IMD Intestinal Cleanse optimizes the natural elimination of metals through the intestines. * This thiol functionalized silica provides insoluble thiol groups to bind and remove mercury and other heavy metals accumulated in the intestines, while silencing by directly quenching free radicals. *1 The actions of IMD improve phase III detoxification - that is, the system of transporters that exit the body.
Active Chemistry of IMD Intestinal Metal Detoxification (IMD) is a proprietary product that consists of highly purified silica with covalently attached thiolic metal binding groups. Both silica base and bonding agents are GRAS (generally recognized as safe) for use in foods. The compound's specific chemistry has several advantages over other detoxification remedies, and there are more active binding groups to other compounds for metals in the intestines. IMD does not enter the bloodstream and therefore will not lead to surges of mobilized metals that can potentially lead to kidney/republic overload.
IMD intercepts methylmercury and other metals trapped in the enterohepatic circulation, binding and escorting them out of the intestines. By doing so, mercury bound to organs and tissues is able to flow safely into the bloodstream at a natural rate and then be eliminated by the liver and kidneys. *The local action of free radical scavenging and metal removal supports intestinal health as both factors can contribute to intestinal inflammation.
Clear Blocked Detoxification Pathways Intestinal inflammation inhibits the elimination of toxins by causing a severe downregulation of the body's natural detoxification pathways.2 Ironically, exposure to certain toxins contributes to intestinal inflammation. For example, corrosion of mercury amalgam results in the release of mercury mercury (HgII, also called inorganic mercury). When swallowed with saliva, HgII contributes to intestinal inflammation which unfortunately further insults the body by blocking detoxification.3 In addition to inflammation, a buildup of metals alone has been shown to slow down transport proteins that are essential for protecting the body from toxins.4 Data suggests
