EcoNugenics, Inc. announced that one of their flagship products, PectaSol® Modified Citrus Pectin (MCP) will be discussed at the Pectins and Pectinases International Symposium in the Netherlands in April. Dr. Arland T. Hotchkiss, Jr., a leading Pectin Scientist at the U.S. Department of Agriculture, will report on the nutrition and health application of pectin and will discuss MCP's benefits in his talk. Isaac Eliaz, M.D., L.Ac, M.S., founder of EcoNugenics, is one of the authors of the presentation and the scientist who discovered the health and detoxification benefits of PectaSol.

"MCP has previously been shown to increase PSA doubling time, slowing the progression of abnormal prostate cell growth and can be used to selectively get rid of toxic heavy metals in the body without effecting essential minerals, all without adverse side effects," said Dr. Eliaz. "A recent study demonstrated that MCP and alginate decreased lead and mercury levels in patients with prostate cancer, depression, IBS, adrenal failure and allergies. Improvements in these chronic conditions occurred following the use of MCP. Now the international community is recognizing its effectiveness, safety and value."

The symposium will provide an up-to-date insight into the research on pectin and pectin enzymes. The gathering will function as a state-of-the-art podium for both beginners and experts working in all disciplines of pectin research. The aim of the conference is to further understand and stimulate interest in pectin, its analysis and pectolytic enzymes involved in pectin biosynthesis, degradation, modification or utilization.
