Update 12/18/2020: Previous claims about Modified Citrus Pectin fighting breast cancer are supported by animal studies, but not human clinical data. Because of this, these statements have been removed.

Breast cancer can be a life-changing diagnosis, and that’s especially true for young women and even men. Most breast cancer patients are older women, but the disease can attack anyone. And, unfortunately, when young women get this devastating diagnosis, the cancer tends to be more aggressive… with lower survival rates.

Two Natural Botanical Solutions Protect Your Breasts 

Looking at the big picture, breast cancer statistics seem grim:

• 12% of American women will develop invasive breast cancer during their lives
• more than 325,000 new cases of breast cancer will be diagnosed in women this year
• approximately 276,000 of those will be invasive breast cancer 
• at least 2,600 men are expected to get a breast cancer diagnosis annually  
• more than 42.000 women will die from breast cancer in 2020
• around 85% of breast cancer cases are found in women with no family history of the disease

The numbers are even bleaker for younger women. Because while overall breast cancer cases have increased slowly over the past decade, diagnoses in young women under 40 have nearly doubled. And that’s at least partly due to our constant exposure to cancer-causing toxins.

Everyday Chemicals Increase Breast Cancer Risk

You’re exposed to dozens of chemicals every day, and many of them have been linked with increased risk for breast cancer. Those threats fall into two main categories – xenoestrogens and heavy metals – and both are much more present than you may realize.

Xenoestrogens are man-made chemicals that act like estrogen in the body. They trick your body into thinking they are estrogen, so your body’s hormone receptors let them in. And because they disrupt the way your hormones are supposed to work, xenoestrogens substantially increase your risk for developing breast cancer.

Heavy metals are naturally occurring minerals such as lead, mercury, and arsenic that are toxic to people. These metals pose a double threat when it comes to breast cancer because they’re known to have both estrogen-mimicking and cancer-causing properties. Scientific studies confirm that heavy metal exposure directly increases your risk of breast cancer.

Unfortunately, you’re exposed to xenoestrogens and heavy metals all the time. They’re in the air you breathe, the water you drink, and many foods you eat. These chemicals hide out in dozens of everyday products such as:

• plastic water bottles
• cosmetics
• processed and packaged foods
• nail polish and nail polish remover
• skin cream
• soaps and shampoos
• furniture
• jewelry
• toys

You can see why it’s virtually impossible to completely avoid heavy metals and xenoestrogens – they’re everywhere. And they pose an enormous threat to your breasts. 

That’s because your body locks toxins away in fatty tissue, including breast tissue. While those toxins are stored in your breasts they can damage breast cells, making them more likely to become cancerous. And on top of all that, toxins wake up a harmful protein called galectin-3.

7 Ways Galectin-3 Promotes Breast Cancer 

You may not have heard of galectin-3 before, but this runaway protein plays a deadly role in breast cancer. Galectin-3 encourages breast cancer development and progression in seven critical ways: 

1. Proliferation – speeding up breast cancer cell division and replication
2. Aggregation – helping breast cancer cells stick together to form tumors
3. Migration – helping breast cancer cells travel to other parts of the body
4. Invasion – making it easier for cancer cells to enter and take over healthy tissue
5. Angiogenesis – forming new blood vessels for tumors 
6. Anti-apoptosis – helping cancer cells avoid pre-programmed cell death so they can stay alive when they aren’t supposed to
7. Immune inhibition – preventing your immune system from attacking and killing cancer cells

Breast cancer cells rely on galectin-3 for survival and growth. That’s why blocking galectin-3 improves your body’s ability to fight breast cancer and win.

Modified Citrus Pectin May Support Against Cancer

One of the best ways to support healthy breast cells is with an ingredient called Modified Citrus Pectin, or MCP – that comes from something you’d normally throw in the trash. MCP starts out as citrus pith, the bitter white part between the peel and the fruit used to make pectin. 

Citrus pectin molecules are naturally too large to affect your health on the cellular level… and that’s where you need to be to fight breast cancer effectively. Putting citrus pith through a patented process modifies the pectin into tiny molecules that your body can easily absorb. From there, modified citrus pectin quickly begins to help you support breast health in very important ways:

1. Detoxifies: MCP delivers gently powerful detoxing actions to help rid your body of heavy metals and other environmental toxins that can harm breast health and cellular integrity. 
2. Inhibits Galectin-3: MCP binds to and blocks galectin-3, helping to reduce the protein’s breast cancer-promoting activities.
3. Enhances conventional breast therapies: MCP is shown to work synergistically with conventional oncological protocols as well as natural botanical therapies, to help increase their effectiveness.
4. Enhances critical immune function: MCP activates special immune cells to support your body’s defenses.

Botanical Formula Protects Your Breasts

Man-made xenoestrogens threaten your breast health every day. Nature supplies potent protection… you just have to know where to find it.

The most effective polybotanical breast health formula will contain a highly researched blend of nature’s most targeted breast protectors such as:

• DIM (3,3’-diindolymethane), a compound naturally found in vegetables like kale and broccoli that helps block toxic xenoestrogens and balance natural estrogen levels to reduce “hormone fuel” for breast cells
• Botanically enhanced mushrooms grown on immune-enhancing botanicals to offer medicinal quality immune system support
• Immune-supporting botanical extracts, concentrated to deliver powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant compounds for healthier breast tissue

Modified Citrus Pectin Plus Targeted Botanicals Work Together

Both MCP and focused botanicals help support breast health. And when you use them together, they work even more effectively to protect your breasts.  

This combination promotes optimal breast cell function even at very low doses. In fact, the synergy between MCP and targeted botanicals increases their benefits for breast cellular health by 40%.

When you’re looking for substantial breast cellular health support, adding MCP and a targeted botanical formula to your toolkit will help provide you with every possible advantage.
