NOW Modified Citrus Pectin (MCP) contains PectaSol, 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 excretion of low levels of heavy metals that commonly come from mild environmental exposure.
A recent study indicates that modified citrus pectin promotes healthy urinary excretion of common, mild environmental exposures of heavy metals such as mercury, arsenic, cadmium, lead and tin without altering excretion of other nutritional minerals, including calcium, magnesium, iron, copper and selenium. In addition, MCP has been shown to support healthy cellular growth and reproduction.
Multiple studies conducted at top research institutes have uncovered numerous health promoting benefits Of modified cirtus pectin, including powerful immune activation and superior Galectin-3 inhibition. In addition to promoting cellular health, inhibiting excess galectin-3 in the body is proving to be a critical component for cardiovascular health. It has been proven to safely and effectively remove heavy metals and environmental toxins from the tissues and blood stream, without removing essential minerals within the body. Modified Citrus Pectin is a safe and highly effective therapy with the ability to support cellular health, immune function and longevity.
