Pectins are the carbohydrates and fibers extracted from the fruits, vegetables, and seeds found in all primary cell walls of all seed bearing plants. Pectins are a high source of fibers and are mainly used in the food and medical industry. They are used to cure diarrhea, lower cholesterol, treat diabetes, weight loss, ulcerated mouth, sore throat, triglycerides, gastro esophageal reflux disease, colon cancer, and prostate cancer.
