Modified Citrus Pectin

Modified Citrus Pectin

Research has suggested that modified citrus pectin helps support a wide array of important health benefits at the cellular level. Particularly plentiful in the pith and peels of citrus and apple fruits, pectins are gel-forming polysaccharides derived from plant cell walls and are a type of soluble dietary fiber. Pectin molecules are too large to be easily absorbed and used by the body. Modified Citrus Pectin (MCP) is a form of pectin that has been altered through pH and temperature modifications to create smaller, less complex molecules to help facilitate absorbability in the digestive tract. The MCP used by Futurebiotics is produced from the pith of citrus fruit peels using a scientifically-validated, proprietary enzymatic and pH process, which provides a patented, low-molecular-weight citrus pectin for improved absorption and utilization by the body.
