1. What is Nopalea?
   Nopalea is a deliciously unique concentrated wellness drink that blends antioxidant-rich Nopal cactus, naturally sweet Agave nectar and an array of beneficial nutrients. These fresh ingredients are carefully harvested from the Sonoran Desert and aseptically bottled to deliver scientifically proven health benefits.
2. What does the name Nopalea mean?
   The name is derived from the word “Nopal.” This is a type of cactus found in the Sonoran Desert and known for its antioxidant-rich healing properties. The Nopal cactus fruit is the key ingredient in Nopalea.
3. What are the key benefits of Nopalea?
   Betalain antioxidants in Nopalea have been scientifically proven to help your body:
   • Protect against premature aging
   • Reduce inflammation
   • Promote optimal cellular health
   • Detoxify

   Explore the health benefits.

4. What type of fruit is the Nopalea juice made from?
   The Nopal cactus fruit is key ingredient in Nopalea. The fruit is carefully harvested from the Sonoran Desert, using sustainable wildcrafting techniques that the native Sonorans have used for thousands of years.
5. What makes Nopalea so unique?
   Nopalea contains a rare and potent class of antioxidants called betalains. Of all the known sources for betalains, the Nopal cactus fruit supplies some of the highest amounts found in all of nature.
6. How is Nopalea different from other Superfruit concentrates products?
   While many superfruit liquid wellness concentrates are available today such as Noni, Mangosteen, and Acai, Nopalea is made from the purest and freshest Opuntia Ficus Indica (Nopal) cactus that produces a antioxidant rich Superfruit. This powerful Superfruit is unique in that it contains a rare class of Antioxidant called Betalain. The Betalain antioxidant is scientifically studied and proven to help the body detoxify itself from harmful environmental toxins which help reduce and protect against inflammation. Inflammation is now considered the number one precursor to dangerous and life threatening disease.
7. With so many Superfruit products available why should I use an Opuntia Ficus Indica (Nopal) product over an Acai, Noni or Mangosteen product?
   There are many superfruits available and they all contain antioxidants to help slow the aging process and fight free radicals. However, none of them have the clinical research that Opuntia Ficus Indica does on helping the body detoxify and reduce inflammation. Because science has proven inflammation is a serious cause for disease Opuntia Ficus Indica could be a more prudent selection.
8. What are betalains?
   Betalains are a rare and potent class of antioxidants found in extremely high, concentrated levels in the Nopal cactus fruit. When you drink Nopalea, you take these betalains directly into your system, where they work on the cellular level to restore your vitality.

   Scientific research shows that the betalains found in the Nopal cactus fruit can help to detoxify your body, eliminating the poisons we encounter every day. Betalains also help the body reduce inflammation, protecting you from a wide variety of disorders. Learn more about betalains.

