What Is Oral Chelation?
Oral chelation involves the ingestion of natural chelating substances. Various vitamins minerals amino acids antioxidants phytonutrients and herbs can be used to supplement the benefits of the numerous chelating agents. The addition of these substances helps to replenish any loss of nutrients that may occur during the chelation process. In so far as possible all ingredients are derived from natural sources. Oral EDTA chelation has all the benefits of intravenous (IV) chelation but is much slower acting because only 4% to 18% of an oral EDTA dose is absorbed (compared with 100% of an IV dose) 2) Taken on a daily basis oral chelation will gradually accomplish what its IV counterpart does in a shorter duration of time. Oral chelation is useful in reducing heavy metal toxicity calcification blood cholesterol and lipid peroxidation (the free-radical oxidation of metabolized fats) as well as thinning the blood and preventing the formation of blood clots (a cause of heart attacks).
