3 Published Studies: Modified Citrus Pectin Protects Neurological Function, Improves Brain Health & Reduces Nerve Damage

Modified Citrus Pectin Blocks Gal-3 to Protect Against Post-Stroke Brain Injury A growing body of data points to microglial neuroinflammation as a contributing factor in ischemic stroke injury — driven by high levels of galectin-3 (Gal-3), a master proinflammatory alarmin protein. Research shows that Gal-3 promotes unregulated microglial activation andRead

Curcumin and Turmerones: A Powerful Natural Medicine Explained

There’s no doubt that we need to drastically improve our health. The fact that 60 percent of Americans are taking some kind of prescription drug should set off alarms in everyone. Synthetic medicines typically create more problems than they claim to solve. They are “one track” solutions to problems thatRead

Blocking Galectin-3 with Modified Citrus Pectin Supports Cognition and May Help Prevent Alzheimer’s

Cognitive impairment and the development of Alzheimer’s disease are recognized risk factors in type 2 diabetes mellitus. Research continues to link metabolic dysregulation and specifically, insulin resistance, with Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of cognitive loss.   Galectin-3 Fuels Diabetes and Cognitive Decline Emerging research into the beta-galactoside binding protein Galectin-3 (Gal-3) offersRead
