What is the absorption rate of EDTA Chelation Therapy? It can be so confusing reading different manufacturers claims as to why their product is the best, but let’s look at some basic absorption facts.
Should you go with Oral Liquid EDTA or Pills?
There have been many studies, and the resounding answer is that the advantages of taking an oral liquid outweigh that of a pill or capsule. This is based on all supplements and not just EDTA.
One of the most referred to recommendations and statements is that found in the Physician’s Desk Reference, page 1542. In this widely used reference book, it is noted that only 5 -18% of nutrients that are taken in pill form actually end up in the human body’s cells.
This means that 80-95% of the nutrients are passed or excreted from the body when taking pills. Translate this into monetary terms and for every €100 spent on pills, approximately €90 ends up down the pan!
We are not just talking Chelation pills here but all types of pills, for this reason alone when it comes to any type of supplement if you have the choice of pills or liquid, go for the liquid.
In contrast, liquid forms of the same supplement, in this case liquid chelation, has an absorption rate of up to 95%.
Absorption of Oral EDTA in Liquid Form
The absorption rate of Oral Chelation liquid is up to 95%, with this in mind you would have to take a lot more EDTA pills over a longer period of time to equal the absorption rate of liquid. Pills and capsules may seem cheaper at first but to get anywhere near the same absorption rate of EDTA liquid it works out a lot more expensive over a longer period, as the old adaje says, you get what you pay for!
So here is a sum up of the benefits of a Chelation Liquid.
Summary of advantages of Liquid Chelation Therapy:
- Liquid absorption rate is up to 95%
- Liquids are prepared utilizing fresh elements
- Fewer doses are required to receive the same amount absorbed into the body
- Liquids are easier to swallow, particularly for seniors
- Liquid ingredients are not compressed, which would require additional digestion by the human body before being entered into the bloodstream
- Liquids are quickly, if not immediately absorbed into the bloodstream, resulting in an immediate effect
- Unlike pills, liquids are not powdered, which means that liquids do not require binders or fillers, which cause an additional delay in digestion, in other words, taking more time to enter the bloodstream
- Liquids do not clog sewers, cesspools, or septic systems up to 95% of liquids are absorbed, while only 10% of pills are absorbed, leaving roughly 90% of pills ending up in our waste system
Summary of Chelation Pills Therapy:
- Pills are hard to swallow for seniors
- The absorption rate of chelation pills is, at best, 20% – in fact, studies have shown that the pill absorption rate is between 2 and 20% – very low
- The digestion rate for pills takes (literally) hours, with a minimal effect
- Pill ingredients can end up being powdered as long as one year after being collected or harvested
- Powdered pill ingredients are compressed into pills using binders and fillers; these binders and fillers require additional digestion by the body to either break down the capsules or the ingredients
- Binders and fillers can reduce the absorption rate and effectiveness of the ingredient(s
In Suppository Form What is the Absorption Rate of EDTA?
The suppository method of application has a high absorption rate and can achieve up to 95% absorption, the same as oral liquid EDTA but the main drawback is the uncomfort of application and many reports have suggested a burning sensation. However, it can be beneficial for those who have difficulty swallowing liquids or pills.
What is Chelation the absorption rate of IV Chelation?
IV Chelation Therapy has an absorption rate of 100%, simply because it is injected directly into the vein, IV Chelation has the highest absorption rate against all other forms, however the costs can be prohibitive and practitioners in Europe are few, this together with the inconvenience of a lengthy course at a specialist clinic compared to the absorption of Oral Liquid Chelation taken in the home makes it not practical for most people.
More and more doctors are eventually turning to alternative medicines such as Chelation therapy to help heart patients in staying healthy and at best avoiding surgery. It is also interesting to learn that according to a study in 2011 that 76 percent of Health care workers are using complimentary and alternative medicine for themselves against only 63 percent of the general working public, what does this tell you?
Chelation Therapy can help to reverse the effects of arterial blockage in the time leading up to surgery, after surgery, or in between surgeries.
In conclusion the highest rate of absorption is the IV method directly into the vein, EDTA in liquid form and suppositories have a much higher abrorption (up to 95%) greater than pills and capsules.
