Dee Cee Labs Modified Citrus Pectin 

PectaSol Powder - Natural Modified Citrus Pectin

Modified Citrus Pectin is made from the peel and pulp of citrus fruits, grapefruits, lemons, oranges and tangerines. It does not contain citrus allergens.

How Pectin Is Modified

When its larger molecules are broken down into smaller ones, modified Citrus Pectin takes on a different molecular weight than ordinary citrus pectin. There are several ways to modify pectin. The less expensive method is a process that uses sodium hydroxide (otherwise known as lye) along with an acid that breaks down pectin’s molecules into smaller, non-uniform fragments, which consist of molecules no smaller than 30,000 daltons. Studies indicate that pectin’s molecules should be between 10,000 to 20,000 daltons for optimal absorption.

Modified Citrus Pectin Molecular Weight

Dee Cee's high-quality modified citrus pectin, is produced using an expensive enzymatic process that produces a product with molecules between 10,000 and 20,000 daltons. When pectin’s molecules are between 10,000 and 20,000 daltons more of them are absorbed and get to the target area. It takes less of Dee Cee's, a high-quality modified citrus pectin, to be effective than one of a lower quality.

Dee Cee's Modified Citrus Pectin is a complex polysaccharide rich in galactosyl residues, derived from citrus fruits. Ordinary pectin is not absorbed due to its long molecular chain, but Dee Cee's is manufactured by a special process that results in a shorter molecular chain that is readily absorbed. This allows the body to utilize its important polysaccharide components.

Dee Cee Labs' PectaSol Powder is a Modified Citrus Pectin powder that is made in America to assure quality, potency and safety.
