It is useful to people suffering from overweight and obesity to normalize and correction of weight. Getting into in the gastrointestinal tract, fiber contained in the seeds, absorbs everything that has accumulated in our gut for many years. And there is a lot of accumulated: the average person because of layers on the walls of the large intestine, its diameter narrows 2-3 times. These layers (fecal stones, pus, mucus, etc.) are absorbed and removed from the body by fiber. Insufficient use of fiber in the diet of people leads to a significant increase in the number of patients with chronic constipation, hemorrhoids, appendicitis, colon cancer, diverticulosis and inflammatory diseases of the colon.

And this natural “cleaner” works very effectively, without leaving any “garbage” and thus not disrupting bacterial balance.
Pectins remove toxic metal ions, pesticides and radionuclides. Therefore pectins are used as a prophylactic means in a harmful environment saturated with heavy metals, radioactive substances and nitrates.
In the process of digestion pectin turns into acid, which combines with heavy metals and radionuclides, resulting in formation of insoluble salts, which are not absorbed by the mucous of the GI tract and under the influence of fiber, rapidly removes from the body.
Neither pectin nor cellulose can be digested in the stomach, both do not turn into fat deposits, but clean, absorb and excrete everything unnecessary and harmful. It takes 2-3 months to cleanse the body by receiving fiber.
