Diclofenac is one of the most widely used anti-inflammatory drugs in the world. Although effective, prolonged use or high doses can cause serious liver damage . A new study demonstrates that the extract of FIG TINTO® ( Opuntia stricta var. Dillenii ) can reduce liver damage caused by this drug, thanks to its potent antioxidant and regenerative effects .
What was evaluated?
-
Diclofenac was administered to rats to induce liver toxicity.
-
Another group was treated with ethanolic extract of FIG TINTO® fruit, rich in betalains.
-
Liver biomarkers (ALT, AST, bilirubin), antioxidant enzymes, and histopathological changes were analyzed.
Featured results
-
Significant reduction of elevated liver enzymes due to diclofenac.
-
Tissue protection observed under the microscope: less necrosis, greater regeneration.
-
Increased endogenous antioxidant activity (SOD, GSH).
-
The TINTO FIG® acted as an effective hepatoprotector without additional toxicity .
What makes it effective?
The fruit of the TINTO FIG® is rich in:
-
Betalains : pigments with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activity
-
Flavonoids : such as rutin and isorhamnetin, with liver-protective effects
-
Fiber and minerals : which improve the body's natural detoxification
Products from Tuno Canarias that reinforce this action
-
Dried TINTO FIG® powder : an excellent base to support liver health naturally
-
HIGO TINTO® BOOST : energizer with functional compounds for performance and recovery
-
Digestive Creamer : supports digestive, metabolic and antioxidant health
-
HIGO TINTO® Family Max : ideal for the whole family as a daily protective formula
Conclusion
This study reinforces the role of FIGO TINTO® as a valuable ingredient for comprehensive liver care , especially compared to commonly used medications that can be toxic in the long term. Its natural efficacy makes it a true ally for liver health.
The TINTO FIG® not only protects your stomach and intestines, it also takes care of your liver.
