Modified Citrus Pectin
Contains a soluble source of modified citrus pectin
Supports detoxification
Isolated from oranges and free from coloring and masking agents
Modified citrus pectin (MAP) is a carbohydrate derived from the soluble fiber in citrus peels, which is properly broken down into smaller fragments for easier absorption in the digestive tract. AOR's MAP is refined to match the specific size and weight of pectin used in studies.
The white pith just below the rind of citrus fruits like grapefruit and oranges is packed with beneficial pectin. Unfortunately, its bitter taste and chalky texture make it an undesirable food. This is where PAM comes in. PAM has proven useful in combating heavy metal toxicity and promoting healthy cell growth.
Citrus pectin is very rich in galactose. This pectin exists in long, complex chains with galactose residues hidden deep within their intricate molecular branches. To solve this problem, carbohydrate chains can be broken into shorter fragments under controlled pH conditions, exposing more galactose residues and simplifying the complex molecular branches. Thoroughly processing the fibers of lemons, grapefruits, or mandarins produces pH-modified citrus pectin. This modification process maximizes the potential for interaction between the galactose residues in pectin and galectin-3, thus unlocking the full potential of citrus pectin.
AOR's PAM is prepared from Florida and French oranges, not grapefruit, as grapefruit is known to interfere with certain medications. AOR's PAM also does not contain masking agents such as colorings or flavorings to maintain a pure product for vulnerable populations using this product. This means that the product's physical properties, such as color, taste, and solubility, may vary depending on environmental factors such as harvest time, country of origin, soil conditions, etc.
Adults: Add one scoop to water or juice 3 times daily and take with food or immediately after meals (to minimize gastrointestinal irritation and prevent over-absorption), or as directed by a healthcare professional.
Ingredients per three scoops: Modified citrus pectin 15 g*
Non-medicinal ingredients: None.