9. How else can I get Betalain antioxidants in my diet?
   There are 24 types of Betalains known to science each one having a different function. Beets contain up to 6 of the 24 Betalains; Rainbow Swiss chard contains 12 Betalains. Nopal fruit can contain up to all 24 Betalain types, especially the Opuntia Ficus Indica Nopal fruit from the Sonora Desert. There are many species of Nopal that grow around the world. Opuntia Ficus Indica thrives in the extreme environment of the Sonora Desert and when wild-harvested at the peak of ripeness can contain all 24 Betalain types.
10. How is the Betalain antioxidant different from other Superfruit antioxidants?
    Betalains are a protein-bound antioxidant that does more than help slow aging. Betalain antioxidants can help the body reduce inflammation, detoxify the cell and restore the balance between the inside and outside of the cell for optimal cellular function. While many antioxidants have been claimed to have different health benefits, the Betalain antioxidant is specifically studied to help the body reduce inflammation on a measurable and therapeutic level. Multiple studies show that Betalain antioxidants can help the human cell detoxify and remove unwanted and dangerous toxins which help reduce inflammation.
11. What makes Nopalea so effective?
    Quality! Nopalea is made from premium, antioxidant-rich Nopal cactus fruit. This fruit is carefully harvested from the Sonoran Desert, using the same techniques the native Sonorans have been using for thousands of years. From there, the fruit is juiced to a puree and bottled in a state-of-the-art facility, which ensures quality and freshness while also preserving the antioxidants and their potency. Learn more about our harvesting and bottling process.
12. What kind of scientific research has been done on Nopal cactus?
    To date, 287 scientific papers have been published on the benefits and attributes of Nopal. These are found in the highest quality, peer-reviewed journals. These are supported by the National Institutes of Health database to insure that the conclusions are valid. They report improvements in cell function, immunity, detoxification and especially a reduction in inflammation.
13. How does TriVita ensure the quality of Nopalea?
    Like all TriVita products, Nopalea is created in accordance with our company’s 10 Foundational Values. These Values ensure the quality of Nopalea, which is made under the strictest quality controls in the nutritional supplement industry. All of the Nopalea manufacturing and laboratory processes meet or exceed the most current Good Manufacturing Practices, as published by the Food and Drug Administration.
14. Does Nopalea contain any added sugar or artificial sweeteners, flavors or colors?
    No.
15. With so many Superfruit concentrates containing such high amounts of sugar and calories, how does Nopalea stack up?
    The fruit of the Nopal cactus is naturally sweet and low in both calories and carbohydrates. Nopalea contains no added sugar or artificial sweeteners. A single serving (1 ounce) contains less than 3 gram of carbohydrates and only 11 calories.
16. Are there any preservatives in Nopalea?
    No.
17. How does Nopalea compare from a price standpoint to other superfruit concentrates?
    Nopalea is currently known to be the only preservative-free Nopal liquid concentrate that is using the Sonoran Desert Opuntia Ficus Indica (Nopal) cactus and bottled under strict aseptic conditions. Being it is such a new and unique product to the marketplace it is difficult to compare it to similar products. When comparing to other superfruit branded products Nopalea case price of $34.99USD per bottle falls within the middle of a low to high price range.
18. Is Nopalea safe for everyone?
    Yes. Nopalea is a natural, concentrated wellness drink made from Nopal cactus fruit, which is harvested from the Sonoran Desert at the peak of its freshness. From there, the fruit is juiced to a puree and bottled in a state-of-the-art facility, which ensures quality and freshness while also preserving the antioxidants and their potency. Learn more about our harvesting and bottling process.
19. How much Nopalea should I take?
    When taking Nopalea for the first time, drink 3 to 6 ounces each day, for 30 days. For maintenance, drink 1 to 3 ounces daily, depending on your body’s inflammation-fighting needs.
20. Is it safe to take Nopalea with medication?
    There are no known contraindications with Nopalea and medications. However, Nopalea is a dietary supplement. If you are taking any medications or have a known medical condition, it’s best to consult with your health care provider before drinking Nopalea.
21. Should I continue taking vitamins and minerals if I drink Nopalea regularly?
    Yes. Nopalea drives down inflammation created by trauma, toxins, allergy, infection and nutrient deficiency. To protect yourself from the nutrient deficiencies that can be a cause of inflammation, you should supplement your healthy diet with daily nutrients.
22. How can I ensure the product maintains its freshness?
    The Nopal fruits used in Nopalea are harvested at their peak, variances in taste and color can occur between batches due to varying environmental conditions. As this product is natural and does not contain any preservatives, these variances may be noticeable in the product. This is a natural occurrence and does not affect the efficacy of the product in any way. To optimize product freshness and to best maintain the product’s natural color and taste please refrigerate bottle upon receiving shipment, do not drink directly from bottle and consume within 30 days of opening.

Chronic pain can be a sign of inflammation. It is also something that our body experiences on a daily basis. Toxic pollutants are present in the air we breathe, the water we drink and the food we eat. Chemicals are also found in the environment where we live, work, study and play. Our bodies use infl ammation as a natural defense against these types of stressors in addition to emotional, mental and physical stress. However, chronic infl ammation can cause poor health that may lead to serious diseases. Serious conditions that may begin with inflammation:
Fibromyalgia
Diabetes
Allergies
Asthma
Alzheimer’s
Arthritis
Autoimmune
Cardiovascular
Neurological
Respiratory and more!

Have you experienced the biggest innovation in the history of TriVita?
It’s Nopalea, the delicious wellness drink now available to help everyone thrive. Nopalea (“No-pah lay’ uh”) is a tasty wellness drink sourced from the fruit of the Nopal cactus (Opuntia Ficus Indica). This remarkable healing plant thrives in the Sonoran Desert of the southwestern
U.S. and Mexico. The healing properties of the Nopal cactus have been relied on for centuries by native peoples, and they’re now available in Nopalea, the first product in TriVita’s exclusive Sonoran Bloom

