With lunch: Obviously, the best time would be several hours before or after consuming your oral chelators. EDTA is poorly absorbed by the GI tract, with about 90% excreted unchanged in the stools. Consequently, it is best to take your supplemental minerals apart from your chelators, for maximum benefit.
