Kasia/Modified Citrus Pectin

[Guest guest]

Hi Kasia,I found this old email of yours.....Did you use MCP in the end? Just wondering if you tried it and with what results.I have emailed both Source Naturals and EcoNugenics. I've just received the response from Source Naturals. Below are my message and the reply:"I

am looking into buying the MCP for my kids who have a lot of lead and my mother who just had her breast cancer removed. I've read that Dr. Eliaz found that pectin with a molecular weight between 10,000 and 20,000 daltons can be absorbed and circulated throughout the body without being quickly broken down and eliminated. Your MCP molecule is a

bit bigger, is it still absorbed by body or does it act as fibre? What is normal pectine molecule size? I am concern that dr. Eliaz doesn't mention that his MCP is made from organic fruit. Thank you for reading and I'm looking forward to your reply"Thank you for your inquiry. Un-modified citrus pectin can have a molecular weight up to 400

kD. Such pectin is not absorbed and functions as a fiber in the digestive tract. Our Modified Citrus Pectin has a average molecular weight of 30 kD, and is absorbed. And you are correct, it is derived from organic citrus. Best regards, Milosevich, CNdanielm@...I will post EcoNugenics response when I get it.Kasia
