Lowers cholesterol levels
Cactus juice has been shown to lower cholesterol levels in a number of studies. In one study, this juice was found to lower LDL (bad) cholesterol by up to 25% and increase HDL (good) cholesterol by up to 10%.
It is thought to work by inhibiting the absorption of cholesterol from the gut. This means that less cholesterol is available for the body to use, and so the levels in the blood are lowered.
It is a safe and effective way to lower cholesterol levels. It can be consumed regularly – as part of a healthy diet, and there are no known side effects.
