Modified Citrus Pectin — direct answers
What is it? Vitality Supplements Modified Citrus Pectin is a food supplement providing 1500mg of low molecular weight, enzymatically modified citrus pectin per 2-capsule serving (750mg per capsule), of which 2g is dietary fibre.
How much per serving? 1500mg, split as 750mg per capsule.
What does "modified" or "low molecular weight" mean? Standard citrus pectin is a long-chain polysaccharide extracted from citrus peel. This form has undergone a controlled enzymatic and pH-based modification process that breaks the chain into shorter, lower molecular weight fragments.
How many ingredients are there? One active: Modified Citrus Pectin. Other ingredients are a bulking agent (Maltodextrin), the capsule shell (Gelatin) and anti-caking agents (Silica, Magnesium Stearate).
How many capsules? 60 capsules per pouch — 30 servings, a 30-day supply at two capsules daily.
How is it taken? As a food supplement, adults take 2 capsules daily with water, preferably with food, or as directed by a healthcare professional. Do not exceed the stated recommended daily dose.
Is it tested? It is third-party tested for identity and purity.
Where is it made? Manufactured in the United Kingdom.
Is it vegan? No. The capsule shell is gelatin, so this product is not suitable for vegans or vegetarians.
Who should not take it? Not for under-18s. If pregnant, breastfeeding, taking medication or under medical supervision, consult a healthcare professional before use.
What is pectin? A soluble dietary fibre naturally present in the cell walls of fruit, particularly citrus peel and apples.
Does it carry the EU/GB pectin cholesterol claim? No. That authorised claim requires an intake of 6g of pectin a day; this product provides 1.5g per serving, below that threshold.

A fibre, modified
for a supplement dose.
Pectin is a soluble fibre naturally present in the cell walls of citrus peel. Standard food-grade pectin is a long, high molecular weight chain. This form has been enzymatically and pH-modified to shorten that chain — which is why it is described as modified, or low molecular weight, citrus pectin. This is a description of the manufacturing process, not a health claim — we cover it in depth in our guide to modified citrus pectin.

What is Modified Citrus Pectin?
Pectin is a naturally occurring soluble fibre found in the cell walls of citrus peel and other fruit. Modified (or low molecular weight) citrus pectin is produced by breaking the long pectin polysaccharide chain into shorter fragments through a controlled enzymatic and pH-based modification process.
This product is standardised to a consistent 1500mg dose per serving and third-party tested for identity and purity. For what separates one modified citrus pectin from another, see how to choose.

What we can say —
and what we can’t.
Most of this category sells modified citrus pectin on claims that aren’t authorised in Great Britain. We’d rather show you the rule and where we sit against it.
- •The dose: 1500mg per serving, 750mg per capsule
- •The composition: of which 2g dietary fibre, 50mg sodium
- •The process: enzymatically modified to a low molecular weight
- •The source: extracted from citrus peel
- •The testing: identity and purity, verified independently
- •Anything about cellular health or cell adhesion
- •Anything about heavy metals, binding or “detox”
- •Anything about immunity or inflammation
- •Blood cholesterol — see the dose threshold below
- •Any claim to treat, prevent or cure a disease
There is a Great Britain authorised health claim for pectin: that it contributes to the maintenance of normal blood cholesterol levels. It carries a condition of use — an intake of 6g of pectin per day. This product provides 1.5g per daily serving. That is a quarter of the threshold, so the claim does not apply here and we do not make it.
If you see a modified citrus pectin product making cholesterol, detox or immune claims at a comparable dose, that is worth questioning. We explain the rules in full in our guide to modified citrus pectin.

Frequently asked questions.
What is Modified Citrus Pectin?
+Pectin is a naturally occurring soluble fibre found in the cell walls of citrus peel and other fruits. Modified (or low molecular weight) citrus pectin is produced by breaking the long pectin polysaccharide chain into shorter fragments through a controlled enzymatic and pH-based modification process. This product is a food supplement, not a medicine, and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.
How is Modified Citrus Pectin different from regular pectin?
+Standard citrus pectin, as used in jams and food production, is a long-chain, high molecular weight polysaccharide. This form has been enzymatically modified to reduce that molecular weight, which is why it is described as 'modified' or 'low molecular weight' citrus pectin.
What dose of Modified Citrus Pectin is in this product?
+Each 2-capsule serving provides 1500mg of Modified Citrus Pectin (750mg per capsule), of which 2g is dietary fibre. Doses are printed in full on the supplement-facts panel; there is no proprietary blend.
Does this qualify for the EU/GB pectin cholesterol claim?
+No. There is an authorised claim that pectin contributes to the maintenance of normal blood cholesterol levels, but it is conditioned on an intake of 6g of pectin a day. This product provides 1.5g per serving, below that threshold, so we do not make that claim on this listing.
When and how should I take it?
+As a food supplement, adults take 2 capsules daily with water, preferably with food, or as directed by a healthcare professional. Do not exceed the stated recommended daily dose.
Is it vegan?
+No. The capsule shell is gelatin, which is not suitable for vegans or vegetarians. If you need a vegan capsule, please check the rest of our range before ordering.
What are the full ingredients and allergen information?
+Modified Citrus Pectin, bulking agent (Maltodextrin), capsule shell (Gelatin), anti-caking agents (Silica, Magnesium Stearate). Free from gluten, dairy, soy, nuts, artificial colours and preservatives. Manufactured in a UK facility.
Is Modified Citrus Pectin safe? Are there any cautions?
+Food supplements must not replace a varied, balanced diet and healthy lifestyle. If pregnant, breastfeeding or on medication, consult a doctor before use. As with any fibre supplement, take it with plenty of water. This product is a food supplement, not a medicine.
What does third-party tested mean here?
+An independent laboratory tests finished-product batches for identity and purity before release.
Can I take it alongside other supplements or medication?
+Fibre supplements can affect how some oral medications are absorbed if taken at the same time. As a general precaution, leave 1-2 hours between this product and any prescription medication, and consult your GP if you are unsure.
What is your returns and satisfaction guarantee policy?
+We offer a 60-day satisfaction guarantee. Email us within 60 days of delivery for a full refund — no return required, no restocking fee. Your statutory rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 apply in addition and are unaffected.
Why does this product use a gelatin capsule rather than a vegan shell?
+This SKU is formulated with a gelatin capsule shell. It is clearly stated on pack and on this page so vegans and vegetarians can make an informed choice before ordering.
