Econugenics PectaSol Modified Citrus Pectin 454 gm

The only clinically-proven Modified Citrus Pectin

PectaSol-C® is the most advanced and effective modified citrus pectin supplement available for promoting optimal cellular health. This natural product is derived from the pith of citrus fruits, and is modified via an enzymatic process to achieve enhanced molecular characteristics for supporting cellular health.

Regular pectin is found in many fruits, but is not absorbed into the bloodstream due to its large molecular size. Only PectaSol-C® modified citrus pectin by EcoNugenics is produced using an enhanced process that carefully controls the weight and size of the pectin molecules. The result is modified citrus pectin that is readily and effectively absorbed into the bloodstream, where it can actively promote cellular health. Extensive scientific research has demonstrated modified citrus pectin's natural ability to support healthy cell growth and proliferation.

PectaSol-C® is the only modified citrus pectin supplement available that has been clinically tested and proven to promote healthy cell growth and proliferation.

PectaSol-C® Modified Citrus Pectin was developed by Isaac Eliaz, MD, and is protected by US patents #6,274,566, #6,462,029, and #7,026,302.

The Research

Additional Usage Guidelines:

This product is designed to be taken on an empty stomach, at least 30 minutes before or 2 hours after food, or 2 hours either before or after other supplements or medications.

PectaSol-C® Modified Citrus Pectin (MCP) is a natural product that is derived from the peel pith of citrus fruit. It is formulated to:

• Support healthy cellular growth*
• Promote normal tissue health*

PectaSol-C® MCP is a special class of pectin that was developed by Isaac Eliaz, MD, MS, LAc. Dr. Eliaz has researched and published articles on modified citrus pectin for over a decade. MCP is protected by US patents #6,274,566, #6,462,029, and #7,026,302. PectaSol-C® MCP is produced using a proprietary process that carefully controls both the molecular weight (MW) and degree of esterifcation (DE). The specific low molecular weight size range of PectaSol-C® MCP allows easy absorption into the bloodstream with the effective range of molecular size and esterification.*

Pectin Chemistry

Pectin is a soluble dietary fiber composed of galacturonic acid and varying amounts of galactose, glucose, rhammose, and arabinose.  In its natural state, the galacturonic groups are found esterified.  Regular pectin is not absorbed due to its large size, but it nevertheless plays a key dietary role in supporting digestive and cardiovascular health.*

Pectin as an Alternative Ligand for Galectin-3

Early Research on MCP

In the 1990's researchers demonstrated that oral administration of citrus pectin modified to be less than 10kD and with a low DE would interfere with the ability of aberrant cells to proliferate, adhere to each other, or adhere to the inner walls of blood vessels. Their research suggested that MCP, as a natural ligand for galectin-3, could be a valuable nutritional supplement for supporting cellular health.*

Pre-Production Research on PectaSol® MCP

Dr. Eliaz developed the PectalSol® brand as the first modified citrus pectin for human use.  This MCP is designed to be a superior ligand for galectin-3 and involved extensive pre-production research.  A cell culture model using aberrant prostate cells was used to help determine the optimal MW and DE by demonstrating cytotoxicity (cell death).  After optimization, PectaSol® was immediately tested clinically. As such, PectaSol® is the only brand of modified citrus pectin that has been validated in human clinical trials.*
