How does TM work?
TM is a complex molecule of sulfur and molybdenum that forms a stable three-part complex with copper and protein. (Chelation). Taken with food, it binds to the copper in the food and keeps it from being absorbed. It also binds copper in the saliva and gastric juices and allows it to be excreted rather than absorbed. When TM is given on an empty stomach (2 hours away from any food), it is absorbed into the blood stream where it forms complexes with copper and serum albumin (a protein in your blood). This copper complex cannot be taken into the cells and is gradually excreted through the bile and the urine.
