(Tom: You may already know that citrus pectin is one of the many ingredients in my top bars and powders. Here’s an ad I received that has some interesting data in it.)
Question:
I’ve heard you talk about something called the “survival protein”. What is it, and how does it impact my health?
Answer:
The survival protein is a very important protein, also known as Galectin-3. When your body senses danger, it produces Galectin-3, unleashing a flood of inflammatory signals and compounds that are supposed to help you heal and repair. Because it’s at the head of your survival-based “alarm system”, I call Galectin-3 “the survival protein.”
The problem is, Galectin-3 often stays activated, spreads ongoing inflammation, and can have serious damaging long-term health impacts from causing disease, cancer and chronic illness, to speeding up aging.
Extensive research shows that controlling Galectin-3’s activity is the key to long-term health and longevity, and addressing ongoing health issues.
Only one ingredient has been shown to enter the circulation and bind to circulating Galectin-3, effectively blocking its signals and deactivating it.
That ingredient is PectaSol Modified Citrus Pectin—the most-researched Galectin-3 blocker available today.*
Because of its unmatched ability to disarm overactive Galectin-3, PectaSol delivers powerful health benefits including:
Healthy aging
Cardiovascular function
Kidney and liver health
Joint comfort and mobility
Metabolism
