Dr. Feb's Analysis

Scientific Mechanism

Modified Citrus Pectin (MCP) is a complex polysaccharide derived from the pith of citrus fruits. Unlike regular pectin, MCP is modified via pH and temperature to lower its molecular weight, allowing it to be absorbed into the bloodstream. Once absorbed, it functions as a galectin-3 inhibitor. Galectin-3 is a protein that plays a critical role in inflammation and cellular adhesion. By binding to Sodium and Potassium electrolytes, it aids in osmotic balance within the gut, while the proprietary blend supports systemic detoxification by interfering with heavy metal circulation.

Key Benefits

Key benefits include:

  • Supports cardiovascular health by maintaining healthy arterial function
  • Promotes cellular health by modulating inflammatory responses
  • Aids in heavy metal detoxification processes
  • Enhances immune system regulation

Usage & Safety

Mix 1 level teaspoon (5 grams) daily into 8 oz of water or juice. For optimal absorption, consume on an empty stomach, at least 30 minutes before a meal. Ensure adequate hydration throughout the day to prevent constipation. If you are pregnant, nursing, taking medication, or have a medical condition (especially diabetes or intestinal disorders), consult your healthcare provider before use.
