EDTA Disodium
BulkSupplements.com
Overview
EDTA Disodium is primarily effective as a chelating agent for heavy metal poisoning, particularly lead, when administered intravenously. Oral supplementation of EDTA is poorly absorbed and is not effective for chelation. While potential benefits related to cardiovascular and neuroprotective effects have been suggested with intravenous use, these remain under investigation. The over-the-counter oral use of EDTA is generally not supported by scientific evidence for most touted benefits like detoxification.
The Good
Established efficacy in treating lead poisoning.
Free of common allergens and additives.
The Bad
Risk of renal toxicity, especially with higher doses.
Possible zinc deficiency with long-term use.
