One Detoxamin suppository is inserted every other evening prior to bedtime. It is suggested to eat a protein-rich meal with a low sugar content.
NOTE: Detoxamin is designed to be taken at night, however some patients and physicians prefer taking Detoxamin in the morning after evacuation.
Intravenous (IV) chelation therapy delivers ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) directly into the bloodstream, resulting in rapid systemic distribution and elimination within approximately three hours. Independent laboratory analyses have demonstrated that calcium disodium EDTA (CaNa₂EDTA) administered via Detoxamin® suppositories remains bioavailable for at least eight hours, providing a slower, more sustained chelation
Detoxamin® facilitates gradual absorption of CaNa₂EDTA through the colonic mucosa, producing prolonged and stable plasma EDTA concentrations. This extended pharmacokinetic profile enhances the compound’s ability to mobilize and chelate toxic metals from tissue reservoirs rather than acting solely within the circulatory system. The biphasic absorption pattern observed with Detoxamin® reflects alternating increases and decreases in blood EDTA levels as the compound circulates and binds to metal ions.
Detoxamin provides continual, slow-acting detoxification—even during sleep—reducing accelerated aging from lipid peroxidation while promoting vitality, energy, and well-being. Its gentle, slow absorption continues to remove metals after initial provocation, supporting healthy brain, neurological, cardiovascular, and bone function, maintaining metabolism, decreasing free-radical damage, and improving cognitive clarity.
Simple, convenient, and safe for adults and children—even during hemorrhoidal conditions—Detoxamin clears toxic metal buildup, facilitates elimination, and serves as a significant, non-invasive adjunct to replace IV therapy.
REMOVE the Detoxamin Suppository from the plastic shell by pulling apart the flaps on one end, the suppository will reveal itself. Moisten Detoxamin with a few drops of water and insert the flat end first into the rectum, just past the sphincter muscle.
WAIT at least 2 hours after eating before using.
USE Detoxamin just before bedtime. Use along with a good multi-vitamin, multi mineral supplement. We recommend using our own Health Genesis, it’s specially formulated to use along with Detoxamin. Use the restroom prior to using, and be sure your hands are clean.
TAKE vitamins and minerals each day.
TAKE your multi vitamin supplements each day you are taking Detoxamin, except on the nights you are using Detoxamin. Taking your supplements earlier in the day on those nights will help separate your supplements and Detoxamin. Avoid using clays or charcoals while using Detoxamin. Drink plenty of water.
NOTE: Detoxamin is designed to be taken at night, however some patients and physicians prefer taking Detoxamin in the morning after evacuation.
STORE in a dry cool place, do not freeze.
Detoxamin suppositories remain solid below 76°F, so keep them in a cool place to prevent melting. If necessary, any broken or bubbled suppositories can be melted and reformed in the fridge.
If soft, we suggest placing the Detoxamin suppository in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes before use, to firm up the suppository before usage. Use the restroom prior to using, and be sure your hands are clean.
To open the suppository, separate one shell from the rest, then gently peel the flat plastic tabs apart to reveal the suppository inside the shell.
We recommend taking Health Genesis (or similar), our own high dose multiple vitamin, mineral and trace mineral supplement each day you are taking Detoxamin, except on the nights you are using Detoxamin. Taking your supplements earlier in the day on those nights helps separate your supplements and Detoxamin. This also applies to any medication you might be taking.
Because of environmental toxicity and this high stress lifestyle of ours, it’s almost impossible to rely on food for all the nutrition our bodies need to stay healthy and strong. We live on devitalized food from mineral deficient soils that are packaged in boxes, picked green and stored in refrigerated compartments. And research has shown that, due to a steady decline in the nutritional quality of our food, even an adequate diet might not enable us to maintain the vitamin and mineral balance required to avoid health problems. It’s vital that we enhance our diets with a wide spectrum of supplemental vitamins and minerals that can make up for nutritional deficiencies.
Detoxamin (CaNa₂EDTA) is a rectal, time-release suppository that binds and removes or decreases toxic heavy metal contamination. It comes in four strengths: 500 MG, 750 MG, 1000 MG and 1500 MG. Detoxamin uses Calcium Disodium EDTA, a synthetic amino acid, in a suppository form as a chelating agent in a proprietary natural base with a time-release effect. Each suppository dissolves at body temperature and gradually spreads over the lining of the lower rectum where it is absorbed into the bloodstream.
Chelation comes from the Greek word “claw,” meaning “to grab,” which is exactly what EDTA does. When a molecule of EDTA travels through the bloodstream and gets near a toxic metal such as lead or mercury, it grabs the destructive particle and binds tightly with it, pulling it out of the membrane or body tissue it was embedded in.
