InovoBiologic Inc. Apple Pectin

Apple pectin should not be taken by anyone allergic to apples. Apple pectin may cause loose stools and gas. As with any fiber supplement, start at a lower dosage and slowly work up. Always drink at least 8 ounces of water when supple¬menting with apple pectin. Drug interactions: Pectin may decrease the absorption of prescription drugs therefore most experts recom¬mend taking drugs at least three hours before or after taking a fiber supplement such as apple pectin. Pectin can reduce the absorption of minerals, so it's wise to take mineral supplements at least 45 minutes before or after taking apple pectin. Pregnancy and lactation: Fiber supplements such as pectin are generally considered safe in pregnancy and lactation, especially if taken in moderate amounts. However, therapeutic doses of pectin should only be taken on the advice of a physician.
