These days heavy metals such as lead, aluminum, cadmium, and mercury enter our body through the polluted food we eat, air we breathe, or water we drink. Even our skin is able to absorb them into our bloodstream.
Heavy metals or toxins can trigger serious health issues such as heart diseases, thyroid issues, dementia, infertility, or birth defects. The good news is that there are a few foods that naturally bind or replace these heavy metals and remove them from your body.
A Closer Look At The Ingredients
