Pectin oligosaccharides inhibit mast cell reactions
We investigated how pectic oligosaccharides (POS), derived through a special enzymatic process, could help ease allergic reactions. By preparing these oligosaccharides under controlled conditions, we found that they inhibited key responses in mast cells, which are crucial players in allergies.
Specifically, POS were effective in reducing the release of histamine and other inflammatory substances from these cells. Most importantly, a concentration of 150 μg/mL significantly alleviated IgE-mediated allergic reactions. This suggests that POS could be a promising option for managing allergies.

Pectin is a fantastic remedy for my gastrointestinal tract. I've suffered from allergies for years; however, after my doctor recommended a combination of Psyllium, Inulin, and Pectin, I've been living fully without hormonal allergy medications for three years. My order arrived quickly, and I definitely prefer this particular pectin over others I've tried. I find it neatly packaged, and the capsules are medium-sized and easy to take with warm water in the morning. Since starting this at age 40, my bowel movements have normalised, unpleasant odours have ceased, and I've lost 10 kg. The initial bloating from the first week passed quickly, and I highly recommend it.

Effective cleansing method
Most Useful Review

Effective for the whole family. We used it during cleansing from parasites and liver disease. It cleanses the intestines remarkably well. I initially worried about whether my child could handle it, as some advised using charcoal or polysorb, which are harsher, removing both bad and good elements from the body. Additionally, those can only be taken for two weeks, while our cleanse lasted two months. I chose to give abloc pectin to the children, and it worked perfectly for my youngest, who is just 7. It is vital to drink it with ample water to avoid any adverse effects.

Excellent sorbent! I take 2 capsules in the morning on an empty stomach, and my intestinal function has improved significantly. My stool is now more regular and formal, plus there’s less gas. The rashes on my face and back have disappeared. I’m glad to find a natural product free from chemicals that’s safe for young children with constipation; you can simply pour the contents of the capsule into water. The benefits are immense, and pectin also nourishes the beneficial microbiota! Cheers to good health! Thank you for reading and liking, if you are inclined! 🌹

APPLE PECTIN - AN EXCELLENT PRODUCT. Pectin fibre goes beyond merely regulating digestion; it’s an incredibly beneficial soluble dietary fibre that reduces cholesterol and supports gastrointestinal health. Being soluble, it binds to fats (like cholesterol and toxins) in the gastrointestinal tract, aiding in their elimination. It's effective for detoxification and works on the body's utilisation of sugars and cholesterol, enhancing gut health.

Pectin provides various benefits, including aiding digestion and supporting cardiovascular health. It removes unwanted toxins and heavy metals such as mercury and lead, while also mitigating the adverse effects of radiation exposure. By binding water and toxins and bulking the stool, pectin helps transport these substances out of the body.

My 10-year-old son has suffered from chronic constipation and occasional encopresis for years. His doctor prescribed daily stool softeners, but the results were minimal. Since introducing one apple pectin capsule with a full cup of water and some prunes at breakfast, he now goes daily. Previously, it was once every three days, often leading to discomfort. With my background in nutrition, I believe this prebiotic fibre contributes to long-term gut health and the production of beneficial short-chain fatty acids. I'm happy with this much more effective approach and will continue to buy this product.

I believe apple fibre naturally regulates the intestines. It enhances gastrointestinal function and prevents harmful substance absorption, softening hard stools while firming soft ones. I take one tablet in the morning and one in the evening and have noticed significant improvements within days. Despite suffering from hemorrhoids for years, I haven’t had symptoms lately. It feels good to have normal bowel movements without straining. It's been about two months, and I’m very satisfied with the product’s effects. I recommended it to my mother with constipation issues, and she felt a difference the next day.

Apple pectin can be converted into butyrate in the intestinal tract, which aids in the repair of brain nerve growth factors. It's particularly beneficial for the elderly, especially those with Alzheimer's disease, as it can help stabilise mood and reduce anxiety. I recommend taking one tablet 30-60 minutes before bed to assist with sleep and alleviate insomnia. This is a powerful natural supplement without side effects, making it essential to have at home!

We investigated how three natural compounds—carvacrol, eugenol, and β-resorcylic acid—could reduce Salmonella enteritidis on shell eggs using pectin and gum arabic coatings.
The study began with eggs inoculated with a significant amount of SE and observed their storage at 4°C over a week. Remarkably, coatings featuring carvacrol and eugenol eliminated SE within just three days.
Although these coatings show great potential for ensuring egg safety, further research is necessary to assess their overall impact on egg quality and sensory characteristics before they can be widely recommended.

