How does HMD compare with other chelators?
There are a few other natural products that purport to detox metals, but when you ask for the clinical trials and research data, it does not exist. As far as we know, HMD is the only natural product that has undergone the “Gold Standard” research design – double blind, placebo controlled trials – with 350 people – that PROVED it works. This research has been validated in peer reviewed journals which can be downloaded from this web site. It is also one of the cheapest available, despite the fact that the three year research project cost over a million dollars! Our philosophy is to make it available to all at a reasonable price. The cost works out about the same price as a good chocolate bar or a cup of coffee – about $2 per day or $60 for a month’s supply. Other chelators on the market include DMSA, a chemical chelator that can have adverse side effects – especially in people with neurological problems. It is a prescription-only drug in most countries. Average price is about $5 per day
