Dietary supplement

A composition for assisting natural body functions in cleansing the body of heavy metals, comprising:

• at least one primary chelator in an amount sufficient to move effective amounts of a selected heavy metal species from a user's central nervous system into the user's vascular system;
• and
• a secondary chelator in an amount sufficient to capture amounts of said heavy metal species from said primary chelator to effectively prevent recycling of said heavy metal species back into the central nervous system.

A composition for assisting natural body functions in cleansing the body of heavy metals, comprising:

• alpha lipoic acid in an amount of about 10 mg to about 500 mg;
• and
• at least one second chelator selected from the group consisting of quercetin, dihydroquercetin, rhamnetin, fisetin, dihydrofisetin, kaempferol, dihydrorubinetin, catechin, epicatechin, 3-hydroxyflavone, rutin (quercetin-3-rutinoside), quercetrin (quercetin-3-L-rhamnoside), hyperosid (quercetin-3-D-galactoside), robinin (kaempferol-3-rabinosie-7-L-rhamnoside, citrus bioflavanoid complex, lemon bioflavanoid complex, cyanadin, cyanadin chloride, esculetin and tannins, including caffeic acid), in amount of about 5 mg to about 500 mg.

A composition for assisting natural body functions in cleansing the body of heavy metals, comprising:

• at least one bioflavonoid taken from the group consisting of quercetin, rutin, quercitrin, hyperoside, rhamnetin and fisetin, in amount ranging from about 5 mg to about 300 mg;
• and
• at least one amino acid taken from the group consisting of glycine and methionine, in an amount of about 50 mg to about 500 mg.

A method of removing heavy metals from a mammal comprising at least one primary chelator in an amount sufficient to move effective amounts of a selected heavy metal species from a user's central nervous system into the user's vascular system;

• and
• at least one secondary chelator or a precursor for stimulating or increasing production in the user's body of a secondary chelator able to capture said selected heavy metal species from said primary chelator and to move the captured heavy metal species from the vascular system into an excretion pathway.

A composition for sequestering and promoting removal of heavy metals from a mammal comprising:

• at least one primary chelator in an amount sufficient to bind with a heavy metal in the mammals' body, for transporting the heavy metal through a vascular system thereof;
• and,
• at least one secondary chelator or a precursor for stimulating or increasing production in the mammal's body of a secondary chelator, the secondary chelator capturing said selected heavy metal species from or with said primary chelator for removing the heavy metal from the body.

A method for sequestering and promoting removal of heavy metals from a mammal comprising:

• administering a heavy metal chelating composition comprising at least one primary chelator in an amount sufficient to bind with a heavy metal in the mammals' body, for transporting the heavy metal through a vascular system thereof, and, at least one secondary chelator or a precursor for stimulating or increasing production in the mammal's body of a secondary chelator, the secondary chelator capturing said selected heavy metal species from or with said primary chelator for removing the heavy metal from the body.

A method for preventing the accumulation of heavy metals in the tissue of a mammal comprising:

• administering to the mammal at least one primary chelator in an amount sufficient to bind with a heavy metal in the mammals' body, for transporting the heavy metal through a vascular system thereof, and, at least one secondary chelator or a precursor for stimulating or increasing production in the mammal's body of a secondary chelator, the secondary chelator capturing said selected heavy metal species from or with said primary chelator for removing the heavy metal from the body.
