CHELATION THERAPY irvine CA
What is Chelation therapy?
Chelation therapy Irvine offers removal of heavy metals with the use of powerful chelating agents such as DMSA (dimercaptosuccinic acid) and EDTA (ethylenediamine tera-acetic acid). Chelating agents bind to heavy metals and pull heavy metals into the stool, urine, and even sweat to be excreted. At Chelation therapy Irvine, we understand that the choice and dosages of chelating agents need to be personalized to you for your safety and best results. At Evolve, we specialize in Intravenous or IV Chelation therapy for more efficient removal of heavy metals.

How is heavy metal exposure diagnosed?
Prior to starting Chelation therapy, our functional medicine doctor will order heavy metal testing for you.

This is why it is important to work with a functional medicine doctor who is experienced with Chelation therapy.
