Betalains are bioflavonoids in the quercetin family; quercetin has been shown to protect against inflammation related to free radicals. Nopal cactus fruit is a rich source of quercetin. There are 24 known betalains in nature; some are found in beets and Swiss chard, but Nopal cactus fruit contains the most concentrated amount of betalains found in nature.

In plants, Betalain count is determined in part by where a plant grows: the more extreme the climate, the more betalains the plant needs to survive. Nopalea is sourced from a variety of Nopal cactus fruit, Opuntia ficus indica, that is found in the Sonora Desert of North America. Because of the temperature extremes in the Sonora Desert, this variety of Nopal cactus fruit contains all 24 known betalains.
