EDTA Chelation
EDTA Chelation IV Therapy in Melbourne: A Path to Better Health
What is EDTA Chelation?
Take a transformative step towards better health with our EDTA chelation therapy. This innovative treatment is designed to gently remove harmful heavy metals such as lead, mercury, aluminium, and arsenic from your body, supporting detoxification at the cellular level. By cleansing your systems of toxic build up, this therapy promotes improved circulation, enhances energy levels and restores overall balance.
Main Metals removed
Pb (lead), Hg (Mercury ), As( Arsenic), Al( Aluminium)
Mechanism of action
Chelation therapy is a medical treatment used to remove heavy metals like lead, mercury, or arsenic from the body. It works by administering chelating agents—medications that bind to these metals—so they can be excreted through urine. It’s most used to treat metal poisoning but is sometimes explored for other conditions, like heart disease, though these uses are not widely supported by strong scientific evidence.
Sources of heavy metal exposure
Heavy metal exposure can occur through many sources such as contaminated water, environmental pollutants, occupational hazards and even everyday household products like cosmetics and cookware.
Symptoms of heavy metal exposure
Heavy metal toxicity can manifest in various symptoms, include gastrointestinal and kidney dysfunction, nervous system disorders, skin lesions, vascular damage, immune system dysfunction and even birth defects. Prolonged exposure to heavy metals can also increase the risk of certain cancers.
Benefits of EDTA Chelation Therapy
EDTA chelation therapy offers a targeted approach to detoxification, helping the body eliminate harmful heavy metals, reducing the risk of toxicity. It also helps reducing oxidative stress and inflammation, which is underlying cause in various chronic diseases.
Cardiovascular Health
Research shows that chelation therapy may improve blood flow and circulation, supporting heart health and potentially lowering the risk of cardiovascular issues.
Neurological Support
Chelation therapy shows promising support in improving neurodegenerative conditions by reducing the toxic burden on the brain and support better memory, focus and mental clarity.
Type 2 Diabetes
Chelation therapy has been explored for its potential to improve vascular health and reduce oxidative stress, which may indirectly benefit individuals with T2DM who are managing their condition through lifestyle changes
How to get started
Step One
Book your
appointment
When you book in, your deposit covers the cost of the heavy metal testing kit ($240). This kit will take around a week to arrive at the clinic, and we’ll be in touch as soon as it’s ready.
Step Two
Schedule your
infusion
Once your kit has arrived, we’ll give you a call to lock in your infusion date. We recommend choosing a day where you can take it easy afterwards, as some people feel fatigued post-treatment.
Step Three
Attend your
infusion
On the day, arrive well hydrated and after a meal. You’ll receive a 1000mg glutathione push to boost detox, followed by EDTA, 5000mg of Vitamin C, and 2500mg of Magnesium to support your body through the process.
Step Four
Complete
your test
After your infusion, you’ll head home with a urine test kit. The sample needs to be taken exactly 3 hours post-infusion. Simply place it in the prepaid express envelope and drop it at any AUSPOST express box.
Step Five
Review your
results
We’ll contact you once your results are back—typically within 5–10 business days. From there, we’ll talk you through the findings and make a personalised plan based on what your body needs.
EDTA chelation therapy involves using ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) to bind and eliminate toxic heavy metals such as lead and mercury from the body. This method is primarily used to treat heavy metal poisoning and, in some cases, is explored for managing cardiovascular conditions. Administered intravenously under medical supervision, EDTA forms a stable complex with harmful metals, which is then excreted, usually through the kidneys. While EDTA is FDA-approved for lead poisoning, its application for heart disease is not universally accepted. However, research suggests that it may offer potential benefits for diabetic patients recovering from heart attacks, though further studies are required.
How EDTA Chelation IV Therapy Works
- Chelation Process: EDTA acts as a chelating agent, which means it can bind with various substances by forming multiple bonds.
- Metal Binding: It forms a strong complex with certain metals, including lead, cadmium, and iron, facilitating their removal from the body’s tissues.
- Excretion: The EDTA-metal complex is then expelled from the body, typically through the kidneys and urine.

Approved and Investigated Uses
- Heavy Metal Poisoning: The FDA has approved the use of EDTA (specifically the calcium salt form, edetate calcium disodium) for treating lead poisoning.
- Cardiovascular Disease: Although not a standard treatment, EDTA chelation is sometimes used for heart disease. Some studies have shown potential benefits for patients with diabetes, particularly in reducing cardiovascular events after a heart attack. However, more research is necessary to confirm these findings.
Administration and Safety
- Intravenous (IV) Administration: EDTA is typically administered intravenously under strict medical supervision during chelation therapy.
- Risks: Potential side effects include hypocalcemia (low calcium levels) because EDTA can also bind to calcium, as well as other adverse reactions that require close monitoring.
- Over-the-Counter (OTC) Products: Claims that oral EDTA supplements can detoxify the body lack scientific support and should be approached with caution.
Key Considerations
- Medical Supervision: Chelation therapy should only be conducted by a qualified healthcare provider.
- Ongoing Research: Additional research is necessary to better understand the full benefits and risks of EDTA chelation, particularly for conditions like cardiovascular disease.

What is EDTA chelation and how does it work?
EDTA chelation is a medical detox treatment that uses a chelating agent to bind and remove heavy metals like lead, mercury, aluminium, and arsenic from the bloodstream. The metals are then eliminated through urine, helping reduce toxic load and support overall health.
Who is a good candidate for EDTA chelation IV therapy?
This therapy is ideal for individuals with known heavy metal exposure, chronic fatigue, poor circulation, or neurological symptoms. It can also be beneficial for people managing conditions like cardiovascular disease or Type 2 diabetes, under proper medical guidance.
Is EDTA chelation therapy safe?
When administered by trained professionals in a clinical setting, EDTA chelation is generally considered safe. We follow strict protocols and include supportive nutrients like magnesium, glutathione, and vitamin C to minimise side effects and enhance effectiveness.
How many treatments will I need?
The number of treatments depends on your test results, symptoms, and health goals. After your initial heavy metal test, we create a personalised plan, which may include multiple sessions for optimal detox and recovery.
Do you offer mobile EDTA chelation IV therapy?
