The main value of small molecule pectin includes the following aspects:
Promoting intestinal health: Small molecule pectin can promote gastrointestinal motility, proliferate intestinal probiotics, and improve intestinal microecology, thereby helping to stimulate appetite and spleen, and prevent constipation and diarrhea. In addition, it can also absorb toxins and heavy metals in the gastrointestinal tract, promote the excretion of intestinal toxins, and play a role in beauty, laxative and intestinal moistening. Lowering cholesterol: Small molecule pectin can combine with cholesterol in the digestive tract to form a complex, reduce the absorption of cholesterol, thereby reducing the cholesterol level in plasma, especially low-density lipoprotein cholesterol ("bad cholesterol"), which helps prevent atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease. Anti-inflammatory properties: Small molecule pectin exerts anti-inflammatory effects through multiple pathways, increases stool viscosity and weight, improves constipation and diarrhea symptoms, and reduces intestinal inflammatory response. In addition, it can also regulate the composition of intestinal flora, increase the concentration of short-chain fatty acids, reduce intestinal inflammatory response, and has the potential to prevent and treat certain cancers. Antitumor activity: Small molecule pectin can bind to galectin-3 on the surface of tumor cells, blocking the production and reproduction of tumor cells and preventing the spread of cancer cells. Studies have shown that it has a significant inhibitory effect on various cancers such as prostate cancer and breast cancer, and has been used in the adjuvant treatment of cancer.
Eliminate heavy metals in the body: Small molecule pectin has chelating properties and can effectively eliminate heavy metals such as lead, cadmium, arsenic, etc. in the body to prevent these heavy metals from damaging the body.
Improve cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases: Small molecule pectin can lower blood pressure, blood lipids and blood sugar, absorb cholesterol in the blood, convert it into bile acid, reduce cholesterol content in the body, and prevent atherosclerosis and cardiovascular diseases.
