Neopuntia™ is a branded raw material made from 100% organic nopal prickly pear leaves (Opuntia ficus-indica). It is a completely plant-based, patented and clinically tested cactus leaf powder intended for consumption after rich meals. The powder, standardised to over 35% lipophilic and hydrophilic functional fibres, comes from the renowned French manufacturer Nexira and is produced entirely without the use of solvents.
The prickly pear plants are cultivated in Tunisia under controlled organic and optimal climatic conditions. The leaves of the prickly pears are gently harvested by hand to avoid damaging the sensitive plants., then dried at low temperatures and ground into a fine powder. The result is a 100% pure nopal prickly pear leaf powder – no additives or carriers.
