This formula contains several ingredients known as “chelators” that help your body rid itself of heavy metals toxins such as such as lead, mercury, aluminum and arsenic. These heavy metals are toxic to cells at very low concentrations. Lead is mostly stored in bone and can cause fatigue. Mercury is largely stored in the nervous system and can cause nervous system damage and mood changes. Aluminum has been associated with memory problems, while arsenic can depress the immune system. Modern life results in exposure to many of these toxic metals, but, unfortunately, the human body possesses very limited means of ridding itself of these toxins. Optimal health requires an effective mechanism for removal of these toxic metals, and the most effective method is heavy metal chelators (substances that lock onto and remove heavy metals). Chelation Formula contains DMSA, Humifulvate and EDTA, which are powerful and effective heavy metal chelators. The ingredients in Chelex remove heavy metals toxins from the body safely and effectively. Chelation Formula also contains Cilantro, Chlorella, N-Acetyl Cysteine and Alpha Lipoic Acid. Cilantro and Chlorella aid in the effective clearance of heavy metals from the intestines and simultaneously provide protection to the liver during the detoxification process. For health maintenance we recommend 1 – 2 Chelation Formula twice a day.
