Thoughts on the ingredients?
Anyone tried it?
It looks like there is so many other ingredients included in it - I wonder if you really get much benefit from the nopal part of it???
And if it only comes from the Sonora desert's Nopal cactus - what if they over harvest??
limited resources for harvesting it seems...
It seems to sound a lot like the Goji juice thing....