Fantastic! Apple pectin is a great food source for beneficial gut bacteria, acting as a light sorbent without depleting essential vitamins. I use it two to three times a year, usually at night, mixed with water. It has a pleasant taste, and after dissolving, it becomes gel-like. It's undoubtedly a crucial product that enhances intestinal microflora and boosts overall health!

We set out to determine if enzymatically modified pectin from grapefruit, jujube, and kumquat could be effective against stomach cancer cells. Through lab tests, we found that grapefruit pectin was particularly promising, displaying strong cytotoxic effects, especially at 0.075 mg/mL. Kumquat pectin also showed effectiveness across different concentrations. However, jujube pectin only exhibited cytotoxicity at lower concentrations. While the results indicate some potential, further research is needed to fully understand pectin's role in cancer treatment.

I took pectin to eliminate heavy metals and normalise digestion, and it successfully performed both tasks, acting as a sponge to cleanse our bodies. It captures toxins and waste products, ensuring harmful substances do not linger in the intestines, thus helping to prevent colon cancer. Pectin also provides a feeling of fullness, which is important for those aiming to lose weight, reduces putrefaction in the intestines, purges toxins, heals the intestinal mucosa, and enhances vitamin and mineral absorption from food, except iron.

We conducted a study to see if Gum Arabic (GA) has any impact on bloating for adults at risk of metabolic syndrome. Using a single-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled design, 80 participants took either GA or a pectin placebo for 12 weeks.
The results revealed that participants who consumed GA reported improvements in self-perceived bloating and bowel movements. Additionally, those taking GA experienced better blood pressure and glucose levels.
Overall, GA may serve as a helpful addition to managing symptoms associated with metabolic syndrome.

Works brilliantly! Recommended by a friend, I ordered apple pectin, which is a fibre and sorbent. It aids weight loss, curbs appetite by slowing digestion, cleanses the intestines, and eliminates toxins without causing dependency. I took 2 capsules 30-50 minutes before dinner with a full glass of water, and it effectively suppressed my appetite. One jar lasts 2 months, and after a break, you can repeat the course. Within a week, my digestive system improved significantly, with regular morning toilet visits. If you face gastrointestinal issues like bloating, try this fibre; it truly helps!

We evaluated the impact of two types of chemically sulfated citrus pectin on blood clotting and bleeding risks. Both low- and high-molecular-weight pectins demonstrated anticoagulant properties in laboratory settings.
However, in practical tests, the higher molecular weight variant stood out, fully preventing venous thrombosis at a specific dose. What's intriguing is that these pectins inhibit key clotting factors through a unique mechanism, unlike traditional treatments.
Notably, they also posed a lower bleeding risk compared to heparin, suggesting potential as safer antithrombotic options.

This study aimed to see if low-methoxyl pectin could help manage diarrhea in severely ill patients, particularly those with sepsis. We looked at how pectin affects stool consistency when added to a liquid diet in rats.
Our findings showed that a diet with low-methoxyl pectin resulted in fewer diarrhea episodes and less inflammation. The liquid diet with pectin improved stool texture and reduced inflammatory markers compared to the diet without fiber. Overall, we learned that pectin could be beneficial in managing diarrhea during critical illness.

We explored the impact of amidated pectin on cholesterol levels in rats' diets high in cholesterol. The study showed that when administered at different doses, specifically 20 g/kg, 40 g/kg, and 60 g/kg, pectin reduced serum cholesterol significantly, with the highest dose showing the best results. Notably, the effects of the 20 g/kg dose lasted for three months, indicating its potential as a cholesterol-lowering option. However, higher doses led to increased enzyme levels, hinting at possible side effects. This suggests that amidated pectin could be a valuable addition to traditional cholesterol medications.

We investigated how low-methoxyl pectin (LMP) could protect against type 1 diabetes (T1D) using non-obese diabetic mice. The mice were fed a diet with or without 5% LMP for 22 weeks.
Our findings showed that LMP significantly reduced T1D onset and improved gut health. It enhanced the production of beneficial short-chain fatty acids and bolstered gut barrier function. Additionally, LMP fostered a more balanced immune response in the pancreas and gut.
This suggests LMP may serve as a promising supplement for managing T1D.
