Now Foods Apple Pectin 700mg 120 Veggie Caps
Jase: How much apple pectin is in a serving?
Kimmi: Two capsules provide 1.4g, including 1g of dietary fibre.
Jase: Why the extra water?
Kimmi: Pectin is a gel-forming fibre, so the label says to take it with 8–10oz of water or juice and drink more fluids through the day.
Start with the smaller labelled amount and increase gradually. Fibre can cause bloating or affect medicine absorption, so ask a pharmacist about spacing. Check before use if pregnant or breastfeeding, taking medicines, or if you have swallowing difficulty or a bowel condition. The title says “Veggie Caps,” but the listed capsule ingredient is gelatin; verify suitability on the current bottle.
Directions
Dose (adults): Take 2 capsules 1 to 2 times daily with 8-10 oz. of water or juice, preferably 30 minutes before meals. Be sure to consume additional fluids throughout the day. Start with smaller dosages and gradually increase over several weeks.
Caution: For adults only. Consult physician if pregnant/nursing, taking medication.
