The Pectasol Detox Formula, from Advanced Bionutritionals, contains citrus pectin and modified seaweed alginates, which have been shown to effectively promote safe elimination of toxic heavy metals from the body, like mercury, lead, cadmium and arsenic. Is this supplement of meaningful benefit for mostly elderly individuals having a decades-long exposure and accumulation of toxins, or would regular use or periodic periods of intake be a worthwhile prophylactic measure for younger individuals as well? What is most important for us to know?

Unfortunately, everyone is exposed to this menace. There are increasingly compromised water supplies containing heavy metals. Many crops are grown in fields where there is an adverse mineral content in the soil not carefully monitored and appreciated. So we think people deserve to know about this kind of approach because it has a place for reducing the hazard to the extent it is utilized. The need, of course, will vary widely from situation to situation and individual to individual because of geographic differences as well as demographic ones in varied locations and cultural settings.
