Nopal is a special ingredient that blocks fats from the diet. Which has a synergistic action on the retention of fats and cholesterol. In this way, the action of pancreatic lipases in the duodenum is avoided, so that fats are not hydrolyzed into minor molecules (glycerol, fatty acids and free cholesterol), avoiding their absorption at the intestinal level and being directly eliminated at the fecal level. . No type of side effect attributable to the consumption of nopal has been registered, nor interactions with other treatments, with the exception of lipid blocking, so it is recommended not to use together with lipid-type ingredients, since it could decrease the absorption of said substance.
