Apple pectin
|
ProPectin contains 100 percent pharmaceutical-grade apple pectin, sourced from some of the highest quality apples in the world. It takes 250 kilos of apples to make one kilo of ProPectin. A six-step patented process turns this powerful apple pectin into a concentrated powder that can easily and quickly be mixed in a glass of water, making it the only 100% soluble, high grade apple pectin.

Benefits of ProPectin
ProPectin™ is a pure, pharmaceutical-grade, soluble apple pectin product. It is designed to assist the body in flushing dangerous Cesium-137 (Cs-137) from the system. Studies conducted on 160,000 children exposed to radiation after the Chernobyl nuclear accident found that apple pectin decreased the level of Cs-137 in children's organs after each course of treatment by an average of 30 to 40 percent (1).

Other studies show even more impressive results:
"In June-July 2001 BELRAD...conducted a placebo-controlled double-blind study of 615 children with internal contamination who were treated with [apple pectin] (5g twice a day) for a 3-week period. In children taking the [apple pectin] (together with clean food) Cs-137 levels were lowered much more effectively than in the control group, who had clean food combined with a placebo." An adjacent chart shows a decrease of 63.6% compared with the placebo decrease of only 13.9% after only 21 days–results 4.5 times more effective (2).

Supplies are very limited! If you live in an area with radioactive contamination, it's very important that you and your family start taking ProPectin today to help lessen your risk of becoming ill from cancer-causing Cs-137.

In the Beginning ...
|
ProPectin™ was initially developed and marketed to combat the effects of radiation contamination - a need that arose dramatically when Japan was devastated by an earthquake and tsunami in March 2011. This catastrophic event severely damaged the nuclear reactors at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant in the northeastern part of Japan. Three of the plant's six reactors experienced a full nuclear meltdown, which released deadly, cancer-causing radioactive isotopes like Plutonium, Strontium and Cesium-137 into the environment. The International Nuclear Event Scale classifies the accident at Fukushima as a Level 7 - its highest classification for the danger created by such a meltdown. The response to ProPectin's ability to flush deadly toxins from the body has been overwhelming, especially among the people in heavily populated metropolitan cities who face the most serious risks to their health from exposure to daily contaminants. Our goal is to help people reclaim their health and do everything possible to avoid the long-term health risks that can result from such exposure. |

Continued research of apple pectin shows that ProPectin can offer significant health benefits to people in many other ways. Studies reveal that apple pectin can help maintain healthy cholesterol levels and lower the risk of cardiovascular disease, can improve issues associated with incontinence and inflammation, can help lower blood glucose and insulin levels, assists with healthy weight management, and is a useful agent for delivery of cancer drugs. Many scientists and nutritionists feel apple pectin has the ability to support many other health issues. According to Susan Sungsoo Cho in her book, Fiber Ingredients, apple pectin may slow the rate at which your body absorbs sugars. Cho says apple pectin works by slowing your digestion of sugars and fats, which leads to lower blood glucose levels and a reduced insulin demand. Cho also believes apple pectin may help protect against colon cancer, since it speeds up excretion, which helps the body to eliminate cancer-causing substances more quickly (3).

A. Stewart Truswell, human nutrition expert at the University of Sydney, Australia, and author of a commentary published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, says apple pectin works better than oat bran, psyllium or guar gum in lowering cholesterol. Researcher M. Gonzalez, lead author of a study published in the Journal of Physiology and Biochemistry, found that apple pectin works best for blood cholesterol.(4) (4) Ibid |

Health
Benefits
and Medical uses
Heavy metal
reduction
The consumption of pectin has shown to be an effective and risk-free method to reduce the risks of radiation damage to the body from exposure to heavy metal poisoning.
It bonds with radiation elements like Cesium 137 and 134 in a process called chelation, thereby allowing the body to eliminate it through natural processes.
In large-scale studies in the Chernobyl area pectin has been found to substantially reduce the Cesium 137 level with up to 63 %. (Belrad Institute of Radiation Safety)
Cholesterol
reduction
Apple pectin lowers cholesterol levels by significantly raising the levels of HDL, or good cholesterol. (Nutrition and Food Research Journal, 2010)
The HDL cholesterol extracts the bad cholesterol LDL from the arteries and away from arterial walls, then delivers it to the liver where it is processed and removed from the body
Pectin, as a soluble fiber, also works by binding cholesterol to bile acids and carrying them out of the body.
Drug Delivery
Pectin's gel-like consistency makes it a useful agent for delivery of cancer drugs (Kyushu University, Fukuoka, Japan).
An oxidized type of pectin has been shown to form a gel and retain the anticancer drug within the area of the tumor, allowing the drug to have greater effectiveness than it would have if it were allowed to disperse. (Biomacromolecules, December 2010 )
Since it releases fatty acids and only ferments when it reaches the colon it is believed to be indirectly lowering the risk of colon cancer.
Anti-Inflammatory
attributes
Pectin reduces inflammation associated with bowel disease by reducing the production of pro-inflammatory antibodies (Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, 2010)
Weight Control | |
 | Researchers at Konkuk University in Korea has tested the effects of a pectin-containing beverage on food intake levels for healthy but overweight women. The results of their study indicate that women who consumed the pectin twice a day consumed 12 percent fewer calories than usual at lunch time and 22 percent fewer calories at dinner. (The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, December 2007) |
Human tissue
regeneration
A Chinese chemist Lin Shu Liu has developed a material from natural crop polymers including pectin, which can be used in biomedical materials, such as those used in human tissue regeneration.
The new, pectin-based material forms three-dimensional structures with better physical and mechanical properties than the tissue replacers in current use.
Glucose
reduction
Several studies with insulin dependent and non-independent diabetics have shown that pectin substances lower blood glucose and insulin levels after a carbohydrate meal. (Tunali, 1990, Levitt et al., 1980, Kanter et al. 1980)
The results were comparable to studies with healthy volunteers (Jenkins et al., 1980, Holt et a.l, 1979, Sahi et a.l,1985 )
Incontinence
improvement
Pectin helps manage or prevent some types of incontinence. Research in this field points to it as an effective part of a management program to control fecal incontinence.
A study showed that women required 21 to 25 gram of fiber, including pectin, each day and men needed 30 to 38 gram of this nutrient daily to control fecal incontinence (Journal of Pediatric Surgery, June 2009)
Other
medical applications
New pectin applications include prosthetic medical devices and scaffolding for bone or cartilage repair. Pectin has properties that allow human cells to bind to it and grow.
Plant physiologist Arland T. Hotchkiss and collaborators has demonstrated that pectin fragments have pre-biotic properties.
Pre-biotics are non-digestible food ingredients that increase growth of beneficial bacteria which help prevent growth of food-borne pathogens.
"I have had high cholesterol for most of my life. I didn't want to take any synthetic products ... finally I heard about ProPectin. I didn't want to put anything in my body that wasn't as close to something that occurs in nature as possible, so ProPectin seemed like the ideal solution. The next time I had my cholesterol checked, my levels were just fine."
