Nopalea- How much should YOU take?

Nopalea is a nutritional product meant to attack inflammation at its core and aid in preventing or alleviating the pain of debilitating inflammatory conditions. So far, the testimonials from people suffering conditions such as arthritis, allergies, fibromyalgia, acute muscle pain, skin conditions and even some less obvious inflammation-based conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol have been amazing! The problem, however, for each person looking at Nopalea to improve their health is determining exactly how much of the product will be needed to get the best results in aiding their inflammatory issues. Hopefully, the tips below will shed some light.

Before you can determine how much Nopalea you should order, you need to understand 3 important facts:

• Everyone's body is different. We all have a unique biochemical makeup and as such, we respond to changes in our diet at a different rate.
• We each suffer from a different degree of inflammation- in other words, some of us have fewer inflammatory conditions that we are hoping Nopalea will combat than others.
• Inflammation builds in your body over time and you're exposed to a variety of inflammation-breeding factors in your everyday life. It takes years for inflammation to build up which means it shouldn't be expected to be corrected overnight.

If you understand those facts, it becomes easier to figure out how much Nopalea YOU, personally, may need to try before you see, or feel, results. TriVita does offer a free bottle of Nopalea on their infomercial and online at nopalea.com and some people DO report feeling a difference after just a week of using the product, but immediate results like that shouldn't be assumed to happen for everyone... You may suffer from a higher degree of inflammation than those people and may need to test-drive the product longer- especially if you are hoping to improve a condition such as diabetes, high blood pressure or high cholesterol (something that you may not necessarily feel pain from, but is associated with inflammation nonetheless).

Even though TriVita offers that free bottle, which is a great deal and shows how much they believe in their product, I tend to recommend that people start out buying the 4 pack of Nopalea if they can afford to do so. My reason for this is two-fold: 1) Everyone responds to the product at different rates and 2) it can save you some money in the long run. If you can't afford the 4-pack, hopefully you can find a way to order AT LEAST 2 bottles... This will give you the best start at beginning the cell detoxification process and fighting inflammation.

A 4-pack of Nopalea tends to cost $139.99 + shipping, handling & state taxes, unless TriVita is running a special at the time you decide to purchase. The purchase is backed by a 60-Day 100% Satisfaction Guaranteed return policy, so if you aren't happy with your results after trying the product, you can simply call them within 60 days and inquire as to how you can get a refund- no questions asked. That means there is essentially no risk in purchasing in bulk.

Nopalea produces the best results for those who consistently take it on a daily basis and start out by following what we call the "loading phase". Instructions on taking the loading phase are written on a placard that will be shipped along with your product order, but basically it encourages you to take 3-6 ounces of Nopalea a day for AT LEAST the first full bottle. That essentially means you'll complete 1 32-oz bottle within 5-10 days and most people continue on the "loading phase" through more than 1 bottle or indefinitely depending on what they want to achieve for results.

Though it may sound like you'll run out of product quickly adopting this procedure, it is imperative if you want to achieve the best results with Nopalea. The reason for this goes back to the idea that we are all exposed to toxic, inflammation-causing factors on a daily basis- the Betalain antioxidants in Nopalea can, and will, help shed your body of the toxins and fight inflammation, but you have to give it the best chance possible for doing so. By following the loading dose and "flooding" your body with betalains, you detox your body and start fighting inflammation faster.

On a personal note, my suggestion for how much Nopalea to take daily is 6 ounces divided into an AM and PM dose (3 ounces in the AM and 3 ounce in the PM). This way you keep a steady supply of betalain antioxidants working in the body day in an day out. It's also worth noting that Nopalea is a natural product and you can drink as much as you wish- it's essentially like any other fruit-based beverage you drink on a daily basis, it just happens to have extreme inflammation-fighting properties.

Once you've begun the Nopalea Challenge, you will be assigned to a "TriVita Wellness Consultant" who should make themselves available to you for any questions you may have and to follow up with your progress as you try the product. If the product works well for you, you may want to find out from them how you can enroll in the TriVita affiliate member program or the referring member program to earn cash or $25 gift cards good toward future purchases to help offset the cost of your own product purchases. Both options are entirely free to get started, but offer different benefits.
