EDTA Supplements

Ethylenediaminetetraacetic Acid (EDTA) may sound like something you want to avoid, it's actually a man-made synthetic amino acid that is used as a chelation agent and that has some very impressive clinical applications.

To understand what EDTA can do, it is important to understand what chelation means. The word chelate comes from the Greek meaning to bind to. EDTA has been described as a claw-like substance that can latch on and bind to other molecules. It also acts as a potent antioxidant, preventing free radicals from injuring blood vessel walls. Chelation therapy then, is a process that uses EDTA by either injecting intravenously, or introduced rectally via a suppository to remove calcifications, heavy metals and other toxins from the circulatory system and internal organs.

EDTA chelation therapy is not new; in fact, it has been used in conventional medicine for decades to treat heavy metal poisoning. However, its use in the treatment of heart disease, diabetes, peripheral vascular disease and cognitive concerns is more recent. While not an immediate fix (between 5 to 30 sessions are typically required), chelation therapy has; however, shown great promise. Unsurprisingly, EDTA chelation therapy is gaining a lot of popularity across the world as an effective, non-invasive approach to health management. Please note, EDTA is a recommendation medicine and can only be administered by a qualified practitioner; therefore you must speak to your health care provider to see if it’s right for you.
