Apple pectin: the best from the apple

Their high content of vitamins and secondary plant substances is not the only reason why apples are so healthy and valuable for our nutrition. They are also rich in natural pectin, which has numerous positive properties for our body.

Saturating properties

Because apple pectin is a thickening agent, it is able to saturate longer, which is a welcome support for every diet. Pectin swells in combination with water and forms a jelly-like substance, which induces a feeling of satiety. Therefore, it is important to ensure a sufficient liquid intake during the day, an additional litre (water, tea, fruit juice spritzers) daily.

Furthermore, pectin is a fibre, which is able to support the digestion, the bowel function and a well-balanced intestinal flora.

Apple pectin binds heavy metals

The ability to bind heavy metals is another special property of apple pectin. The negatively charged pectin is able to bind positively charged heavy metal ions. Pectin has a strong binding affinity to lead, barium, cadmium and strontium.