NO RE-DISTRIBUTION OF METALS
EDTA seizes a positively charged metal ion and surrounds it. This action inactivates the metal, then the body safely eliminates the bound compound, primarily via the kidneys. To visualize this concept, imagine pinching a marble between the thumb and forefinger, the marble being the metal ion and the thumb and forefinger being the chelating agent.
Because EDTA has an affinity to heavy particles, it can attract and bind to heavy metals. The toxic ion and the amino acid connect and then–because the body regards the EDTA as a foreign substance, it sends it to the kidney for elimination. Both the EDTA and the heavy metals get a free ride into the toilet.
EDTA goes in EDTA, and comes out EDTA, it is NOT metabolised or broken down, accomplishing all stages of Detoxification. EDTA has been proven to protect cell membranes, DNA and enzyme systems by reducing the destructive effects of free radicals.
PREVENT OXIDATION OF BODY TISSUES
Free radicals are reactive molecules that are unstable because they are missing an electron. In an effort to replace their lost electron, they frantically bump into and damage the molecules that make up the cells in your body. In the process, they cause oxidation of body tissues. When a free radical comes in contact with the inner lining of your arteries, microscopic injuries result. This process is called lipid peroxidation (the process that causes fats to become rancid) and is recognized as one of the underlying causes of atherosclerosis. Eventually the build-up of fat, cholesterol, toxic metals and other substances at the site of injury narrows the arteries. The key is to neutralize free radicals before they damage your arteries.

The pharmacological effects of CaNa₂EDTA are due to the formation of chelates that bind with any metal that has the ability to displace calcium from the molecule, a feature shared by lead, zinc, cadmium, manganese, iron and mercury and other metals. It is distributed primarily in the intercellular fluid with only about 5% of the plasma concentration found in spinal fluid. The half-life of EDTA is 20-60 minutes and it is excreted primarily by the kidneys within 24 hours. Almost none of the compound is metabolised.
Detoxamin suppositories are a soft solid, bulletshaped preparation designed for easy self-insertion. They dissolve at body temperature and gradually spread over the lining of the lower rectum where it is absorbed into the bloodstream within approximately 80 minutes.
The following information is based on proprietary IV EDTA comparison studies:
Detoxamin maintains long-lasting EDTA levels, over 8–hours, compared to 3 hours for a single IV EDTA treatment. A significant finding: long–lasting EDTA blood levels offer more time to efficiently chelate for slow, gentle, effective and safe chelation.
Detoxamin is 36.3 percent bioequivalent to IV chelation–medically similar to proven IV EDTA chelation.
Significant, efficient long–lasting EDTA blood levels enable more efficient heavy metal clearance.
Detoxamin saturates the tissues three–fold more deeply than does IV EDTA chelation, and has been established through pre–clinical studies. This is significant since Detoxamin can reach and remove heavy metals right where they are located. Improved tissue saturation of EDTA gives greater protection to cells, tissues and organs.
Detoxamin has a time-release effect that allows the EDTA to absorb through the colon wall while you sleep.
Almost all the blood from the rectum makes its way to the superior hemorrhoidal veins, a tributary of the portal system, so that absorption through the rectal wall carries the EDTA in Detoxamin to the portal vein. The lower and middle hemorrhoidal veins bypass the liver-and do not undergo first pass metabolism.
This means that the EDTA in Detoxamin goes directly to the organs of your body without being filtered through the liver first. Because of this, the EDTA contained in Detoxamin is very productive.
Nighttime detoxification is the most efficient, since that's when the oxidative stress load on the body is at its minimum, and the immune system's healing mechanisms are working at maximum.
The body repairs cells and releases growth hormones around 10 p.m. so it's logical to conclude that the body’s ability to receive Detoxamin's antioxidant benefits would be ideal during this period. Detoxamin could be the antioxidant of the 21st century against the new enemy, heavy metal toxicity.
Detoxamin suppositories remain solid below 76°F, so keep them in a cool place to prevent melting. If necessary, any broken or bubbled suppositories can be melted and reformed in the fridge. If soft, we suggest placing the Detoxamin suppository in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes before use, to firm up the suppository before usage.

Both EDTA and Glutathione are poorly absorbed when taken orally. But now, with this powerful formula, you can get all the powerful benefits of both EDTA and Glutathione at the highest level. You see, bio-availability is the key to performance.
Glutathione Benefits:
Intracellular Energy Production – Mitochondria are the cell’s fuel energy source and consume more molecular oxygen than other organelles within the cytosol. This creates Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) which generate more oxidative stress. This is a reason why mitochondria are a main target for GSH to neutralise ROS and reduce oxidative stress. Entry and replenishment of GSH into the mitochondria is a critical step in maintaining intracellular health
Antioxidant –the body’s master antioxidant, our bodies depend on it for the removal of toxins. Other antioxidants in our body depend on it to function properly.
