HEAVY METAL DETOX PROTOCOL FOR ADULTS
Protocol Objectives: To mobilize and eliminate stored heavy metals, such as mercury, lead, arsenic, and cadmium, using specific and essential supplements. The protocol is divided into 3 strategic phases for a progressive and safe detoxification.
PHASE 1: PREPARATION (WEEK 1)
Optimize liver, kidneys and antioxidant system before starting the mobilization of heavy metals.
-
Essential Minerals – 1 capsule with breakfast and 2 with lunch.
Function: Provides key minerals (zinc, selenium, magnesium, iodine, among others) that prevent mineral deficiencies and protect tissues vulnerable to toxic metals. Promotes basic mineral homeostasis and supports endogenous antioxidant enzymes. -
N-Acetylcysteine (NAC) – 600mg twice a day, morning and night.
Function: Direct precursor of glutathione, increases hepatic antioxidant capacity and prepares the body to tolerate the mobilized toxic load.
PHASE 2: MOBILIZATION AND CHELATION (WEEKS 2 to 5)
The metals are mobilized from deep tissues and their elimination is facilitated through urine and feces.
-
Alpha-Lipoic Acid (ALA) Liposomal – 300mg every 6 hours.
Function: A powerful fat-soluble chelating agent that crosses the blood-brain barrier, allowing the removal of heavy metals even from the central nervous system. It also recycles glutathione, vitamins C and E. -
N-Acetylcysteine (NAC) – 2 capsules of 600mg, twice a day (morning and night).
Function: Maintains optimal levels of intracellular glutathione throughout the day, protecting liver and kidney cells. -
Essential Minerals – 4 capsules together once a day (at breakfast or lunch).
Function: Replacement of minerals displaced by heavy metals. Reduces the risk of toxic redistribution.
PHASE 3: CONSOLIDATION AND MAINTENANCE (WEEKS 6 to 8)
It completes the detoxification process, strengthens the antioxidant balance, and prevents the reabsorption of residual toxins.
-
Alpha-Lipoic Acid (ALA) – 100mg twice a day.
Function: Continues to gently chelate persistent residues. Protects mitochondria and prolongs antioxidant activity. -
N-Acetylcysteine (NAC) – 600mg twice a day.
Function: Supports glutathione production and reduces free radicals during the final cellular cleansing cycle. -
Essential Minerals – 2 capsules daily (morning and lunch).
Function: Ensures mineral balance and prevents the intestinal reabsorption of metals.
