A unique dietary fiber
Modified citrus pectin (MCP) is a unique dietary fiber that is produced by processing natural citrus pectin to split the fiber's carbohydrate chains to form a low molecular-weight, water-soluble fiber. Research shows that MCP reduces the ability of aberrant cells to proliferate and adhere to each other, as well as to the inner walls of blood vessels. MCP has also been shown to provide powerful support for a healthy prostate. MCP is PectaSol®, a patented ingredient produced through a proprietary process that carefully controls the molecular weight and degree of esterification for maxium absorption and effectiveness.
Pectin is a complex carbohydrate (polysaccharide) found in virtually all plants. Pectin helps to bind cells together and provides a structural framework for maintaining the shape and integrity of cell membranes. Recently, a modified form of citrus pectin derived from the pulp and peel of citrus fruits has been shown to attach to cancer cells to prevent them from spreading throughout the body, pointing the way to a potentially safe approach for preventing or reducing cancer metastases.
Early test tube studies revealed that MCP did indeed bind to galectins from numerous human cancer cell lines to inhibit their ability to adhere to other cells. Researchers found that as little as a 1.0 percent solution of MCP inhibited attachment of 1) human prostate adenocarcinoma cells, 2) human breast carcinoma cells, 3) human melanoma cells, and 4) human laryngeal epidermoid carcinoma cells to human endothelial cells.
