Certo Detox Methods

Word on the street is there is a detoxing method that has a high pass rate, is called the Certo Method. Many people are looking for quick fixes to rid their bodies of lingering toxin metabolites.

Using fruit pectin to detox your body has potential but it’s not the best solution. The results can vary, so what is all the hype about?

Creto is an inexpensive option but will it get you the results you are looking for? Opinions vary, but here is our opinion of how to use it and what you can expect when you do.

What Is Certo?

Certo is the generic name for Fruit Pectin. A similar product to Certo is Sure-Jell. They are different brands, but both contain Pectin.

Apples, guavas, oranges, and many other fruits contain Pectin. The extraction from these fruits are polysaccharides, a long chain of monosaccharides, known as Pectin.

A Polysaccharide is an indigestible fiber, unlike the carbohydrates glucose and fructose, found in fruits.

If you don’t want to buy Certo, you can make it in the comfort of your home. The fruits are first boiled in water with a few teaspoons of an acidic base, like lemon juice. After some time, the reduction will thicken and will gel when cool.

Uses For Certo

Pectin is a thickener for a variety of foods. The most common use for Certo is to make jams and jellies.

Gelatin is a common, cheaper substitute similar to Certo but made from animal products. They have another significant difference; Pectin is a fiber and Gelatin is a protein.

Since Gelatin contains animal products, vegetarians will look for products made with Pectin. Both products are available in powdered and flavorless forms. But to gel properly, sugar must be added to Pectin.

Certo To Detox Your System

A variety of high dietary fiber health food

You’re probably wondering how it works. One common assumption is that Pectin “coats” your stomach and traps toxins inside but this is false. Like any fiber, Pectin allows your body to soak up the toxins and eliminate them through your stool.

There are two types of fibers, and they have differences:

  • Soluble Fiber
  • Insoluble Fiber

The difference between the two fibers is that soluble fiber soaks up water and allows it to pass through your bowel movement. Insoluble fiber doesn’t need as much water as it passes through.

Pectin has a unique characteristic as a highly soluble fiber. The gel soaks up more liquids compared to normal fiber, which is formed by its super soluble fiber. Instead of the toxins being released through your urine, they are sent out through your stool.

Gelatin or Pectin?

So, Gelatin would be an alternative detox, right? Well, both products are a gel-like substance, but they work differently.

Pectin is a fiber and Gelatin is a protein. Pectin passes through your body and absorbs toxins. Gelatin breaks down and is digested.

So you can’t use Gelatin in place of Pectin. They are two completely different substances. Pectin detoxifies your body while Gelatin doesn’t.

In fact, Gelatin that has been mass produced can add to your toxin levels. This production is made with animal parts that are considered as waste.

Does Pectin Detox Toxin Metabolites?

Yes, it does. Although there haven’t been many scientific studies on its detoxing effects, Certo can detox almost all metabolites.

Pectin helps speed up the detoxing time from metabolites, such as THC and Opiates.

No, pectin isn’t an answer to treat addiction. Pectin only helps to collect substances and release them through your stool so you temporarily avoid releasing the toxins in urine, saliva, and sweat.

Certo Urine Screening Instructions

Now the moment you’ve been waiting for! Instructions to detox your body before your screening! If done correctly, there’s no doubt you will successfully flush your body out of any metabolites.

  • Certo Method
  • Sure-Jell Method
  • Fruit Pectin Method

All these methods are the same, they just have different names. For this method to work, you’ll need 12 to 24 hours to prepare. The ingredients required for this detox method are listed below:

  • 2 Packets of Certo, Sure-Jell, or Fruit Pectin
  • 2 32 oz. Gatorade (or any other 32 oz. Sports drink)
  • Creatine Powder
  • Multivitamin
  • Vitamin B12 (*optional)
  1. Mix one packet of Pectin into the 32 oz. sports drink, drink casually.
  2. Drink as much water as you can, flushing out toxins that are currently in your system.
  3. Mix the second packet of Pectin into the other 32 oz. Sports drink; add a teaspoon of Creatine and take the Multivitamin or B12.
  4. Finish the drink before your screening.
  5. Now your system should be clear of toxins.

How long does your system stay clean, you ask? It’ll last 3 to 5 hours after doing this method. So make sure to get it done within that time frame.

Entire Certo Packet?

Yes, you need to use the whole two packets of Certo. Since branded Pectins, like Certo/Sure-Jell, use fillers to bulk up their products, the amount of Pectin used in the packets is unknown. Using an entire packet per 32 oz. would be your safest bet.

Where To Get Certo

Certo/Sure-Jell and other Pectin products are available in major supermarkets and online. Make sure to read the labels when purchasing them and find out how much and what type of Pectin is in the box.

Some even use a mix of Gelatin and Pectin, so read the labels carefully.

Pectin For Urine Screening? Is It Worth It?

If you manage to remember all of those ingredients and do it properly and successfully, then you’ve done great. But if you don’t follow the directions to a “T” you risk failing. Not to mention height and weight effects the time frame of each person’s detox.

But why go through all that trouble and worry? Getting rid of any lingering toxins is a troublesome task, without knowing if it’s actually out of your system.

Instead, give Quick Fix Synthetic Urine a try, for advanced detox solutions. Using their synthetic urine or “fake pee” can help when you’re in a urinalysis pinch.