Detoxification – detoxifies a large number of pollutants by binding to carcinogens, heavy metals, herbicides, pesticides and radiation by forming a soluble compound with the toxin that can then be excreted through the urine or bile.
Immune System – is at the heart of all immune function. Healthy growth and activity of immune cells depends on the availability of GSH. The protective activity of GSH is two-fold – it enhances the activity of immune cells and also functions as an antioxidant within them. Raising and maintaining your levels can help minimize the risk of diseases.
Increased Energy – Our energy levels are a result of many factors – everything from the biochemical reactions taking place within our cells, to muscle function and even your sense of well-being. Glutathione enables the mitochondria of a cell to remain fully charged, enhancing muscle strength and endurance. Clinical trials have shown that lowering Glutathione in the mitochondria results in cell death.
Repair – Our body is constantly under attack from free radicals, some from external sources and some generated in our own body. Free radicals attack the nearest stable molecule, “stealing” its electron. A molecule that loses an electron then becomes a free radical itself and attacks the next nearest stable molecule, this begins a chain reaction. Once the reaction is started it can cascade through hundreds of molecules. Glutathione performs a vital role in repairing the damaged DNA by replacing the missing electron. Normal to elevated Glutathione keeps the repair of our cells at a maximum and reduces the number of cell mutations that would occur otherwise.
Glutathione is regarded as a very valuable cell protector, via its direct effects on the quenching of reactive hydroxyl free radicals, other oxygen-derived free radicals and DNA damaging oxidative stressors and other biomolecules.
Glutathione is the primary defender of the eye tissues and the skin against radiation related damage and supplies the key biochemical foundations for cytochrome P450 enzymatically derived detoxification in the liver, kidneys, lungs, intestinal epithelia and other organs. Whilst it is employed by many rate limiting biochemical steps in the body our understanding of its role in the immune system management of cytokine driven inflammation is only just evolving. This represents an area of increasing research as the role of the mucosal immune system becomes attributed to persistent Para Inflammation and the degenerative conditions associated with it.

Detoxamin studies have shown that there is continued high excretion levels, even after 10 days without Detoxamin!
Also very unique and interesting science is the REBOUND EFFECT in the blood levels, its degree reflects the HIGH AMOUNT of stored metals in the tissue and bones and the attendant mobilization effect.
–Every time blood levels are diminished, ADDITIONAL toxic metals are mobilized from the tissues and bones.
Your bones are toxic for life. Lead and other heavy metals are stored in the bones and get re-distributed into the bloodstream. Therefore, it is highly recommended to continue maintenance with Detoxamin, this provides the ultimate in Anti-aging benefits.
→Take 3-5 suppositories over a 30-day period. When on Detoxamin maintenance one box of Detoxamin lasts 6 to 10 months. →Take proper mineral/trace mineral/vitamin replacement every day.
Detoxamin is designed to be taken at night, however some patients and physicians prefer taking a suppository in the morning after evacuation.
The safety and efficacy of EDTA is unquestionable, backed by more than six decades of support by the FDA. Detoxamin has an impressive track record of proven success since the formula was developed in 1998. Scientific studies provide the hard evidence of Detoxamin's absorption, bio-availability and high tissue level concentration.
Detoxamin introduces less EDTA than IV chelation does, but they are administered more frequently, providing better EDTA assimilation. (This can be compared to taking vitamins, where a person takes less but more often). Additionally, Detoxamin EDTA suppositories are far safer than IV chelation, because the EDTA in the suppositories travels through the body at a much slower rate, which alleviates an undue elimination burden on the liver and kidneys. Detoxamin works gently with a quarter of the dose usually given by the IV method and does not have the same chelation therapy side effects. (This relieves the kidneys and the rest of the body from the strain of forcing a higher dose on it over a shorter period of time). Although the EDTA from Detoxamin moves much slower than IV EDTA chelation, it remains longer throughout the body and does not burden the liver or kidneys.
Should not be taken during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Keep out of reach of children.
EDTA has been shown to optimize nitric oxide production. This fact alone makes chelation therapy a benefit for virtually everyone. Nitric oxide (NO) protects the heart, stimulates the brain, kills bacteria, helps prevent blood clots that are the cause of most heart attacks and strokes, enhances oxygen delivery to tissues, and helps regulate blood pressure and blood flow to different organs. It is present in most living creatures and made by many different types of cells. It was a sensation when it was discovered that this simple, common air pollutant,-which is formed when nitrogen burns, for instance in automobile exhaust fumes-could exert so many important and life saving functions in our body.
