Safe, Gentle and Clinically-Proven Toxin Removal

Toxic heavy metals, such as lead, arsenic, and cadmium are present in our water, air, and soil, where they enter the food chain and increase environmental exposure. Others, including aluminum are commonly found in antiperspirants and other household products. These metals and toxins build up in our bodies, while our natural detoxification systems (liver, kidneys, skin and lymphatic system) become overburdened.

PectaSol® Chelation Complex is a safe and effective dietary supplement that contains both PectaSol-C® Modified Citrus Pectin and our unique modified alginate compound, Algimate® Modifed Alginate Complex. Combining pectin and alginates is a powerful strategy for removing toxic heavy metals, as these two innovative ingredients function synergistically to bind to and eliminate toxins. PectaSol® Chelation Complex gently removes toxins safely and naturally, without depleting the body of essential vitamins and minerals.

For comprehensive detoxification, it is also recommended that PectaSol® Chelation Complex is taken in combination with Detox Complete®.

The Research

Additional Usage Guidelines:

PectaSol® Chelation Complex is designed to:

• Promote removal of toxins without depleting essential minerals.*
• Function systemically and intestinally*
• Bind toxins to prevent re-absorption*

PectaSol® Chelation Complex is a carefully designed blend of PectaSol-C® modified citrus pectin (MCP) and Algimate® modified alginates formulated by Isaac Eliaz, MD, MS, L.Ac. for optimal toxic metal chelation. The use of alginates and pectates for metal chelation is protected by US patents #6,462,029 and #7,026,302. The modified citrus pectin component works systemically in the circulatory system and the alginates work predominantly in the gastrointestinal tract to prevent re-absorption of toxins.*

Polyuronide Chemistry

Polyuronides, such as pectin and alginates, are naturally occurring complex polysaccharides. Citrus pectin is a soluble dietary fiber composed predominately of repeating galacturonic acid units. Alginate, found in seaweed, is made of linear chains of mannuronic (M) and guluronic (G) acid. The structure and charge of these compounds make them superior toxic metal chelators.*

Metal Chelation Properties

The toxin binding properties of polyuronides is dependent on their degree of esterification and the type and pattern of the molecules that comprise the pectin or alginate chains. The highest binding affinities are found in pectins with a low degree of esterification and alginates that are rich in guluronic acid blocks.*

Metal Complex Formation

Polyuronides form stacks in solution in what is known as an "egg box" structure. Each pocket of the "egg carton" contains a positively charged ion to balance the negatively charged chains. Normally the positive ions are sodium and potassium. However, toxic metals especially lead, mercury, cadmium, arsenic, and radioactive metals have a higher affinity for polyuronides than the essential ions like calcium, magnesium, and potassium. Toxic metal ions become trapped in the "egg box" structure and are eliminated from the body. USDA-ARS scientist attributed the 10% rhamnogalacturonan II content in PectaSol® to the selective binding to these toxic metals.*

Clinical Studies

PectaSol® Modified Citrus Pectin's ability to support the removal of toxic metals from the body via the urinary tract was validated in a short term pilot study. Oral administration of PectaSol® Modified Citrus Pectin to healthy humans resulted in significant increases in the urinary excretion of lead, arsenic, cadmium, and mercury. The result of this clinical trials were published in collaboration with the USDA in the peer reviewed journal, Phytotherapy Research. The study shows that Pectasol® safely and effectively chelates lead, mercury, cadmium, arsenic and other toxic metals out of the human body, and without affecting the essential minerals in the body.

A clinical trial to investigate the ability of PectaSol® Modified Citrus Pectin to decrease mercury burden as measured by DMPS (2,3-dimercapto-1-propanesulfonic acid) challenge, showed a significant reduction in mercury levels after five to ten months of oral administration of PectaSol® Modified Citrus Pectin. Toxin removal with PectaSol® Chelation Comlex has been shown in case studies to possibly play a role in clinical outcome of chronic diseases. A study reported that PectaSol® significantly decreased lead levels in children (ages 5 to 12) who suffered from severe lead poisoning.

Awards for PectaSol®

PectaSol® MCP won the Nutritional Business Journal Product Merit Award in 2004. Dr. Eliaz was honored with an award for his Original Clinical Research presented at the Scripps Annual Conference in 2005 for his studies that indicate this new application of PectaSol® MCP for reducing heavy metal toxicity.

Manufacturing and Quality Control

EcoNugenics® produces PectaSol® Chelation Complex from select citrus peel and seaweed starting material using a proprietary process that carefully controls both the molecular weight (MW) and degree of esterifcation (DE) of MCP, and viscosity of alginates. The specific molecular weight of MCP in PectaSol® Chelation Complex fosters easy absorption into the bloodstream. The MW and DE for each batch are verified by state of the art analytical methods in a certified laboratory. PectaSol® Chelation Complex is produced at a certified facility, under conditions that meet or exceed good manufacturing practices (GMP) as defined by the FDA.
