    Description

    Daily life leads us to come into contact with various substances that are harmful to our body including heavy metals. Melcalin O2 is a food supplement that contains, in addition to well known antioxidants of plant origin, a brown seaweed Ascophyllum nodosum that, thanks to its content of alginic acid, acts as a chelating component against heavy metals such as copper, cadmium, lead and mercury1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8.
    It is combined with the properties of both the Vitamin E20,21, whose administration protects against oxidative stress and damages induced by heavy metals, and other substances with antioxidant activity known as Vitamin C 16,17,18,19 14,15 12,13 9,10,11 Licopene, Vitis vinifera and Camelia sinensis

    Fields of application

    • Chelating action against heavy metals
    • Antioxidant
