AOR MCP 450g contains modified citrus pectin that have been specifically designed to tightly bind heavy metals and increase their clearance from the body while having a reduced affinity for most nutritionally essential elements.
Modified citrus pectin (MCP) is derived from citrus peels. Regular pectin is a good source of fibre but is not able to be absorbed by the intestines. MCP is broken down into smaller fragments to be more easily absorbed in the digestive tract. There are multiple studies that show MCP to be helpful in the detoxification of heavy metals. It does this by binding to toxic metals in the blood stream and increasing the urinary excretion of lead, mercury, arsenic and other heavy metals without disrupting the essential mineral levels.
MCP produces pleiotropic effects including but not limited to its antagonism of galectin-3, which have shown benefit in preclinical and clinical models. Regarding cancer, MCP modulates several rate-limiting steps of the metastatic cascade. MCP can also affect cancer cell resistance to chemotherapy. Regarding fibrotic diseases, MCP modulates many of the steps involved in the pathogenesis of aortic stenosis. MCP also reduces fibrosis to the kidney, liver and adipose tissue. Other benefits of MCP include detoxification and improved immune function. This review summarizes the pleiotropic effects of MCP.
AOR’s MCP is refined to match the specific size and weight of the pectin used in these studies. AOR presents MCP in its pure form, without any added flavour or colour. This means that the physical properties of the product like colour, taste and solubility are subject to change with environmental factors such as time of harvest, region of origin, soil conditions, etc.
