Dietary supplement, 60 tablets

Apfelpektin / Apple pectin, 60 tablets is a dietary supplement from the German company Karl Minck Naturheilmittel. The product has a beneficial effect on the activity of the gastrointestinal tract and maintains healthy digestion.

Karl Minck Apple Pectin is obtained from apples through a special, gentle production process. Due to its high fiber content, the product is very suitable for improving digestion in a low-fiber diet., as and to aid weight loss.

Apples are a good source of fiber, especially a soluble gelatinous polysaccharide called pectin, which binds to cholesterol in the gastrointestinal tract and slows the absorption of glucose. They also provide a large amount of antioxidants, vitamin C, vitamin K, vitamin B₆ and manganese. Apples also provide some vitamin A, vitamin E, niacin, folate, pantothenic acid, choline, betaine, calcium, iron, magnesium, and phosphorus.

Pectin was first discovered in 1790. It was not until the beginning of the 20th century that the practical application of pectins, which can be used in food production due to their good gelling ability, was recognized.

Pectin is a type of fiber found in all plant cell walls and tissues. The amount and concentration of pectin varies among plants. Apples, apricots, and citrus peels offer the highest concentration of pectin. Apple pectin improves digestion and helps prevent or treat gastrointestinal and metabolic disorders.

Apple pectin may prevent or relieve symptoms of a wide range of medical conditions, including:

• Colon cancer;

• Diabetes mellitus;
• Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD);
• High cholesterol levels;
• Irritable bowel syndrome;
• Metabolic syndrome;
• Colitis.

Health benefits:

• Improving gastrointestinal tract function

The gut microbiome needs pre- and probiotics to be healthy. Because it stimulates the growth and activity of beneficial bacteria, apple pectin is considered a prebiotic. What’s more, it may help inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria in the digestive tract.

• Helps lose weight

Apple pectin may aid weight loss by increasing feelings of fullness, slowing stomach emptying, and reducing food intake. Slower digestion can help you feel fuller for longer. In turn, this can reduce food intake, leading to weight loss.

• Control over levels of blood sugar

Soluble fiber like pectin is thought to reduce blood sugar levels, which may help with conditions like type 2 diabetes.

• Supports functioning of the heart

Apple pectin may improve heart health by lowering cholesterol levels and blood pressure. It binds to bile acids in the small intestine, which may help improve cholesterol levels. What's more, apple pectin may affect blood pressure, which is a risk factor for developing a number of heart diseases.

• Relieving diarrhea and constipation

Apple pectin can relieve both diarrhea and constipation. As a gel-forming fiber, pectin readily absorbs water and has been shown to regularize stools.

• May improve iron absorption

Apple pectin can improve the absorption of iron, an essential mineral that transports oxygen in the human body and is involved in the production of red blood cells.

• May improve acid reflux

Pectin may improve symptoms of acid reflux, a condition in which stomach acid flows back up into the esophagus, causing unpleasant sensations such as a burning sensation behind the breastbone, nausea, and vomiting.
