General Questions

What can I expect?

A: As you drink the Nopal cactus juice with its rare anti-inflammatory Betalains, these Betalains will first go to the area, tissue, or system where inflammation is the greatest; because of this, effects will differ from person to person depending on your body’s specific needs. Regardless of where the Betalains are targeting, you may notice a change in your elimination. Your body eliminates toxins and waste using water as its transport. As the Betalains release the toxic water that your body is storing, you may see an increase in urine output and/or looser stools. Make sure to replenish your body with plenty (8-10, 8oz glasses daily) of fresh, clean water.

- Should you have inflammation in your joints and/or muscles, you may see increased flexibility and range of motion, as well as alleviated pain. To see your progress, measure your starting range of motion and compare to your measurement after the 60-90 day loading phase.

- If there is inflammation in your brain or central nervous system, you may notice a change in attitude, mood, mental clarity, focus, sleeping or dreaming patterns, stamina, an increase in general activity level, and an “overall sense of well-being”.

- Inflammation in the vital organs may not produce such a visible effect. Some people may notice a tired or drowsy feeling and increased elimination.

- What you are feeling is an indication of where the Betalains are finding the most inflammation. If there is discomfort, drink more water and either write Kare at Kare@KaresCactusJuice.com or call a Health Coach at: (727)397-0202.

Can I drink this juice while on medications? Will this juice interfere with my medications?

A: This juice is a whole food product and will not interfere with any medications, simply add the juice to your daily routine. (**The only reason to not drink this juice if you are not allowed to eat any fruits.)

How long will it take for me to see any results/pain relief?

A: This will be a process, not an event. You may see/feel results after your first bottle, or you may not notice any measurable changes until you are through with your 60-90 day loading phase. The important thing to remember is that your pain and inflammation didn’t happen overnight, therefore the healing process will not be instantaneous.

How long should I continue to drink the juice?

A: You should drink 3oz twice a day during the loading phase, which is your first 60-90 days. After your loading phase is through and all of your tissues are thoroughly saturated, your Health Coach will help you create a personalized maintenance plan. Some people continue drinking a bottle per week and others drink as little as 1-2 ounces daily, it all depends on your body’s specific needs and inflammation.

How much water should I be drinking?

A: A lot! A good amount of water is 8-10, 8oz glasses per day. The quality of the water you drink is just as important as the quantity. You should consume filtered water only; tap water is full of sediment, chlorine, bacteria, and other undesirables. It is also important to note that other juices, soda, coffee, and sports drinks do not count as water.

Juice Specific Questions

How is this cactus juice different from other superfruit concentrates and products?

A: This juice is made from Opuntia Ficus Indica (Nopal) cactus fruit. Nopal cactus fruit is unique in that it contains a rare type of Antioxidant called Betalain. Additionally, all 24 Betalain types are found in the Nopal cactus fruit. These Betalains have been studied and proven to naturally reduce inflammation which is the root of nearly all pain and degenerative disease.

What other ingredients are in this cactus juice?

A: This juice is filled with pure organic fruit: the fruit of the Nopal cactus and the Agave cactus which have been hand-picked and cold pressed. This fruit is very sweet but has almost no taste, so they have then taken 16 other organic or wild crafted hand-picked fruits and concentrated them into an extract, only a few drops of this extract is added for flavor. Then this is all bottled in a purely nitrogen environment so that the juice never touches air and no preservatives or chemicals need to be added. This bottle of Nopal cactus juice is pure raw food.

Can I drink more than the recommended daily amount?

A: Yes! Your body is wise and could be telling you that you need more Betalains to reduce your inflammation through cravings. Drink as much cactus juice as you’d like while staying in your comfort zone. We have had people drink anywhere from half a bottle to a full bottle in one day, which can hasten your body’s response time to the Betalains. Just know that it can also mean you will most likely be eliminating a little more than usual.

Are there any side effects?

A: Apart from living pain free, no. This is a fruit juice. If you can eat fruit safely, you can drink this cactus juice.

The color of my juice varies between bottles, why?

A: You will notice that season to season the juice will be different colors, more magenta in the winter, and deeper colored in the summer. While harvesting the fruit at different times yields at different color and a slight change to taste, the company does monitor the fruit to make sure the number of Betalains remain constant.

How much Potassium is in Nopalea?

A: There is a small amount of potassium in the cactus juice: 10 mg per ounce.

Can I give this juice to my child or pet?

A: Yes! This cactus juice is safe for children and pets. Children and pets should be given lesser quantities depending on weight and should be monitored. We also have a kids multi-vitamin chew that contains some nopal cactus fruit among other vitamins. (Adults around here have been known to snack on these throughout the day as a tasty treat as well.)

Should I be concerned about the Nopal Cactus being depleted?

A: No. The Nopal Cactus is plentiful and is maintained on private and publicly owned land. The cacti produce fruit twice per year and each fruit is carefully hand-picked to ensure sustainability.

Condition Specific Questions

I’m a diabetic, can I drink this juice?

A: Yes! The glycemic index of the cactus juice is less than 1 and the juice has no added sugar or artificial sweeteners. The natural sugar in the Nopal cactus fruit is digested as slowly as fiber, and over time will actually assist in stabilizing blood sugar. The only difference is that while we usually recommend that the juice is drank on an empty stomach, for diabetics, we suggest that you drink it with food, just to be sure it doesn’t spike any blood sugar levels. If you are drinking the juice with food and your blood sugar levels are still spiking, add a fiber supplement to the juice or increase the fiber in the meal you are eating with the juice. This is usually something that only happens at the very beginning while everything in your body is readjusting. If you have questions about this, please feel free to write Kare at Kare@KaresCactusJuice.com or call a Health Coach at: (727)397-0202.

I have a poor libido, will this juice help?

A: The cactus juice has nitric oxide that is also found in Viagra. Nitric oxide oxygenates the cells and increases blood flow. This cactus juice may help increase your libido, and can also increase your energy level which may be what you are lacking.

I have digestive issues like colitis, irritable bowel syndrome, Crohn’s disease, or diverticulitis. How will this cactus juice affect me?

A: Digestive issues, including bloating and gas, have a major involvement with inflammation. The Betalains in the cactus juice are inflammation seekers; they seek out inflammation and begin to release the toxic waters that are held in the tissues causing the pain and degeneration. When the inflammation is gone, the body can heal itself. We often recommend drinking the juice on an empty stomach, but in this case we suggest you drink it with meals at least for the first few weeks so that the release of the toxins doesn’t cause you more discomfort. You can also try starting off with a smaller amount of juice, like 1 ounce twice a day and working your way up to 3 ounces of juice twice a day.
