What is Metal-Free^® ?

Metal-Free is an oral dietary supplement that helps the body to bind and remove heavy metals. Metal-Free is entirely natural and derived from natural substances. It is not a drug, a homeopathic or herbal tincture.

Metal-Free comes from a natural proprietary process called micro-fermentation. In this process, a group of friendly bacteria are grown in a broth culture and fed some other unique nutrients as their food. The bacteria then produce some special proteins that are able to bind to and carry heavy metals out of the body. They are able to bind with heavy metals very tightly so are unlikely to release them until they are out of the body. These special proteins are the active ingredients in Metal-Free.

Other frequently used pharmaceutical chelators form looser bonds, which allow for the possibility of the heavy metal to be picked up one place and dropped off at another place in the body. A chelator is a substance that is able to form a complex bond with a heavy metal so that it can be pulled out of the body.

With Metal-Free, heavy metals such as lead, mercury, arsenic, cadmium, antimony and uranium, are principally removed through the bowels and hair. Metal-Free therefore protects the sensitive kidney (where most other chelators work) from any free-radical damage caused by these toxins.

Further, Metal-Free is very small in size and weight (nanograms) and can get into any tissue where heavy metals are present. It quickly binds to them and transports them out via the stool or in the hair where they are eliminated.

Metal-Free is a unique formula, which is a very potent heavy metal remover. As you will read below, the key ingredients work together to accomplish their tasks of helping the body detoxify heavy metals. For example, the small proteins derived from the ingredients form a cage-like structure, which bind to heavy metals in the body and then are eliminated. The final solution is filtered to nanogram units, allowing it to readily absorbed by the body.

The main ingredients in the micro-fermentation process are listed below.
Microactivated algae, lactobacillus and bifidus and twenty other friendly sea and soil organisms are grown in culture along with the following nutrients:

Peptidylgluconase:
Peptidylgluconase is an enzyme produced by the lactobacilli during fermentation, which is involved in glucose metabolism. It is also found in yogurt and has binding properties.

Glycine:
Glycine, also known as aminoacetic acid, is the simplest amino acid and acts as a neurotransmitter antagonist. This substance is found naturally in many foods and can be synthesized in the human body where some of its functions are: a) it helps to improve glycogen storage b) it is employed in the synthesis of hemoglobin, collagen, and glutathione, and c) it promotes the amelioration (improvement) of high blood fat and uric acid levels. Glycine is also a component of a vital bile acid, and together with cysteine and glutamic acid, makes up glutathione, a major liver detoxifier and free radical fighter.

Ionic sea minerals:
An ionic mineral is an element that has either positive or negative charge. This means the element has missing or excess electrons and this factor makes the mineral soluble in water so that it can be absorbed into the body. Often metal- toxic patients are mineral deficient and this leads to problems in enzyme function, water balance, and nerve conduction in every cell in the body. These ionic sea minerals are needed in healing the metal-toxic patient.

Hydrated colloidal silica:
About .05 percent of the human body weight is silica. Silica is essentially a building block of nature. Silica is found in every living substance on earth, and is a vital component to the health and regeneration of human cells. It is a basic constituent for proper body function and a key element in the following body components: the lungs, the spleen, the lymph nodes, the blood, connective tissues, the nails, the hair, the skin, the skeletal system (bones), the blood vessels, cartilage and tendons.

As one grows older, silica levels decline in the body. In our youth our tissues absorb and maintain high levels of silica and simultaneously our bodies remain flexible, resilient and energetic with soft supple skin. Some of the elements that silica works in synergy with are boron, calcium, magnesium, potassium, and ascorbic acid. Silica is vital for protein synthesis and metabolism in addition to being necessary for new cell growth and healthy cell synergy. Silica supplementation can help cell metabolism become reactivated and enhance the cell's ability for duplication, division and new growth.

Glutathione:
Glutathione is a small peptide (a molecule of protein made up of two or more amino acids) that dumps free radicals as well as being an antioxidant, heavy metal detoxifier, protector of red blood cell integrity and a transporter of various proteins. It also helps to regenerate Vitamin C. A free radical is a molecule that is missing an electron. Because electrons normally come in pairs, this creates problems when free radicals bump into a cell's membrane, other proteins or even DNA. The result of their greedy acquisition of electrons is damage to those tissues by a chain reaction. Glutathione prevents this by donating an electron. Glutathione is found in all cells and organs of the body, with highest levels being found in the liver, spleen, kidneys (which are, among other things, detoxification organs) and the pancreas.

