What does the name mean?

“Nochtli” was the Aztec word for the prickly pear plant. The city of Tenochtitlan, now Mexico City, was founded by Aztecs around 1325 based on a prophecy about the place where prickly pear cacti would be found. We chose nochtli as the name of our products to emphasize the long history of cacti as a source of wellness.

What’s the difference between Nochtli Recover and Wellness?

We’ve formulated nochtli™ Recover and Wellness to support different body systems. The fresh, magenta color of Recover is an indicator that it contains the betalains found in prickly pear fruit. Betalains are red pigments that function as antioxidants in the body, working at the cellular level to contain and calm physical stress. Wellness is thick with nopal, an ingredient that supports cardiovascular health and balanced glucose levels. Both nochtli supplements are a 100% natural addition to a nutritious diet.

Why should I consume betalains in my diet?

Nutritionists advise making your plate colorful with the foods you choose because the natural pigments in food are markers of the nutrients they contain. Betalains are desirable but uncommon in fruits. Desert fruits, however, such as prickly pear contain a high concentration of betalains that help naturally detox the body.

How do betalains work?

Betalains are antioxidants. They help to prevent the oxidative stress of molecules in the body. While oxidation is a natural process, it can also produce free radicals. Free radicals may initiate the kinds of cellular changes that lead to muscle inflammation, cancer, cardiovascular disease, and neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. Betalains support the natural detoxification process of cells in the body, and scientists believe this has a positive effect on health and longevity.
