Modified Citrus Pectin

• Healthy Cell Growth and Reproduction

• Immune Support

•  Modified Citrus Pectin (MCP) is a patented, low molecular weight citrus pectin that can pass through the intestinal barrier so it can work systemically.* MCP can bind to and facilitate the excretion of low levels of heavy metals from mild, but common environmental exposure.* Studies indicate that MCP promotes healthy urinary excretion of heavy metals from typical everyday exposures without altering the retention of other nutritional minerals, including calcium, magnesium, iron, copper and selenium.* In addition, MCP has been shown to support healthy cellular growth and reproduction.
• The fiber is called MCP — developed from the skin of citrus fruit. Everyday pectin is used to thicken many drugs, foods, and cosmetics. It’s the ingredient that makes jellies jell. Pectin is made up of long strings of sugar. That makes it very interesting to researchers, who’ve only recently begun to understand the many complex roles sugars play in the body.
• Avraham Raz, PhD, director of the tumor progression and metastasis lab at Detroit’s Barbara Ann Karamanos Cancer Institute, became interested in the way cancer cells clump together to form tumors. He found that this clumping needed sticky sugars — and that pectins can keep these sugars from sticking. Normal pectins won’t work in the blood stream. But Raz’s team found a way to alter pectin so that it could be digested and enter the blood. And that’s not all.
