Pack size:100 g Dosage form:powder

Answer From Katherine Zeratsky, R.D., L.D. Prickly pear cactus — or also known as nopal, opuntia and other names — is promoted for treating diabetes, high cholesterol, obesity and hangovers. It's also touted for its antiviral and anti-inflammatory properties.

Other potential health benefits include:
Wound healing, Skin protection, Hepatoprotection, Anticancer, Bone health, Cardiovascular system, Kidneys, Gastrointestinal tract, Anti-ulcer, Neuroprotective, and Sedative. 
However, there is no good scientific evidence to support some of the uses of prickly pear cactus, such as for diabetes, enlarged prostate, and hangovers.
