Top Medical Research Studies

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.

Enhanced gut health

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!

Constipation relief

My life has changed! If you're struggling with bowel movement regularity, I've found that combining apple pectin with 21st Century's Calcium Magnesium Zinc+D3 works wonders. Previously, I experienced bowel movements every 3-4 days with painful bloating. Since starting this combination a year ago, my constipation issues have virtually disappeared.

Regulated bowel movements

I was sceptical about the reviews, but I ordered apple pectin after suffering from constipation for over a year. Despite adjusting my diet, I faced ongoing issues. However, just 4-5 days after starting this supplement, everything worked out. I took two capsules before meals, and now my visits to the toilet are stable each day. I'll order more!

Supports gastrointestinal health
3 people found this helpful
Apple pectin is a fibre that aids weight loss and reduces appetite by slowing food digestion. It cleanses the intestines and removes toxins, lowering cholesterol without causing dependency. I took two capsules before dinner with a glass of water. After a week, my digestive system improved significantly; I now go to the toilet each morning before breakfast. For anyone with gastrointestinal issues like bloating or constipation, I recommend trying this fibre!

No harm noted

There is no harm in using pectin, which I've started taking recently. Observations indicate it protects against food poisoning, as I did not experience any discomfort after taking it as I used to. I will continue to monitor its effects.

Increased bowel activity
4 people found this helpful
Apple pectin can eliminate heavy metals and aids in controlling cholesterol absorption, playing a role in weight loss. After a week of taking it, I've increased my bowel movement frequency from every 3-4 days to every 2 days. I find it worthwhile, especially for its affordable price!

Reduced bloating

Effective product! I didn’t know what to expect, but this product is excellent. I feel my stomach is more settled, and there’s much less bloating. Food digests better, and I feel light all day. I can tell a huge difference when I don't take it. I highly recommend it; the quality is high and worth the money!

Significant improvement noted
I have a sensitive stomach, and greasy food often causes diarrhoea. I tried various probiotics and other remedies without much effect. However, after taking this apple pectin, I noticed a significant improvement! I plan to continue using it.

Tummy comfort

I adore pectins! While I reserve judgement on this specific one, I think it is excellent. Previously, I ordered it in powder. This product is useful for food poisoning as it soothes the stomach and suppresses hunger. I particularly enjoy the apple flavour.

Helpful during travel
1 people found this helpful
This is a useful product for normalising bowel function. It works gently, is convenient to carry when travelling, and is beneficial in case of food poisoning. I also use it for periodic detox, as pectin acts as a sorbent to remove toxins. I previously used pharmacy powder but prefer this product due to its convenience and lower price.
