Explore the extensive clinical research behind Modified Citrus Pectin (MCP). Discover over 70 peer-reviewed studies on its role in blocking Galectin-3, promoting detoxification, supporting immune health, and more.
At Remedy's Nutrition®, our commitment is to provide supplements that are not only pure but also grounded in credible scientific evidence. We believe in transparency and empowering our customers with knowledge. The effectiveness of Modified Citrus Pectin (MCP) is not based on trends, but on a robust foundation of scientific inquiry.
To understand the benefits of MCP, it's essential to understand its primary target: Galectin-3. This "rogue" protein can cause cells to bind together, promoting inflammation and fibrosis (unhealthy tissue scarring). Over 70 peer-reviewed studies have established Modified Citrus Pectin as the leading natural Galectin-3 blocker, thanks to its unique molecular structure that allows it to enter the bloodstream and neutralize excess Galectin-3.
Clinical trials have consistently demonstrated the effectiveness of MCP in several key areas of health:
This is the foundational benefit from which all others stem. By binding to and inactivating excess Galectin-3, MCP helps maintain normal cellular function, supports a healthy inflammatory response, and protects tissues throughout the body.
MCP has been shown to modulate the immune system, promoting a balanced and effective response. It supports the activity of critical immune cells, such as T-cells and Natural Killer (NK) cells, helping your body defend itself effectively.
Clinical studies have confirmed that MCP can safely bind to heavy metals like lead, mercury, cadmium, and arsenic. It then helps the body excrete these toxins through the urine, crucially without depleting essential minerals.
Because of its role in blocking Galectin-3 and supporting normal cell growth, MCP has been extensively studied for its supportive role in prostate and breast health, helping to maintain healthy cellular function in these sensitive tissues.
Below are a few examples from the extensive body of research that forms the basis of our confidence in MCP.
Modified citrus pectin (MCP) in the treatment of advanced prostate cancer.
Journal: Prostate Cancer and Prostatic Diseases (2003)
Finding: This landmark study demonstrated that MCP treatment significantly increased the PSA doubling time (a favorable outcome) in men with prostate cancer, highlighting its role in supporting prostate health.
The role of modified citrus pectin as an effective chelator of lead in children.
Journal: Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine (2006)
Finding: This study showed a significant decrease in blood lead levels in children treated with MCP, confirming its efficacy and safety as a gentle heavy metal detoxifier.
Inhibition of human cancer cell growth and metastasis by galectin-3-blocking agents.
Journal: International Journal of Cancer (2002)
Finding: This foundational research illustrates how blocking Galectin-3 with agents like MCP can inhibit processes related to cancer growth and metastasis, providing a mechanistic basis for its benefits.
