From the peel and pulp of citrus fruits (also called fractionated pectin)
Modified citrus pectin – also known as fractionated pectin – is a complex polysaccharide derived from the peel and pulp of citrus fruits. Modified citrus pectin has the natural ability to surround and trap heavy metal ions, thus facilitating the elimination of heavy metals from the body.* In addition, the citrus molecules are cleaved – aka modified – in such a way that they are rich in galactoside residues, which have their own innate affinity to bind to various types of unwanted cells. This beneficial activity prevents unwanted cells from attaching to normal cells, thus inhibiting the proliferation of the unwanted cells.* These actions benefit oncology patients, liver detoxification, and heavy metal elimination in general.*
