* Support Removal of Body Stores of Heavy Metals

* Reduce Impact of Ingested Heavy Metals from Food Sources

* Support I.V. Chelation Therapy between Treatments

ChelorMAX is an extraordinary all-natural combination of unique and therapeutic ingredients formulated to support the safe and effective removal of heavy metals. It is designed to protect against heavy metal-induced free radical damage with the addition of the powerful antioxidants, N-Acetyl-Cysteine and Alpha Lipoic Acid.

Not formulated to replace IV chelation. May be used to enhance IV protocol or prophylactically when some heavy metal exposure is almost inevitable (e.g. seafood consumption).

DMSA is a non-toxic, water soluble 2, 3, -dimercaptosuccinic acid employed as a metal chelator since the 1950?s. Containing two sulfhydryl groups, this relatively stable compound with high affinity for the toxic metal, penetrates into tissue deposits of the metal, only minimally reacts with essential biological molecules and rapidly eliminates the chelated toxic metal through urine and stool.1

EDTA, Ethylene diamine tetra-acetic acid is a weak, synthetic amino acid and perhaps the most wellknown and often-used chelating agent. EDTA has the ability to bind with virtually every metal in the Periodic Table.2 EDTA is FDA-approved for lead, mercury, aluminum and cadmium toxicity. There is benefit in combining EDTA with other chelators because alone it acts slowly and could potentially lead to redeposition of metals. It is important to replace beneficial minerals such as zinc, copper, iron, cobalt and manganese that are bound by the EDTA.3

Cilantro (Coriandrum sativum) (asa. Chinese parsley, coriander) suppresses the deposition of lead by chelating the metal.4 A sorbent prepared from cilantro was found to have good efficiency in removing organic and methyl mercury from aqueous solutions.5

Chlorella, green algae has the ability to take up toxic metals in its environment preventing heavy metals excreted through the liver from being resorbed back into the gut. Chlorella?s influence is synergistic with that of garlic and cilantro. Researchers observed a dramatic reduction of 66.03% in blood lead levels in a group of mice receiving chlorella extract concurrent with lead exposure.6

Garlic in a variety of forms has been shown by researchers to be beneficial in the management of heavy metal toxicity especially lead,7 cadmium8 and mercury.9

N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine (NAC) has the ability to interact with reactive oxygen species (ROS) and stimulate the body to produce glutathione enhancing cell survival after exposure to heavy metals or toxins. 10

Alpha Lipoic Acid is mostly known for its attribute as a powerful antioxidant. However, it may also directly chelate heavy metals especially copper,11 arsenic,12 cadium13 and to a small degree, mercury.14
