DMSA 25 mg, 120 caps

The chronic buildup of heavy metals in the body, such as lead, cadmium, arsenic and mercury, has resulted from widespread pollution and can contribute to many different degenerative diseases. Fortunately, there are effective ways to chelate or remove these toxins from the body. One of the most effective is DMSA (dimercaptosuccinic acid), a sulhydryl compound that binds heavy metals. DMSA is an especially potent chelator of mercury. This water-soluble, non- toxic compound has been used for mercury detoxification since the mid 1950s. Recent clinical studies have substantiated DMSA's safety and effectiveness. Common causes of mercury toxicity include not only fish, but also childhood vaccines. A mercury compound known as thimerosal has been used for decades as a preservative in childhood vaccines. Progressive pediatric neurologists and psychiatrists are using DMSA to treat autism in children because of the connection to mercury. Even the FDA has certified the safety of giving DMSA to children, although they usually recommend it for lead detoxification. Fortunately, DMSA will bind to mercury just as readily as it will bind to lead. Before and after hair analysis has demonstrated major reduction in mercury load from taking DMSA.

VRP's DMSA 25 mg is pure dimercapto succinic acid, and it was formulated with children in mind. This is the highest pharmaceutical grade DMSA. It is the very same DMSA that is sold at much higher prices as a prescription drug. Doctors from all over the world recommend our DMSA, and most of our customers come to us by referral from chelation doctors.

Dosage: 1/2 mg per pound of a child's body weight per dose, taken 2-3 times daily or as directed by the child's physician. A multimineral replacement formula is recommended when taking DMSA. I recommend VRP's Advanced Essential Minerals which was formulated by Dr. Ward Dean for use with DMSA.

Note: I strongly recommend working with a chelation doctor when giving DMSA to children. If you are looking for a higher dose DMSA intended for adults, go to: DMSA 100 mg.
