Natural products are the best source of nutriments to reduce the risk of chronic diseases. Nopal (\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">Opuntia ficus-indica<\/jats:italic>\n                    ) is a plant characterized by its nutritional components and benefits to health. Its calcium content increases with maturation process that could be beneficial for consumers. Nopal powder (NP) was elaborated from nopal harvested within 16\u201324 weeks of maturation, and the nutritional content was determined. An experimental clinical trial was performed to evaluate the effect of NP. A total of 69 women between 40 and 60 years old participated in the study. During 24 weeks, experimental group (\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">n<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u200956) consumed a daily dose of 5\u2009g of NP and control group (\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">n<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u200913) continue with habitual diet.
