History and Discovery of MCP.:

The health-enhancing properties of citrus fruits have been known for centuries. In 1593, Great Britain Sir Richard Hawkins suggested that something in lemons and oranges prevented the scurvy that bedeviled sailors on long voyages. That medicinal ingredient was identified as vitamin C in the 1920s, and since then we have learned that citrus fruits contain many other vitamins, minerals, and heath-enhancing substances. One of these is the pectin found in the fruit rinds. A soluble fiber, pectin is known to help counteract diarrhea and reduce cholesterol levels. But its effects are limited to the intestinal tract, as it is not readily absorbed into the bloodstream.

 Medical researchers recently have learned how to 'chop' citrus pectin into smaller 'pieces,' and to subtly change its structure to make it much more absorbable. And they have discovered that once in the bloodstream, this modified citrus pectin, known as MCP, may help combat cancer and rid the body of certain toxic substances. It also may reduce several forms of blood cholesterol better than 'regular' pectin.
