Modified Citrus Pectin, Cilantro and Odorless Garlic Extract.
Citrus Pectin is a plant fiber obtained from the rind and peel of citrus fruits such as lemons, grapefruits, oranges and tangerines. Structurally, pectin is classified as a complex polysaccharide (long-chain carbohydrate) characterized by it's numerous long complex sidechains. At a molecular level, pectin is a strong binding agent, which directly relates to its tremendous cholesterol lowering and detoxification properties. Because of the large size and molecular weight of pectin molecules however, its actions are limited to its activity in the digestive tract.

Recently, scientists have learned to modify pectin molecules into smaller, less complex molecules with smaller side chains and lower molecular weights. This modified citrus pectin (MCP) is water soluable, rich in the sugar, galactose, and has molecules small enough to be absorbed in the small intestine, which can than travel into the bloodstream, where they can interact with other cells in the blood or with other tissues in the body.

This enhanced bioavailabilty combined with MCP's galactose rich make-up, give it the ability to deliver the following extraordinary added benefits over "regular" pectin:
- protects against cancer
- inhibits cancer metastasis
- fights heart disease

Cilantro and Garlic have been included in the Pectin Plus™formula because they both support cardiovascular health, while also supporting dextoxification, particularly heavy metal detoxification. In fact both cilantro and garlic greatly add to the efficiency of MCP's detoxification action.

Together, acting with very different biochemical mechanisms, Modified Citrus Pectin, Cilantro and Garlic work synergistically in:
- protecting against and fighting cancer
- detoxifiying the body
- promoting cardiovascular health

That is why Health Supply has uniquely formulated them together in Pectin Plus™
