The unique characteristic of
modified citrus pectin versus other pectins is that it has a
low molecular weight. This allows it to pass through the
intestinal barrier and work systemically where it binds to low
levels of heavy metals present from common, mild environmental
exposure and facilitates their excretion.
A recent study indicates that
modified citrus pectin promotes healthy urinary excretion of
common, mild environmental exposures of mercury, arsenic,
cadmium, lead and tin without altering excretion of other
minerals, including calcium, magnesium, iron, copper and
selenium. Cilantro and chlorella have a long history of
traditional use in supporting the body's natural processes for
maintaining healthy metal levels.
Research indicates that these
greens provide the potential to regulate common heavy metal
exposure and distribution in tissues. As part of a cysteine-rich
metal-binding protein, zinc exhibits similar properties.
Studies suggest that selenium binds to mercury, potentially
reducing the biological availability of mercury, while
n-acetyl-l-cysteine (NAC) promotes urinary excretion of
methylmercury. In addition, NAC provides important support for
the liver by enhancing glutathione concentration. l-Methionine
also promotes glutathione production and encourages phase II
detoxification pathways in the liver. Alpha lipoic acid
promotes the biliary excretion of inorganic mercury and may
help regulate heavy metal induced oxidative stress.
