Planetary Herbals Full Spectrum™ Nopal Cactus, 240 Tablets

Planetary Herbals Full Spectrum™ Nopal Cactus is a dietary supplement formulated to support healthy glucose levels as part of a balanced diet and exercise routine. It provides 1 gram of prickly pear leaf per tablet, sourced from the flesh of the cactus pad to deliver a full spectrum of its natural compounds, including polysaccharides, pectins, and mucilages that are noted in traditional herbalism and contemporary research for their role in slowing sugar absorption.

This product uses the Full Spectrum™ extraction method, which the manufacturer states preserves the cactus's broad array of beneficial compounds, such as antioxidants like beta-carotene and vitamin C. The formulation is based on prickly pear cactus (Opuntia spp.), a plant with a long history of use in Central and South American cultures as a nutritious food and herbal remedy. Animal and human studies referenced by the manufacturer suggest nopal cactus may help balance fluids and electrolytes, areas often linked to blood sugar management.

Available in a 240-tablet bottle, it is taken as one tablet daily with a meal and water. The product is also offered in 60- and 120-tablet sizes for different usage needs.
