EcoNugenics Develops Safe Antidote for Lead Toxicity in Children

EcoNugenics announced today that their product, PectaSol, a natural supplement made with modified citrus pectin (MCP) from citrus peel, is a safe, natural antidote for lead toxicity in children. The study reported that MCP decreases lead levels in children (ages 5 to 12) who are suffering from severe lead poisoning.

The research was conducted at a children’s hospital in China. The project was a joint effort with Northern California’s EcoNugenics, the US Department of Agriculture (USDA)-Agricultural Research Service (ARS) and the Chinese Medical Children’s Hospital researchers.

The major findings show that PectaSol is the first oral chelator that has been proven to be safe and effective in reducing heavy metal toxicity in children, without harming the overall health of the child. No adverse effects were observed.
