A member asked:
My daughter just got tested for lead and it came back high. is it true that i can give her stuff rich in calcium, iron and vitamin c to help lower it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: It is important to try to find the source of lead to minimize further exposure. Vit. C, calcium & iron can help, as can vitamin d, zinc & selenium. I also advise pectaclear, which has modified citrus pectin & alginate & is proven to safely lower lead levels.