The word “science” comes from a Greek word meaning “to know.” Yet it seems that the more we learn about nature, the more it defines the
boundaries of what we do not know! It is like science in reverse: the more we learn, the more we realize how little we know. A relatively new discovery has merged ingredients in nature in a way that science did not know was possible. These nutrients are called Betalains. Betalains
were originally thought to be just a pigment – an inert color that made a plant pretty, but imparted no real health benefit. As time progressed, science discovered that the protein structure of Betalains is not only beneficial – it is vital for life! Soon, the antioxidant value of Betalains
opened the door of discovery: Betalains exist in a wide variety (there are 24 Betalains), and each one completes a specific need in human health by supplying structure and function to every human cell.
Important functions of Betalains
A cell distressed by external toxins and internal defi ciencies will eventually wither, collapse and die. If more cells die than can be replaced, we slip into a kind of “deficit spending” and our lean body mass withers. This is called sarcopenia or premature aging. Betalains can be used to shore up or strengthen the cell wall. This leads to rehydration of the cell and repair of sarcopenia, premature aging. A cell in the human body is very
much like a water balloon; tremendous internal pressure held in place by a thin membrane. Your body maintains this pressure by keeping a perfect balance of minerals inside and outside the cell wall. If this balance of minerals shifts, the membrane becomes unstable and the “water” pours out; the cell dies. The mineral balancing effects of Betalains relentlessly work to maintain a 2:1 ratio of minerals: potassium inside the cell, sodium outside the cell; magnesium inside the cell, calcium outside the cell and so on. This maintains the integrity of the cell wall and keeps the cell from “popping” – dying prematurely. Speaking of “popping” a cell, nothing pops a cell like a toxin! We are exposed to toxins from the air we breathe, the water we drink and the food we eat. We are also exposed to toxins from within our own body: allergies, bacteria, viruses and metabolism. Betalains support the structure and function of the cell as mentioned before. They also work to neutralize toxins by supporting your natural detoxification processes as well as draining away accumulations of toxic waste. If toxins accumulate or trauma injures a cell, if stress creates tension or if nutrient deficiency weakens a cell, then chronic inflammation is certain to appear. Chronic inflammation is at the heart of the most feared diseases we face: heart attack, cancer, stroke, asthma, diabetes and others. Betalains serve as anti-infl ammatory
nutrients to help quench the fire of  chronic infl ammation. Regardless of where infl ammation begins or what process it affects, Betalains help reduce the activity of the enzymes known to cause all infl ammation. This explains why people with very diverse health concerns fi nd benefi ts from Betalains: they help reduce infl ammation no matter where it exists!
Concentrated Betalains
As mentioned before, science has discovered 24 Betalains, each with a different structure and different function. Some vegetables (beets and rainbow chard) contain a few Betalains; some desert plants contain a few more. Only the Nopal cactus of the Sonoran Desert contains all 24 Betalains. This is because the Sonoran Desert is the most extreme desert in the world and the Nopal plant needs all 24 Betalains to survive in this
intense environment. How about you? Is your environment so intense that you are threatened by chronic infl ammation? Are you exposed
to toxins from outside and inside your body? Do you feel that you are aging a bit quicker than you would like? If so, perhaps the emerging science of Betalains – the anti-infl ammatory protein/antioxidant complex from the Sonoran Desert – can help you live a longer, happier life!

Recently, a series of forest fires ravaged the landscape in Southern California. One particular fire burned many fine homes. The firefighters worked through the night to extinguish the fire and they were making progress. However, with the dawn came a change in circumstances: an increase in heat, a reduction in humidity and hot, dry winds from the south brought dry air and a fresh supply of oxygen that intensified the fire. Soon, a firestorm erupted creating flaming tornadoes.

That is the perfect illustration of the inflammation that can occur in the human body. What may begin as a single spark of inflammation may erupt into an inflammatory disease that engulfs our entire body and threatens our life. Efforts to combat the inflammation may be affected by external forces that fan the flames until we are consumed.

Causes of inflammation
There are four common causes of inflammation:

• Trauma or injury
• Toxins and poisons
• Deficiencies of various kinds
• Emotional distress

Any of these factors may trigger the start of inflammation or increase the intensity of the heat by adding fuel to the fire.

An example of this may be inflammation triggered by toxins and fueled by emotional distress. Gout is a form of inflammation strongly linked to toxicity. For example, gout may be triggered in susceptible people by environmental toxins like carbon tetrachloride or dietary toxins such as HCFS (high fructose corn syrup) found in soft drinks. Gout may also be triggered by depression associated with loss, or by anxiety associated with chronic emotional distress. A new round of gout may be triggered by simple trauma to a previously affected toe or possibly a Vitamin C deficiency.

Adding multiple sources of inflammation together may trigger a firestorm of inflammation that rages out of control - creating serious signs of disease.

Triggers: known and unknown
The firefighters mentioned above lost that particular battle with the forest fire because they could not foresee all of the influences hampering their efforts. The same is true with us:

• We can not always foresee all of the inflammation triggers we face
• We can not always tell when we trigger the process of inflammation

While we may remember our last soft drink, we may not know when we last breathed carbon tetrachloride, ate fruits and vegetables deficient in Vitamin C, or created micro-trauma by our sleeping position, sedentary lifestyle or choice of shoes. We may also not readily discern the impact of internalized stress.

I recently encountered three people who had different forms of inflammation. One individual suffered from episodes of gout, the second from chronic colitis and the third from osteoarthritis of the knees. They all experienced fast and profound benefits from Nopalea with its anti-inflammatory Betalains. They also later experienced a flare-up of symptoms when their life changed. In all three cases the inflammation appeared to be triggered by severe emotional upset: loss of a spouse, loss of a sibling and loss of a job.

Trying to quench the fire of inflammation created by these emotional extremes with a minimum serving of Nopalea was like trying to quench a forest fire with a single pail of water! We need to judge the severity of the inflammation and meet it with the appropriate anti-inflammatory response if we are to be successful. Don’t be afraid to use 3 ounces or 6 ounces every day for a real “Betalain-Boost”!

Conclusion
When we experience any sign or symptom of distress we should interpret it as a communication from our body to our mind that something is wrong. The frequency, intensity and duration of the inflammation will determine how we should escalate our response.

As detectives we solve the mystery of pain by analyzing the four causes of inflammation. However, we must also realize that our ability to solve these puzzles is limited by our knowledge. The more we know about how we work, the greater the opportunity we have to discern the causes of inflammation, create an appropriate, strategic response and successfully put out the fire. I encourage you to listen to my audio book, “Body Systems 101″ for an introduction to this concept.