Interestingly enough, the liver is also a major organ of Glutathione production and exports a great deal of Glutathione into the plasma. About 40% of the Glutathione sent out by the liver is taken up by the lungs, heart and brain. The remaining 60% goes to the kidney, which is another important part of the detoxification pathway. One significant feature of Glutathione is that it may act as a chelating agent. A chelator is a molecule that can bind and eliminate a toxic metal. Glutathione is a sulfur-containing amino acid derivative found in all body tissues. Without the presence of Glutathione, other important antioxidants such as Vitamins C and E cannot adequately do their job. Another major function of Glutathione is in the body's natural detoxification of foreign chemical compounds. Glutathione is made up of three amino acids: Cysteine, Glutamic Acid (Glutamate) and Glycine.

Vitamin C:
This well known vitamin is essential for healthy teeth, gums and bones. Vitamin C is required for the synthesis of collagen, which could be called the intercellular "cement" which keeps tissues together. In addition to other ingredients in Metal-Free, Vitamin C is also a major antioxidant nutrient. As an antioxidant, it can help prevent damage to DNA, lipids, and proteins caused by free radical molecules (a process also known as oxidation).

Hyaluronic Acid:
Hyaluronic Acid is a natural substance with physiological therapeutic activity. It is a highly viscous substance with numerous biological functions that are found in a variety of body tissues. Columns of fibers composed mostly of collagen and elastin, support the surface layers of the skin. This network of fibers forms the molecular sponge known as the “connective tissue.” The spaces within this sponge are filled with a mixture of water, protein complexes and Hyaluronic Acid. This jelly-like complex is necessary for transport of nutrients from the bloodstream, via the capillary network, to the living cells of the skin. It is the most predominant of the components that make up the inter-cellular cement, the capillary walls and the extracellular matrix of connective tissue.

Fulvic Acid:
Fulvic Acids are excellent natural chelators and are vitally important in the metabolism of cells. Fulvic Acid has the power to form stable water-soluble complexes with many types of toxic metals so they can be mobilized out of the body. Since the molecule is very small, it can penetrate in cells and be utilized by the body. Scientists have estimated that it takes over 3 tons of fresh green plant matter for nature to produce one quart of concentrated Fulvic Acid. It is noteworthy that it is almost completely lacking in today's modern diet. Fulvic Acid has been shown to be a powerful organic source of electrolytes, helping to balance cell life.

Ferulic Acid:
Ferulic Acid is an organic acid. Its major physiological role is likely to be its potent antioxidant and photo-protective function

Lipoic Acid:
Sometimes referred to as the “universal antioxidant,” this vitamin-like substance is soluble in both fat and water. It is important in the regeneration of Vitamin E and Vitamin C, and also helps to conserve them. Thus, when the body is deficient in Lipoic Acid, the other antioxidants do not properly network together. Lipoic Acid has also been used for many years to protect the liver and to help detoxify the body of heavy metals. Lipoic Acid works both inside and outside the cell, at the membrane level to protect them from free radical injury.

Chlorella:
Chlorella is a green single-celled algae cultivated in fresh water ponds. Its grass-like smell comes from the high amounts of chlorophyll in it, the highest concentration of any plant in the world. As a matter of fact, it has existed on the planet for billions of years and was one of the first foods to appear. Numerous studies have been done on Chlorella's detoxifying effect on cadmium, heavy metals, PCBs, and chlordecone (a harmful insecticide). The detoxification capability of Chlorella comes from both its cell wall and cell contents. Chlorella's distinctive cell wall picks up and binds to harmful substances that may enter the body, such as heavy metals and pesticides.

Acetylcysteine:
Despite being little known, Acetylcysteine, also known as N-Acetylcysteine (NAC), is a powerful antioxidant and a powerful tool in maintaining immunity. It also can detoxify heavy metals such as mercury, lead, and cadmium (J. Clin. Pharmacol. 13 (1973): 332-6), herbicides such as Paraquat (Rev. Respir. Dis. 143, no. 4 part 2 (1991): A731), and some environmental pollutants. Acetylcysteine, an amino acid, is a cysteine derivative, which is necessary for the production of intracellular Glutathione.
