As the saying goes: walnuts nourish the brain, tomatoes nourish the heart, carrots nourish the eyes. Fruits and vegetables are what we eat every day. However, have you ever noticed that these vegetables and fruits are excellent choices as nutrient supplements for the corresponding organs? “What shall we eat to compensate?” makes sense. “An apple a day keeps the doctor away.” So what magical power does the apple have? What organ does it provide nutritional supplements for?
Apple is an alkaline food with the properties of promoting intestinal excretion. Apple contains pectin as water-soluble fiber which can absorb excess water in the intestinal tract. It has a moderately mild stimulating effect on the intestinal tract and helps the peristalsis of the intestines and thereby maintains the natural excretion function of the intestines.

Statistics from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in the United States showed that more than 140 toxic chemicals circulate in our body. Some foods can automatically remove toxins in the body. The US “Medical Daily” recently introduced several foods with detoxification functions. The report has explained that the water-soluble fiber of apple pectin can remove food additives and metal residues from the human system. Pectin molecules are composed of negatively charged ions which allows them to bind with the positively charged ions of heavy metals and radiation and then eliminated from the body.
Apple pectin absorbs water in the colon, increases the volume and weight of stool, and makes it swell. Larger stool will stimulate bowel movements, making stool easier to discharge.
Since water is absorbed in the colon, the excrement will be softened, which makes it easier to be discharged. Diarrhea is caused by the inability of water to be absorbed by the colon to form loose stools. Taking more water-soluble fiber can increase the absorption of water in the colon and effectively solve the problem of diarrhea. Therefore, apple pectin can improve constipation and have antidiarrheal effects.
Soluble fiber is well-known with its “delay gastric emptying” effect. When foods are ingested along with soluble fiber, such as apple pectin, they will reach the human stomach. As gastric juice and enzymes within the stomach are incapable of digesting fiber, this in turn increases the time of the food staying in the stomach. This creates a sense of “satiety” so the individual will consume less during the meal.
When the food mixes with the fiber in the stomach, chyme is formed. This partially digested chyme slowly moves into the small intestines, where macronutrients such as carbohydrates are being further broken down into disaccharides and monosaccharides. However, as soluble fiber is present as well, this makes the pancreatic amylase and luminal disaccharidases harder to digest the carbohydrates, thus delaying digestion and absorption. As a result, the post-prandial glucose response is reduced and in turn minimizing blood glucose rise upon a meal that is high in simple sugar and/or complex carbohydrates.
As ProPectin is pure apple pectin, which is a type of soluble fiber, it will pass through the stomach and the small intestine and reach the colon. In the colon, soluble fiber has the capability to bind with bile acids and excrete via the human feces. As the pool of bile acids has been lowered due to the increased excretion, the liver will have to synthesize more to compensate with the increased lost.
As the major ingredient required in synthesizing bile is cholesterol, therefore low density lipoproteins (LDL) will be reabsorbed by the liver and broken down into bile acids. Through these complex mechanisms, the serum LDL will be indirectly lowered due to the increased production of bile by the liver.
ProPectin is pharmaceutical-grade apple pectin from pesticide free apples grown in Krakow Poland which contain 65% higher pectin concentration than ordinary apples. Owing to its high concentration of active compound D-Galacturonic acid, it has a unique potency. It’s nanocized production through a patented 6–step refinement process make it more bioavailable and can easily be mixed in a glass of water, making it the only 100% soluble, high grade apple pectin. It effectively helps the body to remove harmful heavy metals and toxins though natural Chelation process and resists surrounding poisons.
It takes 250 kilos of apples to make one kilo of ProPectin. Each sachet contains 3gram of pharmaceutical grade apple pectin. It is a natural fiber and a source of probiotics. It contains 10 grams of pharmaceutical grade fructose made from beetroot and sugar cane. The US “Medical Daily” also introduced that beetroot helps liver detoxification and relieves bile diseases (such as jaundice, hepatitis, food poisoning, diarrhea and vomiting). Beetroot is also called a “blood purifier” and “blood builder” because it helps the regeneration and recovery of red blood cells and supplies fresh oxygen to the human body. Fructose contained in each sachet is equal to half an apple, suitable for people who are concerned about blood sugar levels.
