What does EDTA do to your body?
EDTA can cause abdominal cramps, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, headache, low blood pressure, skin problems, and fever. It is UNSAFE to use more than 3 grams of EDTA per day, or to take it longer than 5 to 7 days. Too much can cause kidney damage, dangerously low calcium levels, and death.
Which salt form of EDTA is better?
K2-EDTA is preferred because it dissolves better in water regardless of anticoagulant effects?
Why is sodium salt used in EDTA?
The disodium salt of EDTA is preferred in hardness estimation mainly because it is more soluble in aqueous solutions which allows release of the EDTA ligand into solution to react.
Why do we use EDTA?
A chemical that binds certain metal ions, such as calcium, magnesium, lead, and iron. It is used in medicine to prevent blood samples from clotting and to remove calcium and lead from the body. It is also used to keep bacteria from forming a biofilm (thin layer stuck to a surface).
