                        Not sure if this is true.But thought I would share with you.I take alot of supplements and try to read up on other supplements that I do not take to see if they would be beneficial?

                        Modified Citrus Pectin

                        Description

                        Modified citrus pectin (MCP) is a form of pectin that has been altered so that it can be more easily absorbed by the digestive tract. Pectin is a carbohydrate that is made of hundreds or thousands of sugar molecules chemically linked together. It is found in most plants and is particularly plentiful in the peels of apples, citrus fruits, and plums. In modified citrus pectin, the pectin has been chemically altered to break its molecules into smaller pieces. Pectin in its natural form cannot be absorbed by the body and is considered a type of soluble dietary fiber, whereas modified pectin can be absorbed into the bloodstream.

                        Overview

                        Animal studies and a couple of uncontrolled human studies have found that MCP may inhibit the spread of prostate cancer and melanoma to other organs. However, there have been no controlled clinical studies to prove this effect in humans.

                                    This might sound dumb but just asking:) I have been taking Curcumin supplements for the last 16 months.I have always seen were people would suggest sprinkling Turmeric on there foods or cooking with it.I have bought a couple bottles at the grocery store but never use.It this something(turmeric) you have to buy at a health food store in the spice section? I always forget when I go in to the health stores.
