Not all Nopal juice are created the same. Since 1994, out of Nopal cactus, products like Nopal Juice, Nopal Juice Extract, and most recently, Nopalea, which is Nopal in Spanish, have hit the market in an attempt to capture the consumers' attention. But some of these products are less than what they advertise to be and when we have finished reviewing their differences here, you will understand each product's potency, effectiveness, and its real cost to the consumers. Nopal Juice: The manufacturing process implies that it extracts juices out of Nopal. Yes, it's 100% juice, but due to its manufacturing process, the 18 amino acids usually found in Nopal Cactus will not be absorbed by the human body when we drink this particular juice. Nopalea Review: Under the current law, you have to list all your ingredients outside of the bottle for what you sell for a product like Nopalea. If you read the label of Nopalea Ingredients, there is probably only 5%~10% nopal juice in a bottle. The highest content in the bottle is distilled water (you have to list your ingredients in sequence of what you use the most as the first ingredient), which means, a good portion of your money goes to pay for water and the shipping cost. Nopal Juice Extract Review: The only manufacturer that produces extract is Desert Bloom LLC. We have the longest history of studying, research, development, and manufacturing nopal juice extract. We possess a patented processing procedure that includes, heating, evaporation, and fermentation. Heating Process- Amino Acids needs to be preheated for them to be effectively absorbed by human body. Not just any any amount of heat will do, but the heat must reach a specific temperature ( trade secret) in order for the amino acids to be readily absorbed by the human digestion system. Evaporation- Desert Bloom Nopal Juice Extract is 30 times more potent than a single strength juice. Our first version of juice was 10 times in potency. As discovery and technology improved, it went to 20 times, and now 30 times in potency. Why increase to 30 times when 10 is already such an impressive number? So that most people would feel the benefit of the juice within the first or second bottle. Also, since most consumers have easy access to drinking water, we don't want to sell water to the consumer and, adding insult to injury, have them pay shipping on top of it. If you compare our cost of production to other manufacturers', it is a tremendous difference. Fermentation- Do you know why Asians ferment vegetables to become kimchi? It's not just to preserve, it increases the nutrition value at least 10 times. Our juice is fermented for at least 30 days before bottling. No one will pay an OEM manufacture for this process as the cost is prohibitively expensive. We own our FDA approved manufacturing facility. To provide the very best for our clients, we are willing to invest more into our manufacturing plant than other... [ Read More (0.3k in body) ] Nopal Juice, Nopalea, Nopal Extract Juice Review |
