@Outdoctrination This is incredibly interesting 🧐!!

[Dalton (Analyze & Optimize) @Outdoctrination]

Vitamin C + Zinc = a powerful combination for heavy metal toxicity.

This is why you should focus on out-nutrienting your heavy metals above all else:

In the 1970s, several studies were conducted on people with high levels of lead, to see how this combination would effect them.

The first study showed that 2g of vitamin C + 30 mg of zinc gluconate was able to substantially reduce blood levels of lead over a period of several weeks.

Another study confirmed this in a population exposed to chronically high levels of lead - battery workers. They upped the zinc dose to 60 mg per day and saw dramatic reductions.

Specifically, all but one worker had a drop in their blood levels with the combination.

Interestingly, they did NOT show an increase in the urinary excretion of lead with the combination. This indicated that they worked most likely by impairing the absorption of lead in the gut.

Later studies have shown that the combination can effectively mitigate the damage done from high amounts of lead on the body - including liver, kidney and even brain damage.

An experiment with vitamin C in animals showed that while >20% died with lead administration, high dose vitamin C completely prevented the death and kept all animals alive.

They also showed that vitamin C increased both urinary and fecal excretion of lead.

In fact - a recent study showed that 1g of vitamin C per day resulted in an 81% decrease in blood-lead levels in just one week!

Vitamin C actually seems to have a direct chelating effect on certain heavy metals.

Zinc is also famous for mitigating cadmium toxicity, for a number of reasons.

◇ Cadmium uses many of zinc's transporters for absorption and to get into cells - high zinc levels prevent this
◇ Cadmium replaces zinc in many enzymes to exert its toxicity
◇ Zinc causes induction of metallothionein, which directly binds cadmium for detoxification

That last point is huge for zinc, metallothionein doesn't just bind cadmium, but also lead, mercury and arsenic.

Above all - both of these nutrients ALSO help protect against the deleterious cellular and tissue effects of heavy metals due to their vital roles in the antioxidant system.

Vitamin C is one of the primary antioxidants that also recycles vitamin E, while zinc plugs into an enzyme called superoxide dismutase, which quenches some of the most abundant reactive oxygen species known.

This is incredibly important since heavy metals are known to drive much of their damage through depleting our own antioxidants.

So with these two, you're blocking absorption, chelating, detoxifying and also preventing the tissue damage associated with them.

All with little to no side effects.
