Did you know that FIGO TINTO® can protect the liver from damage caused by toxic substances such as lead? A recent study proves it.
Researchers evaluated the protective effect of Opuntia dillenii fruit extract (HIGO TINTO®) against lead acetate-induced toxicity in both liver cell lines and animal models. The results showed a reduction in liver damage, normalization of biomarkers, and histological improvement of liver tissue .
What was investigated?
-
Treatment of liver cells and rats with HIGO TINTO® extract before and after exposure to lead acetate.
-
The following were analyzed:
-
ALT, AST, ALP and bilirubin levels
-
Histological damage to the liver
-
Levels of MDA , SOD and GSH (indicators of oxidative stress)
-
Apoptosis and hepatic cell degeneration
-
Featured results
-
Significant reduction in the levels of:
-
ALT, AST and bilirubin (indicators of liver damage)
-
MDA (lipid peroxidation indicator)
-
-
Increased SOD and glutathione (liver antioxidant defenses)
-
Partial restoration of liver tissue architecture
-
Effect comparable to that of silymarin (hepatoprotective drug)
How does it work?
The extract of FIG TINTO® works by:
-
Neutralization of free radicals generated by lead
-
Stimulation of endogenous antioxidant enzymes
-
Reduction of apoptosis in liver cells
-
Cell membrane protection and oxidative damage repair
Practical application
This effect makes it ideal for:
-
Liver formulas for prevention and detoxification
-
Natural supplements for people exposed to environmental toxins
-
Liver support in diets high in drugs or heavy metals

Conclusion
This study confirms the potential of the RED FIG® as a natural hepatoprotective agent , capable of reducing the toxic effects of pollutants such as lead. A functional plant with real power in the body's defense.
The TINTO FIG® protects from the inside out, down to the last organ.
