Modified citrus pectin (MAP) is a carbohydrate derived from the soluble fiber of citrus peels that has been broken down into smaller fragments to be more easily absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract. The AOR MAP is refined to match the specific size and weight of the pectin used in the studies.
The white skin just below the peel of citrus fruits such as grapefruits and oranges is packed with good pectin. Unfortunately, its bitter taste and chalky texture make it an undesirable food. This is where MAP comes in. MAP has been shown to combat heavy metal toxicity and promote healthy cell growth.
Citrus pectin is very rich in galactose. This pectin is in the form of long complex chains with galactose residues hidden deep within their complex molecular branches. To solve this problem, the carbohydrate chains can be split into shorter fragments under pH controlled conditions, exposing more galactose residues and simplifying the complex branching of the molecule. Consistent processing of lemon, grapefruit, or tangerine fibers yields pH modified citrus pectin. This modification process maximizes the potential for interaction between the galactose residues of the pectin and galectin-3, thus unlocking the potential of citrus pectin.
AOR's MAP is prepared from Florida and French oranges and not from grapefruit, since grapefruit is known to interfere with some drugs. AOR MAP also does not contain any masking agents such as dyes or flavors in order to maintain a pure product for the vulnerable populations using this product. This means that the physical properties of the product such as color, taste and solubility may change depending on environmental factors such as time of harvest, country of origin, soil conditions, etc.
Adults: Add one scoop to water or juice 3 times daily and take with food or immediately after meals (to minimize gastrointestinal irritation and prevent overly rapid absorption), or as recommended by a healthcare professional.
