HISTORY OF PECTIN

A Nineteenth Century discovery with modern advantages.
Pectin was identified in 1825 by French chemist and pharmacist Henri Braconnot. A specialist in extracting active ingredients from plants, he discovered a heteropolysaccharide with gelling properties, which he called "pectic acid". Pectin is a family of complex polysaccharides that are found in large quantities in the primary plant walls and present a family of covalently bound polymers rich in galacturonic acid.

Since Braconnot's discovery, pectin has been used as a gelling agent in cooking and is recognized for its numerous advantages for health when using. As a dietary fiber, pectin is not digested enzymatically in the small intestine but is decomposed by microbes in the colon. This enables pectin to retain its gelling action in the digestive tract, which in its turn slows down digestion.
Pectin is successfully used to treat Chernobyl survivors.
After the Chernobyl nuclear disaster in 1986, pectin was widely used to treat children in the region who had been exposed to radiation. It was very effective means of removing radioactive particles from the body.
In large-scale studies in the Chernobyl area, pectin was found to significantly reduce cesium-137 levels by up to 63 percent.
Nowadays, by taking SPECTIN every day, people all over the world can fight the dangerous effects of radioactive materials on their health through the air, water or earth.
