What it is
Pectin is a soft fiber found in the cell walls of fruit. Apples and citrus peels have a lot of it. It is the reason homemade jam sets into a spread instead of staying runny.
Apple pectin is the same idea in a purified form. When it is mixed with sugar and a little acid and then cooled, it forms a gel.
Why gummies use it
Many gummies use animal gelatin. Pectin is a plant-based alternative, and it gives a clean bite that holds its shape in the bottle. Jellutide lists apple pectin in its Other Ingredients line, next to citric acid and sodium citrate, which help the gel set and give the berry flavor a little tartness.
We only report what is printed on the label.
Where it sits on the label
Apple pectin is not part of the 525 mg blend. It belongs to the base of the gummy, along with corn syrup, purified water, pure cane sugar, tapioca starch and natural flavors. Each gummy weighs 2.5 g, and the label lists 2 g of carbohydrate with 1 g of added sugar.
To see how the blend and the base share the 2.5 g, open the home page chart or read Reading the Supplement Facts.
