PROPERTIES
Calcium contributes to normal muscle function and reduces the loss of bone mineral density in postmenopausal women (50 years and over).
Low bone mineral density is a risk factor for osteoporotic fractures.*
8 g of nopal, or 3 teaspoons, contains 432 mg of calcium.
Magnesium helps reduce fatigue and increase the normal functioning of the nervous system.
(*) All sources of intake combined, the daily consumption of calcium for women aged 50 and over is at least 1200 mg.
USAGE
Recommended dose: 1 teaspoon 3 times a day.
Its good content of mucilaginous fibers (minimum 30%) so called pectin gives to the preparations a velvety texture: smoothies, sauces, dressings or incorporated in a guacamole or a dip.
