AVELOR SUMMARY

Modified citrus pectin (MCP) is a pectin fragment small enough to be absorbed systemically (unlike regular pectin). It binds to galectin-3 — a protein involved in cancer metastasis, fibrosis, and inflammation. A 2003 study found MCP slowed PSA doubling time in prostate cancer patients (potential anti-metastatic effect). Also chelates heavy metals (lead, mercury, arsenic) without depleting essential minerals — a 2006 study showed 74% reduction in blood lead levels. PectaSol-C® is the most-studied brand. Dose: 5-15g/day. --- *Reviewed by the Dose AI Research Team and Clinical Advisory Board* *Last updated: 2026-04-06*
