How to Buy Bulk & Modified Citrus Pectin
Pectin is best known as a jelling agent for canning fruits and vegetables and making jams and jellies. Modified citrus pectin has earned notice in recent years as a food supplement that may inhibit the growth of prostate, breast and skin cancers. It is ingested in powder or capsule form. While more research needs to be done to determine pectin's effectiveness as a health aid, the Food and Drug Administration has determined that it is "generally regarded as safe." Individuals who choose to take it daily may be interested in purchasing it in bulk. Does this Spark an idea?
