Pectin shows promise for clot control
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.

Pectin enhances blood clot management
This study examined the effectiveness of sulfonated, oxidized pectin (SAP) in creating new bioprosthetic valve leaflets.

We discovered that when SAP was used alongside a natural crosslinking agent, quercetin, the resulting leaflets exhibited impressive anticoagulant and antithrombotic properties.

Furthermore, these double-crosslinked leaflets also showed improved mechanical strength and reduced inflammatory responses, highlighting their promising potential in preventing blood clots more effectively than current treatments.

Lower blood count

My autoimmune disease caused severe white blood cell inflammation for over five years, and my white blood cell count was just 2.6. After five months on 'Now' Apple Pectin and Niacin, it increased to 3.9. Incredible!

Great product! I am very happy with Now Apple Pectin. I started using it due to claims of strengthening the gut barrier and promoting healthy bacteria while reducing harmful bacteria. It has helped lower my blood pressure and improved my digestion. I've also noticed that shedding weight is easier than before taking apple pectin. It's performing as I expected, and I hope to experience even greater benefits with longer use.

Very good! Research shows apple pectin can help maintain healthy cholesterol, lower the risk of cardiovascular diseases, and aid in blood sugar management. I often mix it with fruit juice for my breakfast, making it beneficial and enjoyable. Compared to another brand, this one dissolves much better.

Improved health

Excellent natural prebiotic! While everyone knows probiotics, not many know about prebiotics. Regular intake of prebiotics greatly helps with intestinal health, stabilizes cholesterol and enhances nutrient absorption. I started taking apple pectin during long-term antibiotic therapy and have since switched to twice a week. My health has improved significantly, making it easier to plan my days away from home.

Effective for mother
5 people found this helpful
I bought apple pectin for my mother, who suffers from high blood pressure. It helps lower blood pressure and blood sugar, and she found it beneficial for her stomach and weight loss after two months of use. I repurchased it, hoping this information assists others considering it.

Weight loss aid
4 people found this helpful
Apple pectin can help excrete heavy metals and slow down cholesterol absorption, aiding in weight loss. After a week of taking it, my bowel movements increased from every three to four days to every two days. It stabilises blood sugar as well, making it worth buying!

Improved cholesterol levels
3 people found this helpful
I’m on my second bottle now. My recent cholesterol tests were excellent, with good cholesterol rising and bad cholesterol decreasing. I'm very pleased with the results, and my digestion is regular too!
6
Feeling of fullness
1 people found this helpful
Apple pectin creates a feeling of fullness that helps reduce food intake and lower blood pressure. I believe that over time, the effects on my appetite and weight will become even more pronounced. The pills are easy to swallow, and I will continue taking them.
