Nopalea – More About Betalains

Everyone who has tried Nopalea agrees, it just tastes great and it serves up jaw dropping results when it comes to 13-57B3018fighting chronic inflammation. But, did you know that this breakthrough wellness drink contains a unique class of nutrients called Betalains? Betalains are Bioflavonoids in the Quercetin family.

A Bioflavonoid is a vitamin like substance that works in concert with antioxidants like Vitamin C. They are useful in helping us to make collagen so our skin looks young, and strengthening blood vessels so we don’t bruise easily. Bioflavonoids help us resist allergens and infection from bacteria and viruses.   They  also have anti-inflammatory properties.

Quercetins are founds in foods we eat every day such as apples and onions. They are important in medical science because high intake of Quercetins coating foods results in low incidence of cancer and heart disease.

Betalains are the orphaned ‘grandchildren’ of Quercetins. None of the plant species related in the development of Betalains have survived the test of time, they have all become extinct except for beets, Swiss Chard and Nopal fruit,  plants that are not even ‘distant cousins’ in the world of fruits and vegetables.

However, all 24 known Betalains are very important for human health. It is especially true today because they are all anti-toxin and anti-inflammatory. Environmental experts report dramatic increases in disease producing toxins in air, water and soil. Toxins produce inflammation, and most of the diseases we face start with inflammation: Alzheimer’s, cancer, heart disease, etc.

Betalain content develops in response to the environment in which the plant grows. The more extreme the environment, the more protective Betalains the plant needs to produce in order to survive, and the more benefits we get when we consume the fruits and leaves of these plants.

So, while we get a few benefits from beets and rainbow Swiss Chard, we get the greatest benefit from the specific Nopal fruit of the Sonoran Desert because it contains all 24 known Betalains.
