Nopal cactus leaves are first cleaned, then freeze-dried and then ground into a fine powder. Once the nopal powder enters the stomach it quickly absorbs moisture like a sponge, giving you a natural feeling of fullness. In addition, the water-soluble sugars in the stomach are also absorbed and temporarily held in this mucilaginous mass. This temporary absorption by the fiber will help keep the blood sugar level from spiking immediately after a meal. Eventually, the water and sugars are released as this fibrous jelly-like mass works its way though the digestive system. As a third benefit, taking a lot of nopal cactus capsules can aid in colon-cleansing. |
Control hunger without diet-pills
Most diet pills offering easy weight-loss, do so by affecting your metabolism which in turn can affect your mood and sense of stability. Nopal Cactus leaves are simply Nature’s storage tank for water that allows this plant to survive under drought and desert conditions. The high content of mucilaginous fibers in nopal holds the water inside the cactus leaves in a jelly-like gooey mass. This water-storage capacity has developed through natural selection over the millennia which allows the plant to retain its moisture in case of leaf breakage by a bird, rock or wind, so that all the water does not come pouring out. Hundreds of years ago, it was discovered in Mexico that the same properties allow the Nopal to be an excellent natural diet control aid.3 Responses

Have many people taken the Nopal Cactus? Any side affects? Stomach upset, etc.?
Seagate responds — Seagate has been manufacturing and selling the Nopal since 2007. We have sold tens of thousands of bottles. There has not been reported a single case of any side effect. It is not only taken for diet purposes but also to help relieve stomach upset … because of its absorptive properties (similar to to the concept of using baking soda). It does not cause stomach upset.

I know baking soda relieves allergy reaction ( you mentioned baking soda) does this product help allergies by absorbing allergens?
Does it have calories
Seagate replies - Seagate replies - No no one at Seagate recommended baking soda for allergies. The product peolpe generally use for this is the Grape Seed Extract which has helped a lot of people with different allergies. Another suggestion — sometimes people use the Olive Leaf Nasal Spray to releave the syptoms of allergies if they have gone to the sinuses the sinuses or the Olive Leaf Extract capsules if it’s not really an allergy but a fungal disorder that is causing the discomfort.

can’t find diet product on your product list or do I know what the name is…how can I order?
Seagate replies - The product you are looking for is Nopal Cactus. When these capsules hit your stomach, the nopal powder expands as it absorbs water, temporarily forming a mass of mucilignous fiber that will make you feel full for a couple of hours without changing your metabolism or affecting how you feel. By the way, if you take enough of these capsules, they will act as an excellent colon cleanse. Hope this helps. Thank you Seagate
