Toxic overload and the inability to effectively eliminate these toxic substances causes common health complaints: fatigue, headaches, muscle and joint pain, breathing troubles, digestive complaints, weight gain, hormonal imbalances, mood and attention challenges, and more. Long-term toxicity has also been associated with more serious health conditions, such as Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, certain types of cancers, and many autoimmune disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis and chronic fatigue syndrome.

Toxic metal increase oxidative stress which overloads protective antioxidants such as N-acetylcysteine, Alpha lipolic acid and glutathione – all are necessary for our health. Toxic metal, displace minerals like zinc, copper, calcium and magnesium and many more trace minerals that are crucial to our enzymatic reactions. Toxic metals also cause B vitamins deficiencies especially B1, B6, folate and B12
