I live in Mexico and Nopal is all over. I started taking capsules 2-3 x a day with meals to help control blood sugar. I found I was more easily able to get a blood sample when doing a test in the morning. It has stopped my constipation.Cannot say it has helped with either stiffness or digestion, nor has it hurt.

2012 my husband's bad knee was causing him so much pain he could hardly walk. His mother introduced us to prickly pear fruit nectar.

2012 my husband's bad knee was causing him so much pain he could hardly walk. His mother introduced us to prickly pear fruit nectar. He would take 3 oz daily and within a few days all his pain was gone. We have also learned some extra perks of the nectar are blood sugar control, lowering of cholesterol and LDL levels, it is excellent for hydration if mixed into your water and we also love adding it into a refreshing glass of tea or lemonade. There has been some research that it also reduces acid in the body aiding in cancer treatment, I wish I had copied the source. We love it, and have learned to make our own we love it so much. I was experiencing some neuropathy in my feet and use it in conjunction with Apple cider vinegar to alleviate the symptoms.

I took prickly pear juice because I Was over weight. When I took 2 tbsp. in the morning I forgot about eating until about 2 p,m. The best thing about it was that felt full of energy without feeling over stimulated. I am a woman 77 years old.

I had much success in the past taking Prickly Pear to help out with sore knees I experienced after I began a new exercise routine after a long hiatus. I decided as a last resort recently to begin taking it to resolve lower back pain from a flair up of to degenerative discs (L3&L4). It began during the Thanksgiving Holiday while I was cooking on tile floors in bare feet. Tried pain relivers for 3 weeks, and three trips to my Chirpctor--- to no avail. Three DAYS after taking Solray brand Prickly Pear, I was 80% pain free. Within a week's time, my pain was gone,and my energy was up. I had forgotten that it regulates blood sugars too, but was reminded by previoius comments here. That likely explains my increased energy. I am going to make this a daily supplement...not just when I am in pain. I know that it is helping to maximize the benefit I already am getting from my Chiropractic treatments. Over the last 12 years, it is apparent that my maintenance treatments have continued to stabilize my spine health, and low down the naturally occuring degenerative process going on in my lower back (which I believe began due to years of working on my feet in non-supportive shoes, another 20 years of too much sitting and poor posture in an office job, several clumsy falls, and other plain old silly moves). I highly reccomend this supplement to everyone! By the way....I first tried prickly pear by way of Trivita vitamin company's "Nopalea" drink. It's a great product also, but as a single mom with a son in college, I found it a bit too expensive to maintain my supply. Solaray's $10 bottle of Prickly pear tablets work fine for me. Good Luck! God Bless!
