopalea.

What type of fruit is the Nopalea juice made from?
The Nopal cactus fruit is key ingredient in Nopalea. The fruit is carefully harvested from the Sonoran Desert, using sustainable wildcrafting techniques that the native Sonorans have used for thousands of years.

What makes Nopalea so unique?
Nopalea contains a rare and potent class of antioxidants called betalains. Of all the known sources for betalains, the Nopal cactus fruit supplies some of the highest amounts found in all of nature.

How is Nopalea different from other Superfruit concentrates products?
While many superfruit liquid wellness concentrates are available today such as Noni, Mangosteen, and Acai, Nopalea is made from the purest and freshest Opuntia Ficus Indica (Nopal) cactus that produces a antioxidant rich Superfruit. This powerful Superfruit is unique in that it contains a rare class of Antioxidant called Betalain. The Betalain antioxidant is scientifically studied and proven to help the body detoxify itself from harmful environmental toxins which help reduce and protect against inflammation. Inflammation is now considered the number one precursor to dangerous and life threatening disease.

With so many Superfruit products available why should I use an Opuntia Ficus Indica (Nopal) product over an Acai, Noni or Mangosteen product?
There are many superfruits available and they all contain antioxidants to help slow the aging process and fight free radicals. However, none of them have the clinical research that Opuntia Ficus Indica does on helping the body detoxify and reduce inflammation. Because science has proven inflammation is a serious cause for disease Opuntia Ficus Indica could be a more prudent selection.

What are betalains?
Betalains are a rare and potent class of antioxidants found in extremely high, concentrated levels in the Nopal cactus fruit. When you drink Nopalea, you take these betalains directly into your system, where they work on the cellular level to restore your vitality.

Scientific research shows that the betalains found in the Nopal cactus fruit can help to detoxify your body, eliminating the poisons we encounter every day. Betalains also help the body reduce inflammation, protecting you from a wide variety of disorders.

How else can I get Betalain antioxidants in my diet?
There are 24 types of Betalains known to science each one having a different function. Beets contain up to 6 of the 24 Betalains; Rainbow Swiss chard contains 12 Betalains. Nopal fruit can contain up to all 24 Betalain types, especially the Opuntia Ficus Indica Nopal fruit from the Sonora Desert. There are many species of Nopal that grow around the world. Opuntia Ficus Indica thrives in the extreme environment of the Sonora Desert and when wild-harvested at the peak of ripeness can contain all 24 Betalain types.

How is the Betalain antioxidant different from other Superfruit antioxidants?
Betalains are a protein-bound antioxidant that does more than help slow aging. Betalain antioxidants can help the body reduce inflammation, detoxify the cell and restore the balance between the inside and outside of the cell for optimal cellular function. While many antioxidants have been claimed to have different health benefits, the Betalain antioxidant is specifically studied to help the body reduce inflammation on a measurable and therapeutic level. Multiple studies show that Betalain antioxidants can help the human cell detoxify and remove unwanted and dangerous toxins which help reduce inflammation.

But the best way to find out more about Nopalea is to try it. Not only is it good for you but it tastes good.

Nopalea and a Closer Look at the Science

TriVita has had 2 years of clinical studies proving the health benefits of Nopalea. There have been over 100 scientific studies and the prickly pear cactus which this breakthrough wellness drink is based upon has had over 278 studies.

On the Sonoran Bloom Nopalea site, some of the studies are listed but if you’re like me, you have a hard time deciphering those studies.

Yes, Nopalea can benefit you by reducing inflammation and relieving all types of pain as well as normalize blood pressure and improve breathing difficulties caused by allergies or asthma as well as supporting your cardiovascular health and more but if you try and take a look at the science behind this, it may be confusing and so I am going to offer a looking glass view at one of the studies to help you.

On the sonoran bloom site, one of the references under anti-inflammatory is:

“Antioxidant betalains from cactus pear (Opuntia ficus-indica) inhibit endothelial ICAM-1 expression.” (Gentile C, Tesoriere L, Allegra M, Livrea MA, D’Alessio P. Ann N Y Acad Sci. 2004 Dec;1028:481-6.)

And if you research it, a summary says:

It has been suggested that some pigments would have antioxidant properties and that their presence in dietary constituents would contribute to reduce the risk of oxidative stress-correlated diseases. Among others, inflammatory response depends on redox status and may implicate oxidative stress. Vascular endothelial cells are a direct target of oxidative stress in inflammation. We have tested the impact of the free radical scavenger and antioxidant properties of betalains from the prickle pear in an in vitro model of endothelial cells. Here we show the capacity of betalains to protect endothelium from cytokine-induced redox state alteration, through ICAM-1 inhibition.

English please.

Okay, here’s a brief explanation of the above study to help you.

First, what is endothelial cells? Endothelial cells relate to the endothelium, the layer of flat cells lining the closed spaces of the body such as the inside of blood vessels, lymphatic vessels, the heart, and body cavities. By contrast, the outside layer of cells that covers all the free, open surfaces of the body including the skin and mucous membranes that communicate with the outside of the body is called the epithelium.

Okay great. Now you understand what the endothelial cells are but what is oxidative stress.

Your body constantly reacts with oxygen as you breathe and your cells produce energy. As a consequence of this activity, highly reactive molecules are produced known as free radicals. Free radicals interact with other molecules within cells. This can cause oxidative damage to proteins, membranes and genes. Oxidative damage has been implicated in the cause of many diseases such as cancer and Alzheimer’s and has an impact on the body’s aging process. External factors such as pollution, sunlight and smoking also trigger the production of free radicals.

And what is ICAM-1?

Although ICAM-1 is expressed constitutively at low levels on endothelial cells and on some lymphocytes and monocytes, its expression can be significantly increased in the presence of cytokines (TNFalpha, IL-1, IFNgamma) and reactive oxygen species. Depending upon cell type, ICAM-1 participates in trafficking of inflammatory cells, in cell:cell interactions during antigen presentation, in microbial pathogenesis, and in signal transduction through outside-in signaling events. Again, depending upon cell type examined, ICAM-1 engagement has been documented to activate specific kinases through phosphorylation, resulting in transcription factor activation and increased cytokine production, increased cell membrane protein expression, reactive oxygen species production, and cell proliferation.

And what is cytokine?

Cytokines are a category of signaling molecules that are used extensively in cellular communication. Cytokines are critical to the development and functioning of both the innate and adaptive immune response, although not limited to just the immune system. External signals such as cytokines may normally initiate a proliferative response through binding to cell surface receptors, but the ultimate outcome of the transduced signal can be substantially modulated, or even abrogated, by prevalent intracellular conditions.

So basically inhibiting ICAM-1 protects the endothelium from these cytokine-induced redox state alerations.

All clear now? Okay, maybe it’s a little difficult to understand the research behind this but all you have to do is try Nopalea and see if it works for you. There is a 60 day money back guarantee and even if you finish the bottle, you can get your money back.

Now that’s simple. Nopalea – change your health today.

Try Nopalea and see how it can help you and if you’d like to find out how you can also earn $500 to $2,000 by sharing Nopalea, call me on 856-264-7802 or go HERE to find out more.
