EDTA Chelation Therapy and its Uses
EDTA, short for Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, is a transparent, water-soluble compound that is helpful in binding toxic metals and reverses poisoning. It belongs to a group of compounds known as chelators that bind and chelate metals [1+]. The word chelator comes from the Greek word chelé, which means "claw." How Does It Function? Minerals having a +2 or +3 charge are particularly drawn to EDTA, which binds them. The component includes dangerous heavy metals like lead, cadmium, and chromium, as well as trace elements like aluminium and crucial minerals like calcium, magnesium, copper, and zinc. Orally administered EDTA is barely absorbed by the intestines. EDTA is administered intravenously and circulates through the blood without reaching the cells. The metals attached to it are then released by the urine. This enables the use of EDTA chelation therapy, which will flush the body with heavy metals or other minerals.
