Posts tagged 'EDTA'

When I first took EDTA I really had to search and ask to get some real advice on how to use it. I can now say I know how to use it... for me, we will all respond differently. But at least I can talk from experience and I did so much learning on this that it should serve you in some way. First off EDTA stands for Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid. It is a water-soluble molecule that can bind to various metal ions in a reversible way. It is mainly used as a chelating agent, which means that it can form a complex with metal ions by enclosing them within its ring structure.
