A blood sugar support supplement with minimal potassium, making it inefficient for general health, fitness, or energy goals.
This product's primary function is to support healthy blood sugar levels, a niche but important health goal. Nopal cactus is the key ingredient, recognized for its fiber content and potential effects on glucose metabolism. The inclusion of 100mg of potassium, along with small amounts of iron and calcium, is secondary to this main purpose. While maintaining stable blood sugar can indirectly support overall energy, this product is not formulated as an electrolyte supplement or a direct performance enhancer. Nutritionists would recommend it for its primary blood sugar benefits, not for its minimal potassium contribution to the listed goals.
- Primary ingredient, Nopal cactus, is known for blood sugar support.
- Also contains some calcium and iron.
- Very low potassium content (100mg) is negligible for the stated broad goals.
- Expensive if considered for its minor potassium contribution.
- Not designed or effective as a primary supplement for heart health, fitness, muscle gain, or energy.
- Individuals managing blood sugar should consult a healthcare professional before use, as supplements can interact with medications.

Potassium 25.0
The potassium content is very low (100mg) and secondary to the product's main purpose, making it an impractical choice for dedicated potassium supplementation.
Goals
Heart Health 15.0
Nopal may have some indirect cardiovascular benefits through blood sugar control, but the potassium content is far too low for a direct and significant heart health impact.
Fitness 15.0
Its primary mechanism is blood sugar regulation, with negligible direct impact on fitness performance or electrolyte balance crucial for intense activity.
Muscle Gain 15.0
This product offers no direct or significant indirect contribution to muscle gain, as its focus is specifically on blood sugar management.
